Here's how Emerald Fern Finishes works
Two Ways to Work Smarter
Professional-grade products at transparent pricing, plus the education to manage your renovation like a contractor. Use one or combine both — either way you save.
Your Renovation, Your Way
HOW IT WORKS
Shop Professional Products
1. Browse or Bundle: Explore individual products or design complete rooms using our Bundling System.
2. Request a Quote: Submit measurements and preferences. We'll create a detailed quote with product recommendations.
3. Review & Order: Approve your quote and place your order. We handle coordination with manufacturers.
4. Nationwide Delivery: Products ship directly to your home or jobsite. Most orders arrive within 1-2 weeks.
HOW IT WORKS
Learn to Lead Your Project
1. Take the FREE Class: Watch our 30-minute class and learn how to save $5-10K by understanding the contractor system.
2. Enroll in Full Course (optional): Go deeper with our complete Kitchen or Bathroom courses -- step-by-step guides to managing your renovation.
3. Source & Manage: Use what you've learned to source products (through us or anywhere) and hire trades confidently.
4. Save 30-40%+ : Keep thousands in your pocket by being your own project manager. No hammer required.
Get the Best of Both Worlds
Learn the system, then source through EFF — professional-grade materials at contractor pricing, with the knowledge to manage it yourself.
It's the fastest path to a beautiful renovation without the big-box markup or contractor overhead.
The Product Shopping Experience in Detail
Why We Do It This Way
No cart? Here's why.
We're a small, woman- and Black-owned business that chose to launch now and serve you personally rather than spend months (and tens of thousands of dollars) building a cart system.
Here's what that means for you:
This is the cost of convenience we're willing to pay.
Instant checkout is convenient for retailers. It's not always better for customers.
We chose intention over speed. Accuracy over automation. People over platforms.
If that resonates, we'd love to work with you.
Common Questions
You can absolutely order a single item! Bundling saves you money (5-15% off + free shipping), but it's not required. Whether you need one light fixture or a full kitchen, the process is the same.
Most quotes are sent within 24 hours (often sooner). Complex multi-room bundles may take up to 48 hours if we need to coordinate with multiple vendors.
Easy. Just reply to the quote email and let us know what you'd like to adjust. We'll update it and send a revised quote — no charge, no hassle.
Not required, but helpful! The more detail you give us upfront (room dimensions, style preferences, inspiration photos), the more accurate your quote will be. If you're not sure about measurements, we have [measurement guides →] to help.
We'll let you know in your quote if anything has a longer lead time or is temporarily unavailable. We'll also suggest comparable alternatives so you're not stuck waiting.
We're primarily an online distributor, but if you're in the Chicago area, [contact us →] and we may be able to arrange a product viewing at our showroom (by appointment only).
We coordinate with vendors to resolve any shipping damage quickly. Contact us immediately with photos, and we'll handle the replacement or refund.
We're working on financing options and will update this page when they're available. For now, we accept credit/debit cards and ACH bank transfers.
What Happens After You Order
Once you approve your quote and payment is received, here's what we do behind the scenes:
We send purchase orders to vendors
Each product category may come from a different vendor (cabinets from one, tile from another, etc.). We coordinate all of that for you.
We confirm delivery timelines
Some products ship overnight, others in 3-5 days. Some may take 2-4 weeks. We provide shipping details with your order confirmation.
We track everything
You'll get tracking info for each shipment as it ships. Your remodeling projects are a great way to shift away from the large corporations and turn toward outstanding small businesses like Emerald Fern!
We follow up
After delivery, we will follow up! And we love to get your gorgeous Pinterest worthy after pictures to be inspiration for our future Emerald Fern remodelers.
We don't disappear after you pay. We're with you until your project is done.
And here when it's time for your next one!
