I'm MJ. I've spent over a decade running kitchen and bath remodels for homeowners and pros — with the same products you're shopping right now. No chatbots, no scripts. Just straight answers from someone who's installed what you're buying.
— MJ, Lead Pro Advisor, Emerald Fern Finishes
The Main Event
Send me your question.
I'll personally respond by email within 1 business day. If your project calls for a deeper conversation, I'll set up a time with you directly — no need to book anything now.
Your info stays with our team. We don't sell data or add you to marketing lists without asking.
Planning a Bigger Project?
Join our monthly Live Design Session.
Once a month, our design team goes live — a quick 30 minutes of measuring help, Rose Hill Q&A, and your questions answered in real time, with the replay sent to everyone who signs up. Next session: Wednesday, September 9 · Homeowners 6:00 PM CT.
MJ has run remodels from single-bathroom refreshes to full home renovations.
Real warranties. Real accountability. If we sell it, we stand behind it.
Emerald Fern Finishes and Lotus Home Improvement are owned and operated by Camille & MJ Johnson in Grayslake, IL.
Before You Ask
Fair questions about asking questions.
How fast will I get a response?
Within 1 business day for email — usually same day if you write in before noon Central.
Is this really MJ answering, or a team?
MJ personally reviews every question that comes in. For product-specific technical questions, he may pull in a vendor rep or one of our lead installers — and he'll tell you when he does.
Do you charge for consultations?
No. Email questions and 20-minute discovery calls are free. Full design consultations for kitchen and bath projects run through our free design flow.
What if I already bought the product and need help?
Same form — just mention your order number. We stand behind everything we sell.
