I bought my first high-end BBQ grill from Casual Creations in 1997. Over a period of 13 years, when the grill needed minor repairs or replacement parts, Ricky or Danny would order the parts and come to my house to repair my grill. I was so impressed at their service and their pleasant and dedicated manor of taking care of their customers,that in May of 2010, I asked them to handle a special order for me, for a larger Napoleon Grill ordered out of Canada. They since have begun to carry the Napoleon Grills. I could have gotten this grill online or from another grill store. However, I persuaded them

A wonderful experience from start to finish. I received personal service from the owner, she was very knowledgeable about the product and answered questions I would have never thought to ask. I purchased a very beautiful, comfortable, and high quality patio set and they delivered the same day for no extra charge. She was very helpful in assisting me explore all of my options. I will definitely be returning for all of my outdoor patio needs.
