About Vortex Restoration

Company History – Founder Dean Lameer

Through my years of work in the telecommunication, restoration, and land development industries, I came to realize most companies in these sectors were not serving their customers well, and in some cases, providing an overall disservice. Far too many contractors were uneducated or undereducated and took advantage of unsuspecting customers.

For this reason, I wrote my graduate school thesis paper on these industries and the findings were truly amazing. Most companies didn’t have adequate insurance or certifications for the contracting jobs they were awarded. Compliance was not being met for industry standards and customers were suffering for it. Therefore, when starting Vortex, I dedicated my efforts to thoroughly educating my team, my customers, and myself.

It wasn't enough to exceed a customer's expectations; we strived to make sure we were achieving a high industry standard in the process. My goal was relationship-building and problem-solving, with honesty and integrity being the backbone of our growth. We succeed because we are highly educated and versed in the telecommunication installation projects we are contracted to perform.

“Success is a result of completing projects on schedule and maintaining the standard of quality that will surpass the required, not only by the client but by the industry itself. If a contractor can meet those requirements, both in scheduling and quality, then they’re bound to be successful. More often than not, it is the small details that will get you recognized as a leader in the telecommunication construction industry.”
