Press release:

Our 40th anniversary is marked by unprecedented growth in a down economy!

Celebrating their 40th anniversary this year Volpe Enterprises located at 3238 W Germantown Pike in Norristown PA has come a long way since they were founded in 1970. That year unemployment was 3.5%, the cost of a first class stamp was 6 cents and John, Paul, George and Ringo also known as the Beatles broke up.

Today the 35 employee company provides full service remodeling including roofing, siding, windows, doors as well as design and build services for major renovations such as additions, sunrooms, kitchens and bathrooms.

How does a remodeler prosper in an economy that has seen the worst housing slump in 60 years and unemployment at over 10%? “It’s simple” Says Gary Volpe President of Volpe Enterprises “our core values of quality, honesty and integrity have never changed.” The relationship has to be win win for both the client and the company.” “We built our business on the concept of doing good while doing well and for 40 years have never wavered.”

The main problem with remodeling companies is their high failure rate (as high as 60% in the first year as reported by USA Today) very commonly a byproduct of bidding work to cheaply and shoddy work done by sub contractors. It all adds up to too many headaches and when the business closes the home owner is left holding the bag.

Volpe attributes its long term success to fostering a work environment for its employees of courtesy and respect that transfers to its customers. Volpe doesn’t use subcontractors, although more expensive, it brings much more value to the consumer in the form of quality work and total control over all phases of a remodeling project insuring satisfaction. “It’s no secret that a happy customer is the best advertising” Says Gary Volpe.

To celebrate their 40th anniversary Volpe Enterprises will be holding and open house at its showroom located at 3238 W. Germantown Pike Norristown PA 19403 on August 14th starting at 10:00 am.
