    The installers are as happy as I am with the finished product.
    John M.

    Stopped by Greenforest as I was researching gas fireplaces. Two weeks later, Reynaldo installed a custom-made fireplace that's a perfect fit for my oversize fireplace. Bring on winter!

    Valor President Vented Gas Fireplace Insert Installed by Greenforest today.

    The full review follows. Here is the short version: Greenforest is in a completely different league from the several commission-based top-rated chimney/fireplace companies we tried to work with for a vented gas insert in the fireplace of our 1920 Hyde Park apartment. Ray (Sr.) didn't charge for the initial visit (everyone else did); he really listened to what we wanted and gave us a lot of insight from his experience with I think 5 fireplaces in his house and many years in the business. They were the only company willing to even consider installing a vented fireplace in our apartment (Everyone else tried to force us to get a slightly more dangerous vent-free model). Ok, that wasn't so short. To continue... We were facing a hard sell from Chicagoland Chimney and Fireplace for a unit we didn't even like, having been convinced we had no really good options if we wanted a gas insert. They also insisted that we had to rebuild our entire chimney for over $10k or accept a vent-free insert. We paid $149 for that. On a lark, I called Greenforest and a few other companies to see if anyone offered any better options. Even without coming out, everyone else predicted that we'd have to get a vent-free unit and named brands we'd looked at with misgivings. Thank God I looked at Google reviews and not at Yelp, or I would never have called Greenforest. Thanks to several reviews that are mostly irritable rants about the son's abrasive manners (I won't really disagree) and the store hours, Greenforest only has 3 stars. Ray Jr. assured me they could most likely vent our fireplace based on a description and some photos. His Dad, who is a really sweet man (and a veteran), came out to do the home visit. There was no charge, no pressure and we were able to recover our enthusiasm for our project. We spent maybe an hour going through the pros and cons of various models. Also, Ray showed us models from Valor, which none of the other companies we spoke with even mentioned. These had a bunch of advantages for our situation, and we went from feeling like we were settling to feeling enthusiastic. And, it turns out that Ray, Jr. is the technical and logistical genius behind the business, so that may explain why he isn't Mr. Charming. I don't know. I'd prefer competent and able to meet our needs than charming. We love the way this insert looks and functions. I could say more about why the other models we looked at don't work for us, but I've gone on long enough.

    Finished fireplace with new stone and hearth.

    Very pleased with our new fireplace stone and hearth. Reynaldo was easy to work with and completed the work in a timely manner. He even recognized that the original hearth stone didn't match the fireplace stone and graciously offered to replace it with limestone at no additional charge. Also, we got a couple other quotes for the same work, and Reynaldo's price was comparable if not a bit less than the other quotes. Great service and finished product from Greenforest.

Which is probably why the original owners attempted to convert it to gas. We wanted wood, not gas, and we wanted to get the 26% federal income tax credit. So we visited A Fireplace Store and More and spoke to the woman working there. She set up a date for Rony to come out and give us an estimate. Rony showed up on time and we settled on a modern high efficiency biomass fireplace insert that qualifies for the credit. Parts and labor was not cheap, but we wanted a quality appliance and this business has decades of experience, which we also wanted. We put down a deposit and set the installation day, which was today. Rony and his team showed up on time, worked quickly, did good quality work and cleaned up afterwards. Rony explained how to use the new fireplace and was all done in a matter of 3-4 hours. Very happy with our purchase and service and we can't wait until we can use it this winter.

Now that it's the second week of March, my wife called them on Sunday and she was told that someone would call us on Monday. No call. She called again yesterday and was finally told that the screen "got lost in shipment from the manufacturer". IF that is true, why was there no follow up on the order with the manufacturer? They said they could have one made and shipped in 2 weeks. Interesting. We declined because they should have known that the order was 4 weeks late. They have been in business for a very long time so someone dropped the ball and the customer who paid in full 8 weeks ago, shouldn't be chasing down their order. Disappointing R&P C

The store has a wide variety of options to select from for fireplace products and patio sets. They also sell and install other outdoor products (ie. grills, mailboxes etc). It's nice that the store is also open on Sundays. Customer service: The staff here are knowledgeable and helpful without sales pressure which is appreciated. The purchased products are typically delivered very quickly if in stock and they try to order and deliver asap if not in stock. I haven't had any issues with returns if I was not satisfied with the product. I've worked with both Shane and Mike. *We did end up having to exchange a chair as it had a scratch and I wanted some touch up on the table because I saw marks on the table initially. I didn't appreciate the comment "you are being too picky" made by the delivery man. It is just not a comment you'd make to someone that is purchasing pricey furniture. I'm paying more than normal for the furniture so yea there's a reason I'll want the furniture to be in good shape. Costs: The costs may be on the more pricey end but they carry good quality products. The purchases were made within the past 2 years so I'll provide an update if anything changes. I'd recommend this place if you are looking for quality fireplace products or outdoors items in general. I'm sure I'll be back for more. :)
