Recent D.I.Y. Testimonial
“We ordered our enclosure system and installed it ourselves. The process for measuring and selecting the materials was made easy by VPE. DYI can be done and not overly complicated with two people. VPE personnel were readily available and forthcoming with advice and assistance. I recommend VPE for your porch enclosure project.”
