Vortex Doors does quality work. Pricing is fair. Communication is excellent. They do a good job of making sure they have all the necessary information when coming out in advance of starting the job, then send multiple updates while waiting for parts. We have had rollup door repairs and new rollup installations and a standard steel door installed and all are still working great. I would recommend Vortex for industrial door services.

If you’re looking for quality work on overhead doors and gate operators then look no further than Vortex!!! Vortex has serviced us at FedEx for 15 years and never let us down! Today was no exception when we called in an emergency work order as Ryan and Pablo were going home. The response time was first class. I also need to mention Rob and Breanna put it all together and made it happen. Great teamwork!!!! From all of us at FedEx we thank you!!!
