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!

We had our front door and 2 windows replaced this fall and are very pleased with our experience. These guys are pros and I will happily use them again for the other 15+ windows and sliding doors that will need to be replaced in the next few years. Brian, Steve, Cliff, and Ryan - thank you for completing the work promptly, following up with finishing touches, and keeping our home clean (minimized dust infiltration). It was a pleasure working with all of you!

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!

Worked with them for a 14 unit condo building to replace Pella windows & doors. Brian LaPelusa was great - came out multiple times to meet with different owners and provided quotes based on volume purchases quickly thereafter. Installation was a breeze with a very professional crew that got in and out quickly. I was surprised at how quickly they were able to uninstall two old doors on the fifth floor walk up and replace them in the same day! Couldn't recommend them more.

We used LaPelusa to replace many windows in our home. We never knew there were so many options when replacing the windows of our old home. We had multiple quotes for Pella windows and many tried to sell us on the easiest way but at a higher price. When we spoke with LaPelusa they gave us options and a better price! It was then clear the others just wanted to do it the easy way as they gave us no options. Our home was clean and ready to go when they left. Highly recommend!

We just had our windows installed by La Pelusa and I cannot stop raving about my experience. Windows are a huge investment and we weren't sure if we wanted to take on the additional cost with the other renovations we were tackling. Brian LaPelusa was wonderful to work with, he was never pushing us to make a purchase. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions (there were many).
When we finally decided to move forward with the purchase everything just fell into place. Fast forward to install. WOW! I was already very pleased with our experiences with Brian, but in walks the install team and they just blew me away. Quick, efficient, but definitely had an eye for detail. The windows look amazing and I am confident that the work was done well. VERY well.
We are very much looking forward to working with LaPelusa Windows in the future, only having done half of the windows our house has still been transformed. Thank you so much for being an amazing team of professionals.

Outstanding. We had Anderson, and several other companies install windows in our home due to poor initial quality construction. Brian and his team far out performed any of the previous companies. They communicated well in when there would be here, what they would do, covered all the floors, set up wind breaks (they just installed 4 windows in 36 degree weather in our home), and did a great job of cleaning up when they left.
The windows are well caulked, sealed, and installed. I would recommend LaPelusa in a heart beat. They even took a Zoom call with our condo neighbors to answer all our questions, and gave us amazing insight into Anderson Windows vs Pella, and were honest and open. 5 Stars. Outstanding.

LaPelusa Home Improvement was such a pleasure to work with. The owner, Brian, came out and give us a bid and walked us through the entire process. When comparing the quotes from others, they came in at a solid price and much more affordable than Renewal by Anderson. The crew that came to install our windows were extremely professional and very mindful as I was working from home during Covid-19.
They would make sure to shut doors if something was going to be loud and made sure everything look spotless when they were finished. This was a major purchase and thankful we used LaPelusa for our window install. One last project we hope to save up for next year and will hands down call Brian again. Already have my neighbors calling to use them. Thank you to you and your crew, Brian.

We have used LaPelusa a number of times in the past with great results. Projects have included windows, doors and soffets and gutters. We've been very pleased. Recently, I noticed a little water infiltration below one of the windows that was installed NINE years ago. I looked and there was a crack in the caulking and decided it was time to get all of them recaulked.
I called Brian LaPelusa to see if they could do it or if not if they knew caulking contractors. They don't do caulking, but Brian asked to come out and look at my window. He looked at it and decided that he would not only repair the window, but send a crew out to inspect all 10 windows that they installed and make any necessary repairs that they found. At no charge! That's what I call customer service! Thanks Brian.

Brian and his team at La Pelusa did a spectacular job of installing new, larger windows and relocating an exterior door on my 1930's brick home. They were fantastic to work with, on time, professional, cleaned up, delivered on ever promise. When an issue arose with the threshold on the new door, they came right out and remedied it immediately.
I could not be more pleased. Best of all, the doors and windows look like they belong to my period home. They are not a cheap 'update', but quality products. You won't regret hiring this firm.

Our condo building needed new windows, and they all needed to be the same for aesthetic purposes. Brian from LaPelusa came to a meeting of all 6 unit owners and explained options in an easy to understand way and with no pressure (no easy feat when you've got a variety of people with a variety of needs and wants). Once we decided what we wanted, he walked us through contracts and financing both as a group and individually.
Despite having multiple units to complete, installation was very organized and there was minimal mess. Overall, LaPelusa was very professional and made our project as painless as possible. And we all love our new Pella windows!

We've used Lapelusa for over 20 years, for all home improvements. Latest project was the kitchen. Everything was finished professionally, ahead of time estimate, on budget. Vendors were all courteous and qualified. Workers were on time every day, and craftsmen, not someone found in front of Home Depot. Lapelusa has a permanent office, and calls are always promptly returned.

Here we go again. LaPelusa did a big project on my house a few years ago It involved installing a bathroom on the second floor and remodeling the second floor. Due to the owner's cousin doing an absolutely shit job of tiling and having to have it repaired, as well as having them sand and refinish the floors three separate times, I was happy to have the job done and have them out of my house.
There was one day when the cousin and the floor guys were fighting complete with loud swearing. I found some problems with finish work but really did not want them to ever set foot in my house again so I let it go. A few months after they completed the job I noticed that a piece of crown molding they had removed from above a door on the main floor in order to match it, was never replaced.
The owner lied about taking it even though I remember them taking it. he sent a worker to make a new piece and that person told me, " yeah, we took it, but it's lost, you're never gonna see it again". I'm reviewing and revisiting today because on Christmas Eve, the plumbing they installed sprang a leak and we had water pouring through the first floor ceiling. I called my new contractor and he is currently fixing their mistakes and finding loads more in the process.
