About Us
The enclosure business, as it is known today, had its humble beginning right here in Rochester, NY. In 1958, Bob Lipani was discharged from the army and decided to get involved with manufacturing a variety of home improvement products. He bought a franchise from Alcan Aluminum, which included machinery to produce roll-formed aluminum panels. These panels could be assembled with aluminum understructure to create an assortment of awnings with residential and commercial applications. Due to this success, Bob Lipani went from a one man operation to an established business with several production employees and three installation crews.

Bob started out as a wholesale manufacturer and distributor but after four years, he decided to offer his product directly to homeowners. Also, his company built entryway covers and enclosures for many Rochester area companies such as: Xerox, General Electric, Pfaudlers, Rochester General Hospital, Strong Memorial Hospital, Mobil Oil, and numerous others. Along the way, Bob did residential work for many industry leaders including Chester Carlson, the inventor of Xerography.

In 1962, one of his prime suppliers showed him a product manufactured for the air force (three-inch, insulated sandwich panel roof system). This supplier asked Bob his input on designing patio enclosures that incorporated windows and doors. Before long, the enclosure, as we know it today, was created.

Bob had an inquiry from the Veterans' Administration to look into the possibility of building two patio rooms for disabled, bed-ridden veterans who wanted to view the beauty of the outdoors while still having the protection from the elements. Bob was awarded the contract and built the first glass enclosure of this type in the country. Today, the enclosures built by Mr. Enclosure are better engineered and even more sophisticated.

Bob makes a conscious effort to still go out and visit customers. It is his passion, a labor of love. Do not be surprised if he shows up at your doorstep. Take advantage of his knowledge. Get an education in the process. It is an investment and should be treated as such.
