Our Reviews

See what our customers have to say about their experiences with LaPelusa Home Improvement:

"We had LaPelusa install new sliding glass doors and a new front door in our home. In both cases, Brian was really responsive, professional and helpful in guiding us through the various options for doors and hardware. The installers were fantastic. They arrived on time, did their work quickly, and clearly knew what they were doing. They cleaned up the area when they were done and both doors look fantastic! We couldn't be happier."

Lisa O.

"The whole process was great. Brian was very helpful and professional. Installation was fantastic. Workers were great they went above and beyond the normal Installation process. I couldn't ask for a better company. I only wish that I could rate more than 5 stars. Lisa was very helpful and knowledgeable, she was great."

Greg G.

"We worked with this team on full replacement of windows. Brian was fantastic to work with, was extremely detail oriented, and very responsive throughout the whole process. During the window replacement process the team did an AWESOME job. They were extremely professional, on time every morning, and got the job completed even faster then expected. I would 100% recommend this company!"

Kathryn N.

"Our experience with LaPelusa Home Improvement was top-notch from beginning to end. Everyone who was involved in our project from Brian, the owner, to every carpenter and specialist (Steve, John, Michael, Cliff and Jeff) were not only fantastic at their skill sets but really nice people, too. Even when challenges arose they made sure the project was completed as timely, professionally and perfectly as possible. Truly great company!"

Patti C.

"We couldn't be happier with our project using LaPelusa! Brian and his team were really outstanding. Brian is professional and he laid out the work that would be done. Everything happened exactly as he said it would. If he said his guys would show up at 7:00, they were there! The product, carpenters, electricians and mason were all great! Would definitely use them again!"

Donna M.

"My wife and I have a breakfast nook adjacent to our kitchen with windows that were just too small. Barely any light or ventilation came in. We knew we had to do some demolition work to expand the size of the windows out, but we knew not every place would have the expertise to do it right. Tony and his team at LaPelusa were prompt, professional, and did a wonderful job in taking care of our old bungalow and giving this room new life. We are absolutely referring them to our friends and neighbors anytime they need work done (and we're going back when it's time to just replace some of our old windows). Thank you so much!"
