Lasky Homesmith Services

Mr. Lasky replied to our call promptly, came and did the work with his assistant 5 days later. Was quiet, clean and efficient.

I originally had a very good experience with Jeff, as I d contacted him about having some exterior work done to fill in huge gaps between the bricks and the window frames on a condo I purchased in 2008. These gaps were, in some places, nearly an inch wide and were allowing rain, snow, and wind to access the foundation of the house. In addition, I was experiencing drafts and heat loss. At that time, he suggested that I contact the original installer of the replacement windows to correct the problem. After doing so and discovering that this problem existed prior to the window replacement. I had Jeff come out in late September 2008 to assess the situation. He gave me a quote of $1500 and we agreed that he d perform the work within a month. He told me that he needed to order the appropriate materials from the window manufacturer, but that he would get back to me to arrange a time to perform the work, some of which would require him to work from within my home. When November 1 hit and I had not t heard from him, I called and e-mailed him to figure out when things would be done. He NEVER responded. If he would have told me that he could not or would not do the work I would have moved on immediately. I was left hanging to have window work done as it was getting colder. I m a single mom who works full time and do not have a lot free time to hunt down contractors. And, because of winter s approach, I have to delay the work until the spring with my heating dollars literally going out the window.

This company specializes in restoring windows. We had a couple of estimates and this company gave us a lower price, but still an excellent reputation. They whole process took about six days. It was easy to use this company and they did a great.

Overall, I was very happy with the work and will use Jeff again. I liked that when he showed up he immediately had his helper start the work on one door, while we discussed the needs of the second door. He quoted me for two hours work and even though he took a little longer, he only billed me for 2 hours, plus supplies.

He never got back to me. Another service provider came around and I called and told him he didn't have to come out. He didn't seem to want my business.

Jeff worked with me on scheduling, and also understanding with pet issues when working with open windows. There was only one point that Jeff didn't call back after a phone message, but in the busy lives we all lead I didn't think much of it and called again, and got a prompt response. He was respectful and intelligent about what needed to get done. All work was done professionally, and I felt that it was a job well done overall.

I had a variety of window problems including stuck and missing storm windows, some loose from their frames, windows with broken ropes and pulleys, and a couple that were stuck in the sash. I called for 3 estimates, 2 for replacement windows and Jeff Lasky, who offered two quotes: one for refurbishing (with new storm windows) and one for replacement windows. I liked his approach to refurbishing my windows, which were basically sound and fit well with my hundred year old house. His price was slightly higher than one window replacement estimate, and much lower than the other estimate. After I agreed to use Jeff's services, it took about 2 weeks to get the storm windows custom-made. Jeff was easy to contact and we watched the weather forecast to choose a good day. On that morning, his assistant arrived first, right on time, and went to work. Jeff arrived soon afterward and both worked non-stop through the day, about 8 hours to finish. They had the routine planned well. They have a friendly, professional attitude and spent a lot of time on the finishing touches after the basic installation was done. Jeff is well prepared with the tools to do the job and there were no delays. The storm windows fit well, were completely sealed into place, and operate smoothly. The old storm windows were picked up halfway through the job. They installed brass chains on all the windows and a metal glide-track so the windows can be raised and lowered more easily. They cleaned up well and Jeff explained what I could do for follow-up lubrication, inviting me to call him back if there were any problems. The finished installation looks very good with just a bit of touch-up paint needed.

I would definitely call this company for other service.

Jeff came by to look at the job but he never got back with a quote. Didn't seem that interested in doing to work.

They are very good - not excellent - but very good.

Very well. Very responsive and did the work on schedule, although with some rain delays. Jeff is very attentive to details and does very high quality work. Not a low cost provider, but I would highly recommend this service for anybody that wants a high quality project and wants to deal with a professional. Great communication throughout the process, no surprises.

It seems as if the company's previous reputation has fallen into the pits.

