Black Forest Woodworking

Recently engaged Steven to build and install custom shelving/cabinetry in our living room, involving a fireplace mantle, various door styles and accommodations for a flatscreen TV. The installation and the end product were perfect.

We have recently hired Steven to built a window bench (in our kitchen) as well as a fireplace mantel (with build in bookcases) in our rec-room (basement).

Steve did an outstanding job. He was meticulous, punctual, and neat. I was very impressed with his systematic approach to the design. He made suggestions with respect to both the design and finish and he delivered excellent results. I recommend him without any reservation and I plan to use Black Forest woodworking in my next project.

Steven was highly rated on this website. He was very professional and gave us a competitive quote. He had many options and an eye for detail. He completed the work very quickly and efficiently, and the result was beautiful. I would definitely use his services again.

I had two corner fireplace mantels built and Steven and his crew did a FANTASTIC job on both - they've totally changed the look of the fireplaces. There was intricate work required on one of the mantels due to is proximity to the window and trim and the outcome is outstanding. I would highly recommed Black Forest Woodworking.

I found Steven Fekete, of Black Forest Woodworking, to be very professional, efficient and knowledgeable. He is definitely a master craftsman -- meticulous, neat and on time. I am 100% satisfied with the end product, and am pleased to show it off to everyone who visits. When it came to installation, Steven and his team were careful to keep the work space tidy and clean up before leaving. I will definitely keep Black Forest Woodworking on my list of professionals to "call again" when time for my next project. Thank you, Steven.

I found this company through Homestars and decided to go with it because of the good reviews and the pictures of work available on the company website. We were very happy with the experience of working with Steven. He was helpful throughout the process and made useful suggestions in relation to both the design and finish. He consulted with us as needed and brought both pictures and samples to assist us in our choices. his timelines were realistic and he completed the job in the time promised. We highly recommend this company and plan to use it again in the future.

Steven was referred to me by a friend who had hired Steven to build their living room custom cabinets (which I loved!). We've worked with multiple tradesmen for our fixer upper home and have often been disappointed by their service and quality of work. So, we were pleasantly surprised by the level of service and quality of work delivered by Steven. He's extremely friendly and was very helpful and responsive from the initial consultation to the final installation. We LOVE out new cabinets and the quality of Steven's work is fantastic. We found his prices to be very reasonable and were very pleased with how quickly he was able to deliver our cabinets while still maintaining the quality we were looking for. We would hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone who asks.

Steven did a great job of building a new fireplace mantle. His work is awesome. 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. Peggy

We had a flawless experience with this company from start to finish. Steven built our custom mantle and cabinets, which came out beautifully and perfect. He was very helpful with the entire process. We only had a vague idea what we wanted, and Steven helped us greatly in deciding what we want. He has excellent design skills and ideas as well, and is knowledgeable about the various design styles (e.g., traditional, transitional, modern, contemporary). He consulted with us as needed so we could figure out exactly what we wanted. He was very efficient with this, since he came to us with many examples on his ipad, and samples in his vehicle. This helped us immensely in specifying what we wanted, without stress and headache. Our experience with some other contractors is that they would either say to send them a picture of what we want since they "can do anything", or showed us ALL the possibilities, without any guidance. Steven was also very realistic with the timelines he presented, and completed the job in slightly less time than promised. Onsite, they were very considerate of our neighbours (who share our driveway) as well as my newborn who was often sleeping. They also draped the floor as needed, were very careful and respectful of our property, and cleaned up extremely well. We highly recommend this company and would use them again.

I must say the customer service and expert advice I received from Istvan was above and beyond.
He guided me through the design process for the vision I had, and executed it with great detail and care.
I will definitely be using him in the New Year for my next project.
