Black Forest Woodworking

Upon viewing the wall unit of a family member, we liked it so much that we contacted Black Forest Woodworking and were very pleased with Steven's suggestions and more importantly the final result. Everyone who sees it comments on how beautiful our wall unit is.

We chose Black Forest Woodworking after getting estimates from other cabinet companies. We liked the designs and felt very comfortable working with Steven. We knew what we wanted but needed the expertise to help pull the design together. Steven was very patient and helpful. When it came time for installation, the job was done in one day. They worked neatly and answered all questions I had. When it was done we were blown away how fantastic it looked. We really liked the quality and craftsmanship so much that we have contracted Steven to do another built in unit with fireplace mantel for our basement. No need to look any further, for quality and craftsmanship Black Forest Woodworking is our recommendation.

We hired this company to install built-in's. They know exactly what they are doing and have a good sense of what would suit the room.
The closets were just installed and they look amazing. The crew that came to install were efficient and friendly.
I wanted to cover a bigger area, but Steven's suggestion that a more compact set of cabinets would be enough, was in the end, the right call. They paid attention to detail and are classic craftsmen; it's difficult to find these days.

Steven built and installed shelving in our basement for TV components, books, and bar bottles. Dimensions approx 38" high by about 13 feet long along the end wall of our rec room. Let me say the quality is outstanding and the workmanship stellar. I am very picky but was thoroughly impressed by the fine detail, right down to the caulking. The shelf top was made from MDF wood, I think, but looks and feels like caesarstone! Would not hesitate to hire again to do work for the most prominent room in our house.

We've had a few hits and misses using HomeStars, but Steven and his team knocked it out of the park. Their attention to detail is top notch. They were able to construct the built-ins around our existing mantle with an end result which looks like it is a single unit. On top of that, they were completed weeks in advance of the timeframe discussed at our initial consultation. We could not be happier and would wholeheartedly recommend Steven and his team at Black Forest Woodworking and will definitely use them again in the future.

In April, Steven and his crew constructed a wall of open shelving in my sitting room. The unit was put up in just one day as it had been pre-built in his workshop from careful measurements he had taken earlier. Steven was courteous, friendly and a skillful craftsman. When I decided to move my sound system on to the unit, he obligingly returned a few days later to drill the necessary holes. Now, 5 months on, I continue to love the unit. Not only is it an attractive sturdy piece of furniture, but it holds an incredible array of items: all my books, plants, a mini-bar, numerous storage baskets, speakers, CDs......the list goes on. All in all a terrific organizer. Thank you, Steven!

It was a pleasure to deal with Steven. He designed and built a very large wall unit for us. He took very detailed measurements on his first visit, sent a design a day or so later and then arrived 6 weeks later with his crew to do the installation over 2 days. The wall unit is stunning and the quality of the workmanship is very high. His crew was professional and very clean. We have asked him to quote on a second unit for the basement. Steven sets a high standard for his work and is a pleasure to deal with.

Steven built and installed our fireplace surround/mantle today. Both my husband and I are thrilled with the finished product. It has completely transformed our existing fireplace.

The mantle was built and fitted in exactly the time frame we were given.

Great job, thanks again Steven.

Steven did a great job of building a new fireplace mantle for me an my mother. His work is fantastic. I had no idea what I wanted but he made an excellent recommendation. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and would certainly use them again. Thanks again for my beautiful mantle.

After many unsuccessful attempts at trying to simply get a quote from other cabinet / millwork providers, I gave up utilizing the traditional approach and found HomeStars. I found Steven's company BlackForest with excellent reviews and gave him a call. Steven not only answered the call, but promptly came out to see the project and give me a price. I showed him some pictures I found on-line about what I wanted and he tweaked those to conform to my space. He was upfront with me and told me that the work would take "X" amount of weeks as they were busy and promised it would all be done by end June - July. I awarded him the work, and cross my fingers. Steven kept me up to date of the work in progress during the build phase which I found nice as I knew exactly what was going on and stuck to the dates as promised. His team completed the work just yesterday, and it came out amazing.

I am sure Steven will post some pics of my bar soon and you will see the quality and workmanship yourself.

I highly recommend them - their quality and level of detail is excellent and most importantly they stick to their dates, keep you up dated and return phone calls. Simple old fashion business ethics - something that is really hard to find in this day and age.

Steven - congratulations on your success and I look forward in working with you again in the near future.
