Kind Words From Happy Customers

“I had always wanted to have my own greenhouse, and we found Charley’s to be both affordable and beautiful. We ordered and built the 8 X 12 with a Dutch door, and plan to start flowers for our business, Barnswallow Farm, and vegetables for ourselves and to donate to our Food Bank. We found the instructions incredibly useful, and the folks at Charley’s helped us out when we had questions about assembly. We are so happy with our new greenhouse!”

“Our greenhouse has been a delight, with our first “over-wintering” of our most favorite plants this year. We next have plans for vegetable garden starts and year-round herbs in the next few weeks. Having a warm, bright place brings joy even on the shortest and coldest days. With the temporary addition of a small, safe space heater giving a boost to the greenhouse’s main heater, we successfully persevered through the recent 14-degree cold spell without losing a single plant. We’re eager for Spring 2024 as we utilize the greenhouse and raised vegetable beds, both of which celebrate their first full year in May, for ample growing! We are grateful for your guidance and recommendations.”

“I recently called and placed an order with you all, through Erleen. What a treat! We had to recognize her! Very professional. Personable. Accommodating. Helpful. Friendly. Sweet. Gosh, thank you for making ‘this deal’ so easy and pleasant! You’re a gift! Thank you Charley’s as well. We look forward to doing MORE business with you all in the future!”

“I just ordered and received replacement tubes for my Bayliss vent openers. They are just what I needed. But I apparently have an unusual installation, so one of your customer service reps looked at my previous orders then called me to make sure I was ordering the right thing. I think that is pretty amazing! With all the craziness going on in the world you guys called to make sure I wasn’t ordering the wrong parts. That is above and beyond! I used to work in the auto industry, and they aimed to ‘surprise and delight’ their customers. You achieved that and more. Thank you!”
