About Greenforest Fireplace & Patio – A Veteran & Family-Owned Legacy in Chicago
Welcome to Greenforest Fireplace & Patio Co
From Our Family to Yours – Chicago’s Only Veteran & Family-Run Fireplace Showroom
A trusted name in Chicago fireplaces since 1984. We are proud to be the only military and family-operated brick-and-mortar fireplace showroom in the city. Nestled in the vibrant Avondale neighborhood, our store has been warming homes and hearts for over four decades.
Our business is built on the same discipline, integrity, and dedication that founder Reynaldo Quesada cultivated during his service in the United States Marine Corps (USMC). When you step into our showroom, you’re not just another customer—you’re part of the Greenforest family.
We’ve designed our showroom as an interactive hub, where expertise meets personalized service. Here, you can explore, learn, and envision the perfect fireplace or outdoor living solution for your space with the help of our seasoned team.

Meet Reynaldo – Founder & Chief Warmth Officer
At the heart of Greenforest Fireplace is Reynaldo Quesada, our founder and “Chief Warmth Officer.”
A Journey of Service and Skill
After completing his service in the Marine Corps in Washington, D.C., Reynaldo returned to Chicago in 1983, starting his career as a fireplace installer and service technician at All types Fireplace. For 25 years, he honed his skills, built relationships, and became a trusted expert in the field.
In September 2008, Reynaldo made a bold move—purchasing the very company where he spent a quarter-century mastering his craft. This marked the birth of Greenforest Fireplace, turning his years of dedication into a family legacy.
Beyond the Showroom
When Reynaldo isn’t helping Chicago homeowners, you’ll likely find him casting a line at his favorite fishing spot, cruising on his boat, or cooking with his cast iron skillets. His passion for hands-on projects reflects the same personal touch he brings to every customer experience.
A fireplace isn’t just functional—it’s the heart of your home. Our team specializes in designing fireplaces that reflect your style and enhance your space.
A Family Legacy
Greenforest isn’t just a business—it’s a family tradition. All five of Reynaldo’s children are actively involved, carrying forward their father’s commitment to craftsmanship and customer care. Together, they’ve grown Greenforest into a trusted name in fireplace design, installation, and service throughout Chicagoland.
