How We Started
Doorways, Inc. was founded in 1984 and has been dedicated to providing top-notch garage door services from the start. It is the oldest door company in the Mississippi Gulf Coast and has built a reputation for quality, excellence, reliability, and community presence for nearly 40 years.
However, by 2022, the original owners were ready to leave the business and retire. That’s when Patrick Allen Companies stepped in. They expressed a desire to purchase the company. When the original owners of Doorways Inc. saw that they shared the same core values as Patrick Allen Companies, they knew they had found their successor. So, in December 2023, Patrick Allen Companies acquired Doorways Inc.
A Continuity of Values and Vision
As the new owners of Doorways Inc., we at Patrick Allen Companies share many similarities with our new acquisition. We share the same vision and mission and are strictly built on being the best door company. Our business philosophy and moral compass align to make us a perfect match. What we have here is a continuity of values and vision.
Patrick Allen Companies is a family-owned business founded by Patrick and Stacy Allen in 2001. Our core values—safety, service, and satisfaction—guide everything we do. It has always been our priority to uphold those values while consistently exceeding customer expectations.
Patrick and Stacy operated the business out of their home. They started humbly enough but built up the company through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Today, the thriving operation continues to seek ways to improve and serve customers better. A clear vision of constant improvement is what drives them towards more success.
At Doorways Inc., we are unwaveringly committed to the quality of our services and products. Excellence is our consistent goal, and we never settle for mediocrity.
Meet the Allens
As stated above, we are a family-owned business. Patrick Allen, the founder and owner of Patrick Allen Companies and Doorways Inc., has been in the industry for over 30 years. He went into it straight from high school and has done it all, which means he knows everything there is to know about the garage door business. From being a helper, he went on to become a shop cleaner, truck washer, installer, and eventually a business owner.
Outside of the business, Patrick’s interests reflect who he is as a person. He loves everything about the outdoors, from hunting and fishing to farming, which shows his grounded and hard-working personality.
Patrick’s wife, Stacy, entered the business shortly after their marriage in 1992 and has been a significant part of the operation ever since. Her interests are quite different from her husband’s. She loves to travel and spend time with their small grandson. Stacy is also very active in their church. She is very involved in children and youth programs, which reflects her caring and selfless nature.
The couple has two children, Brittany and Jack. Brittany is already married and has a son. Both Brittany and Jack, along with Brittany’s husband, are actively helping with the business.
This family involvement shows that Doorways Inc. is truly a family operation that cares about our customers, and we want to give them the best service possible.
Doorways Inc. - A Legacy That Continues to Grow and Expand
Our team is always looking for ways to get better. While we will continue to uphold our core values, we also focus on growing and expanding. We want to continue to improve the way we do business and how we serve our customers.
As we move forward, Doorways Inc. will continue to serve and live our culture of safety, service, and satisfaction.