Took over a week to return calls & email. Said he would call back to discuss. Never did. Maybe it was just too small a job, but isn't that what a handyman is for?

He is honest and he will stand by his work. He is professional. When we had a problem after the work was finished, we called him and he was very responsive to make things right. He came out the next day to take care of it.

He is very skilled at all kinds of projects. He finds creative solutions to problems. He is excellent at window repair. His pricing is very reasonable.

He was great. He was very prompt and reasonable. He did exactly what we needed him to do and had solutions for other things. He was fast, careful and effective. We are going to have him back to replace some storm windows.

I didn't like his work to much because he had too many excuses for not being on time and too many excuses for not installing the windows. He was just not very professional.

Excellent. Both front and rear wooden steps were rotted to varying degrees. After I contacted Jeff, he responded quickly, came over shortly thereafter and presented a preliminary quote. He only replaced what was necessary and repaired the rest. Work was done quickly and cleanly and in a timely manner.

He was absolutely great because he was on time and on price. He called me back and always told me when he was coming. He was a perfectionist. He was all about making it just right.

The work came out great. As he approached the problems with our railings, Jeff came up with solutions that were not only rigorous and definitive, but also quite creative. Where a number of other people we consulted seemed ready to slap a band-aid on the problem, Jeff genuinely wanted to solve the problem completely, once and for all. We were fortunate that we chose him, because as Jeff started to work on the railing over the foyer, we discovered that it had only been "secured" with glue and finish nails. Somebody could have been seriously injured if Jeff had not dealt with the problem thoroughly. Jeff also cares about how the results look in the end. He has an entire mobile woodworking shop and was able to fashion all sorts of wood pieces as needed for the job. He was able to finish the job quicker and for less money that he originally estimated. Another positive attribute about Jeff is his willingness to tell you a $1 solution if a suitable one is available. Jeff looked at a few windows of ours which were very difficult to close. One person told us we would need to tear the walls open and re-frame the window frames. While this may have been one way to fix it, Jeff was able to solve the problem to our satisfaction for free. The windows are closing fine now and the air seal on them is quite good.

Pleasure to work with. I found his company though this website. He was responsive to my initial call, came to my home to inspect the work site and discuss the specifics of the project. He provided me with a total price in writing and delivered a finished product at the cost quoted. The end product reflected excellent workmanship. Throughout there were clear communications. Friendly. Left kitchen/ worksite neat and orderly. Highly recommended.

I dropped the 2 balusters off at Jeff's house for him to first repair, then he came to the house to install them. Later his employee came by and fixed the 3 holes in the walls. It took awhile to get Jeff to the house after I had dropped off the balusters, but the work was very well done. His employee left pieces of spackle in the bathroom sink, that was also a negative, but after the work was done, Jeff called to ask how it had gone and I told him about that and he apologized and said he would speak to him about it. I liked that Jeff called to ask how things had gone.

I am long overdue in giving Mr. Lasky and his assistant, Eric, praise for the wonderful job they did on our window sills and trim in the Spring of 2007. While other contractors weren't even sure how to do the necessary repairs (one suggested paying over $20k to have every single window in our home replaced) Mr. Lasky not only knew exactly what to do but gave us an estimate that was much less than the contractors who didn't have a clue as to how to repair the rot, but were willing to "give it a try". Mr Lasky and Eric were meticulous in their work and my windows sills and various pieces of trim are beautiful. The attention to detail was impressive - Mr Lasky is not happy until the job is done perfectly. We couldn't be happier with the work that was done and I would not hesitate to recommend Lasky Homesmith Service for ANY job; the work ethic and dedication to a job well done that you will find with Mr. Lasky will be hard to find elsewhere.

Jeff was very professional, on time for appointments to do measurements and give estimates. He kept in touch as we waited for the warm weather needed to to installation. The crew arrived on time to do job, did an excellent job and left my house inside and outside spotless.

He ended up fixing issues that original contractors hired could not and were not able to do correctly.
