Vortex Celebrates 85 Years in Business

January 20, 2022 | Company News

Vortex Service Truck 85 Years Logo We are thrilled to be celebrating eighty five years in business this year! Vortex has always specialized in door repairs and installations, however over the years we’ve seen a lot change. 

During World War II in the early 1940s, Vortex Doors specialized in blast proof doors for bomb shelters and hangar doors for different Air Force bases. And even then, during turbulent times, we were known for our quality customer service and efficient work. 

Flash forward to the 1970s and we launched our very first branch office in Orange County, California. A few short years later we opened another in San Diego and so began our foundation for timely door repair and quality commercial door installation in Southern California. 

The 1980s and 1990s we continued to build on our founding philosophy which aimed to make each and every customer happy through our quality and fast service. Over the years we saw even more expansion with Service Centers opening up throughout California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. 

Vortex training floor In December 2008, to support our commitment to top-of-

class customer service, Vortex created our state-of-the-art Training Center. The Training Center was designed to provide all our Technicians with hands-on education and receive special certifications. In January 2013, Vortex became an authorized certification facility to provide American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers (AAADM) Training and Certification to our Vortex Technicians.

Today, Vortex Doors has thirty Service Centers across 8 different states but one thing remains the same… Our commitment to providing quality service and leaving every job with a happy customer. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last eighty-five years! We look forward to continuing to serve you!

One of my customers needed commercial double doors fully replaced with single 36' storefront door. Called VORTEX DOORS and spoke with Sam Holt. After sending pictures and discussing with technician(s), she was able to give me an estimate. If I need full commercial door replacements I know who to call! Sam and Terry, thanks for all your help!

Vortex was the first and only call I made and I don't regret it. Ken showed up and got right to work. He made sure he understood the challenges I was having. And checked in periodically to make sure I was pleased with the work he was doing. I would definitely recommend Vortex!
