We really love what we do!

Our team is unique in that every single employee at CPI truly cares about their job and the company. Our company culture supports that attitude and provides high job satisfaction which is reflected in our team. It is truly the foundation of what separates us from our competition. We wouldn’t be where we are today without that spirit. We really love what we do!

By the end of the decade Rich was running all of the company’s installation crews with the owner, Chuck Pippus. Rich took on the management of the company in 2001 when the owners moved out of state.

Rene Cervantes

Rene Cervantes is one of our lead installers. Trained directly under Tony Lepores supervision, Rene also possesses many of the same attributes as Tony including his dedication to CPI. One of Rene’s key qualities is his willingness to do whatever it takes to get a project done. His can do attitude, along with never leaving a job until it’s done to the customers satisfaction is one more reason why CPI stands above its competition.

Rene is married with a daughter. His passion for work is shared with his love for music as he is also lead singer of Alma Latina.

Tim is married with 6 kids (yeah that’s right) and is sports fan.
