Green Building Supply Showroom

We ordered ~250 ft² of the Silver Birch Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc and could not have had a better experience with the ordering, shipping, receiving and installing processes. The folks at Green Building Supply were fantastic. I ordered 6 or 7 samples and they were shipped very quickly. Once we knew what we wanted, we placed the order and received a refund for the samples. All this was done online. Green Building Supply provided excellent communication throughout the ordering and shipping process. We were prompted to call the local shipping company Green Building uses and we setup a delivery date. It was delivered right on time and in pristine condition. The product is amazing. It is extremely easy to install, other than a jigsaw and the occasional tap with a rubber mallet, that's pretty much all I needed. The seams are hardly visible in artificial lighting. When the sun is shining on it they are sort of noticeable but considering we had carpeting from the '70s in our kitchen it's an enormous improvement. The best part is knowing that there are little to no VOCs especially with a little one running around and a baby on the way. Thank you to Green Building Supply, keep up the great work!

17 years later, the products and home supplies (flooring, doorhandles, paint, and much more ) that we bought from Green Building Supply are still going strong!
High quality and priced fair!

Fantastic resource for those trying to build "green" and avoid harmful VOC's!

Building our Passive House --- air tight, high levels of insulation, and managing IAQ --- meant seeking out building products that were both durable and environmentally friendly. Something that's still not easy to do close to home in local stores here in the Chicago suburbs.

We used their M-1 sealant (black, white, and clear) for areas on our charred cedar siding as well as the interior of our home for wood trim and around bath fixtures.

We also used several Safecoat products, including their Acrylacq in black for our kitchen cabinets, as well as their Concrete Paint for a "splatter" technique finish on our basement floor.

I also used the Safecoat paint for my steel beam in the basement to great effect. In fact, my one regret is not using the Safecoat series of paints for all of my interior painting needs. Instead, I used Benjamin Moore's pricey Aura line and was mostly disappointed in the lack of quality.

If I was building again, I would definitely use their website even more. Can't recommend them enough! Keep up the great work!

We finished our kitchen remodeling in June. The flooring and cabinets were purchased from Green building supply. We couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you to a great team at Green building supply!

Awesome seller. Best price and free shipping. No tax. Can’t believe what a fantastic experience. Will add photos of this incredible product when finished.

They have a great selection of non-toxic, quart stains and water sealants, exactly what I was looking for for my squirrel house project. I received a shipping notice the same day and it was delivered 2 days later, much faster than expected. The can was closed well, with additional metal clips, and wrapped well inside a plastic bag. I'd definitely recommend ordering from them if you are in the market for eco friendly products.

The most friendly and helpful people! The prices are great and the flooring is absolutely gorgeous! The girl I spoke with (a few times actually), even delayed the delivery of my order so that it would arrive a day or two before the contractor needed it. I ordered a bunch of samples and they promptly refunded me when I returned them. I will definitely be ordering from them again.

Wonderful experience! Ordered online, but when I had a few questions about shipping. I was always able to talk to someone, and they were super quick to respond to my email. The product is great looking, very quality, and I'm so happy they could provide me non-toxic flooring!

Online order was pretty much what I ordered. Good products, good price, could be faster on delivery.

Edit: I should say that the Owner does have overnight shipping, I wasn't in a hurry to get the shipment so it wasn't a huge deal. I think Amazon just has me spoiled on free super fast delivery.

over the top customer service and support!Joel gave me all the information, very detailed so I could successfully put together an order and the next day Cynthia walked me through finding colors of products, writing my order entering it in the card and stayed with me while i made two orders. Having her there made me feel comfortable with using a new system. The companies range of green products is fantastic and with customer services so amazing I am happy to have found Green Building Supply and no doubt will order items often. Thank yp for being there!!!

I received my order of Blissfully Clean last night- really fast shipping! I've tried it on a few things- bathtub, hard water marks on pots and pans, and it works really well. Looking forward to trying it on my silver earrings- have been looking for non-toxic silver polish for a long time! I bought 2 others to give for gifts. Thank you!

I received the hard oil three days after I ordered it. Super fast delivery. It was cleanly packaged also. I have used hard oil ad herb oil in the past as well as clay paints and pigments.. I love love love these product and this company

I wish I could remember the young woman who helped me with my order. I made a mistake on my online order in quantity and would have had a ton of goods shipped to my door had it not been for her quickly finding my order, making the necessary change, all the while with a reassuring smile in her voice. Her customer service was just the best. On top of that, what I was expecting to be a week to two week processing and delivery, turned out my order was shipped out within two days! And it will come straight to my door. Awesome! Thank you, my experience has been the best!

I only ordered some sample cork tiles, but the processing and shipping of the order was incredibly fast. The samples, what can I say, very well constructed, the color matched the picture on the website. I can only imagine my finished space. Well done to Green Building Supply, for the excellent products and service.

Very knowledgeable female service person, answered my many questions. Product arrived when I was told it would, have not had a chance to use it yet- the sample I had ordered was fine.
A previous order of of 4 tubes of caulk was good except for the one that was too dry and hard to squeeze out of the tube.

Joel Hirshberg (the head of GBS) is a real gem! Consummate professional, very detail-oriented, willing to go above and beyond to communicate with you on the phone, earn trust, and compete on price.

Very pleasant experiences on their site. Ordered samples and those came quickly, nice to get a sense of what's on offer. After waffling between 2 choices, Joel called me up on a Saturday and talked me through a bunch of considerations for a good 40+ minutes. Eventually decided on one, and when I called in to do the order by phone, Joel helped me out there too!

Enthusiastically satisfied customer, I feel I'm in great hands for shipping, install, and long-haul care. Hope I get to use GBS again soon!

These guys were so great to work with; they were responsive, friendly, and answered all my questions. I ordered enough sheet Marmoleum to do my kitchen and dining room and I love the product.

I used one main color, but ordered a small amount of another color for accent. When they packed up the accent color, they just sent me the end of the roll, which gave me enough extra to make my kitchen counter tops!

Excellent experience, the team at GBS contacted me to let me know about delays with the order being shipped less than an hour after I placed the order. The order arrived in great condition, and the floor looks beautiful! happy to know that I've installed some flooring that will not pollute the indoor air!

Green Building Supply is a gem in the heartland. My transactions were over the phone and it couldn't have been easier. Julie was a great help to figure out viable samples for flooring with my kitchen remodel. After making my final choice, ordering was a snap and the shipment came in only 5 days! I can't wait to install and I highly recommend Green Building Supply for eco-product resources.

Although I only ordered an adhesive from Green Building, I was ecstatic with the product. Being one of those people who is very sensitive to chemicals and chemical fumes, this adhesive was just what I wanted! It had almost no odor at all and I applied it to tile in the dead of winter with only a small crack in a window. The service is fast and efficient; I will definitely do business with Green again!
