The fireplace system we had installed works fine, although wildly overpriced (as is the case most places) with a remote that looks like a cell phone from the 80s. The service people were great, but the office behaves markedly as if they are doing you a massive favor to give you their service... for which you are paying through the nose! Nothing unprofessional or anything, just overwhelmingly unaccommodating in terms of being reached via phone, clarity of communication, and all scheduling issues. For example (one of many), for days and days I could not reach a human to better understand what would be happening on installation day, and then when I finally got through they acted annoyed and confused why I would want any information about how the installation process would happen (am I waiting for a phone call or a knock on the door, will I have any advanced notice before they arrive, etc.). I didn’t feel ripped off or anything (at least not in the context of post-COVID home improvement markets), just vaguely disrespected.

Les worked on our Napoleon gas fireplace and did an awesome job. Fixed the problem in the 1/2 hour time frame. He was informative ,friendly, and knowledgeable. The $149 for a 1/2 hour worth of work seemed a little steep. Thank goodness Les knew what to do and did it quicklyThanx Les👍🏻👏🏻

VanderWall Brothers has a vast supply of stone products to enhance the exterior of homes. But also, they have a great fire pit product which is sustainable in Michigan winters. Their staff is very friendly too.

Vanderwall Brothers installed a fireplace for us today and we are extremely happy we chose them! From our initial fact-finding visit (where Dan was extremely knowledgeable) and several phone calls and emails afterward that he promptly answered, we were confident that they had the knowledge and expertise to ensure we were happy in the end. Sam, Nate and Andrew were here today for the initial installation and they were fantastic! They worked together as a team and willingly redid the platform after we decided we wanted it a bit lower than what we had initially communicated. Every aspect of this process was seamless thanks to the group of employees we worked with; they certainly represent Vanderwall well and we highly recommend them!

We highly recommend VanderWall Brothers!! They are very knowledgeable and professional. Sam was our first contact in their beautiful showroom, and did an excellent job answering our questions, knowing his product extremely well. Dan is an excellent communicator via email and handles invoicing and scheduling very professionally and promptly, with very good and honest pricing. Les is stellar, another excellent communicator, and very professional and knowledgeable in measuring to determine the exact model needed for our home. Sam is superb - he and Andrew did a top notch job installing two fireplaces for us. We just can’t say enough about the entire team - they are AWESOME!! We visited 3 other fireplace stores in the west Michigan area and are so glad we chose VanderWall Brothers. The Chaska fireplaces look beautiful and we will enjoy them and their heat for many years to come!!

Very pleased with their knowledge of the industry. I recently purchased a home with a gas fireplace that wouldn’t light. I called late in the evening, left a message and early the next day Scott(?)returned my call and walked me through how to o-erase the fireplace, all at no charge. He could have easily sent a service technician and charged a fee. I appreciate their honesty and integrity

Scott and Dan were great to work with. They made it easy and I felt affordable within my budget. Les the installer was great. Took the extra time to replace the gas line as it was not up to current code. I love the new look and it is a definite upgrade! Great job!

Due to COVID, a little slow out of the blocks, but once the installation team got on it, couldn’t have been a better experience. Very respectful crew. Quiet, knowledgeable, and efficient. Les, Sam and Andrew were the A team!

Les and Mark just completed a gas log Napoleon fire place insert at our home today. Excellent job. They also completed some preplanned customization and the results look great. They let us know what they were going to do and then completed the work efficiently. Could not be more pleased.Linda and Dale Masbruch

We recently had a gas log insert installed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From Dan in the showroom helping us figure out what we wanted, to the professional installation that Les did. If you’re in the market for a gas log insert, I strongly recommend you check them out!

Just had Sam and Andrew install a Green Mountain woodstove in our house. They were polite, professional, precise and did an excellent job (in inclement weather). They deserve a raise!Dan at the shop provided us with great service and we would recommend VanderWall every time! Thanks guys!

VanderWall Bros earned my top rating and a I will give a positive reference to friends and strangers alike! The showroom is a big beautiful experience, so Covid distancing is easy to do. Dan communicated clearly and consistently about scheduling and Les did a masterful job on our indoor gas log fireplace installation. When it's time for an outdoor fire pit we know we'll call VanderWall Bros!

I left a bad review a while back. I was wrong. I get angry to easy. This company has gone out of their way to make us comfortable with our purchase. I am sorry.

I called VanderWall to get a quote on a wood burning insert to compare to other quotes I had received. Their quote was comparable (and even a bit below on installation and liner fees) but what stood out the most was their degree of professionalism and honesty. I had told them a specific model of insert we were looking at and the price I had found it for (on clearance at another store) and they gave me their input on the quality of that item and suggested that we would be getting a great deal if we purchased. They also gave me the makes and models of some other quality inserts to look and and consider for when we decide to also do our basement fireplace. It is rare to find a company that truly puts the customers best interest ahead of business gain! We will definitely be reaching back out to VanderWall's for our next project!!

We highly recommend VanderWall Brothers for a fireplace upgrade. We have a 90 year old house and our new gas log installation fits perfectly with the look of our fireplace. Dan was great answering our questions, as well as a seamless install by Les, we couldn't have been happier with the process. We appreciated the selection of the different logs they had in the showroom to help us get the right look.Our fireplace is going to be used a lot more now 🙂 Thanks so much for everything.

We had Vanderwall Bros install a Cozy Heat fireplace about 3.5 years ago, great unit heats our entire basement in no time, had a small issue yesterday, called them and within 20 minutes Les called me back. After explaining the issue he told me he would be right over as he was going back to the shop, stopped in spent 30 mins even going on my roof to check the vent, fixed our problem, asked how much I owe, told me no charge, NOW THAT’S SERVICE, you would be foolish not to check out Vanderwall if looking for a fireplace.
