Company History
Capitol Door Sales began in April 1975 as a partnership between Loren Hosmer and Albert Abrams. Originally named A&H Distributing, the location was a small storage shed behind the storefronts on Crows Landing Road and Hatch Road in Ceres, California. In October 1976 the business moved to a building on Hatch Road one half mile west of the original shop. In 1978, the partnership was dissolved and Loren Hosmer moved the remaining assets to Bunker Ave. in Modesto. At that time, the name ‘Capitol Door Sales’ was adopted. The company moved to the current site, 701 Latimer Ave. in Modesto in January 1980. We are currently supported by a staff of 19.
The management philosophy of Capitol Door Sales is to respond to the needs of our customer base while adding additional value to product quality and service. We are committed to exceeding our customer’s expectations in these areas at every opportunity. We are interested in customer satisfaction, our place in our community, operating with the highest ethical standards for business, and selling quality products at a competitive price.
