Black Forest Woodworking

Working with Istvan was such a treat and we would highly recommend him and his company for any custom cabinetry and shelving projects. We were so happy with the transformation he did to our fireplace area and have been getting compliments on it from guests that have come over.

Istvan is very polite, trustworthy and pays attention to detail. This job was done in one day and the area was left very clean upon completion. Highly recommend!

Istvan listened to our ideas and was able to turn a small space into a functional closet. He built a large cabinet that included shelving, closet for hanging clothes, and drawers to replace a dresser. It looks beautiful and is way more functional than what we had before!

So pleased with the overall experience with Black Forest Woodworking. We had a new mantel and marble installed by Istvan - and he was amazing from start to finish. He was super communicative and professional and even gave me some tips on how to clean my fireplace so it could look brand new again. The mantle is AMAZING - the detail and modern look really elevate the look and exceeds my expectations. I will be using them again in the future for custom shelving. Thank you so much Istvan!!

Istvans talents and skills in creating custom cabinetry are nothing short of remarkable. His dedication to his craft is evident in the meticulous detail, the immaculate finish, and the thoughtful design. Its honestly the best quality work weve ever seen.

Istvan is an artist in the truest sense and a seasoned craftsman who takes great pride in his work. We highly recommend him for any cabinetry needs.

We were looking to have built-ins and an electric fireplace added to the living room. Istvan was very personable and his passion for woodworking was very clear. He had great suggestions for the design and style. His work was fantastic, completely changing and improving the look of our living room. We strongly recommend Black Forest Woodworking!

I had contacted a few contractors and I found Istvan the best to work with. He was very personable, trusting, reliable, with affordable pricing, and his suggestions greatly enhanced my initial design. The final product was classy, timeless, and beautifully finished.

I strongly recommend Black Forest Woodworking!

I was looking for someone to redo cabinets in my master ensute and this is how I found this company. Istvan did excellent work from start to finish. He created very clear drawings , suggested on design and delivered superb product and service. I will definitely reach out to him again for future projects

We have recently moved to the Toronto area. We were looking to have built-ins in the living room, beside the fireplace. Istvan had great suggestions for the style of the built-ins (cabinet and drawers) and redoing the fireplace to match. He recommended lighting for the shelves and I glad that I listened because it looks fantastic. The project was completed within the timelines that were communicated. Overall, it was a great experience and I have no reservations to recommend Black Forest Woodworking for a project.

We highly recommend BlackForest Woodworking! We would give them 11/10 if we could.

Initially, we met with multiple companies for estimates and not only was BlackForest the most affordable but Istvan (who also goes by Steven) had such a friendly personality and passion for woodworking that it made him the clear choice for us. Once the project got underway he made great suggestions and was honest with us about our choices, all to ensure the best outcome and that we got exactly what we wanted.

In my experience with most tradespeople, they would only speak directly to my husband, even when I'm the one asking the questions. Istvan treated us both equally and our conversations made it feel like we had known him for some time!

We are so happy with the final product and highly recommend this company.

Steven designed and built an entertainment unit/fireplace for me in a 100+ year old home. It really makes the room more polished and made the space much more finished/useable for my family and guests. He is generous with good ideas and has great attention to detail. He is also just good to work with - I have a baby at home and he was always respectful about noise/mess. Would strongly recommend him and his company.
