Black Forest Woodworking

We contacted Steven at Black Forest Woodworking to build and install a custome wall unit for our family room. Steven and his crew did an outstanding job. The entire process from our initial meeting to final installation was smooth and painless. The quality of the construction, workmanship and attention to detail of the final product was exceptional. In addition, Steven was very easy to deal with providing regular updates and providing accurate timelines for completion of the project. We would recommend Black Forest Woodworking without hesitation and will contact them for any future cabinetry/woodworking projects.

Isvtan recently installed a large built-in unit in our basement. From the beginning of the project to the very end, he demonstrated a commitment to quality and a level of professionalism that exceeded our expectations. He was competitively priced, honest and reliable. He had a high attention to detail, and took his time to make sure we were happy with the final product. Isvtan is passionate about his craft and a pleasure to work with. We would work with him on any future projects and would recommend him to our family and friends without any hesitation.

Our experience with Blackforest Woodworking was such a wonderful one. Istavan ( Steven) was so personal and professional from the first time we met him and his work shows true quality and craftsmanship. THe build - in cabinets are the most beautiful part of our living room and the detailed work catches everyone's eye that walks into our house. We were so impressed with the level of customer service we received and the quality of work we hired him again to do a bar in our dining room that we are looking forward to having in a few weeks.

Very professional workmanship and service - job was done on budget and in time frame agreed upon. Steven is very helpful and a pleasure to work with. Steven takes pride in his work which can be seen with his attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Steven worked on 2 projects for me and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. His attention to detail coupled with his creative flare resulted in 2 centre pieces that are often the topic of the conversation when friends and family visit my home.
Steven's craftsmanship left me very pleased but more importantly, from the moment he came to my home to work on a quote to the final delivery of the project, Steven was prompt, courteous and a pleasure to deal with.
I would not hesitate to recommend Black Forest Woodworking to all.
Well done Steven!

From our very first meeting with Steve to the final installation, we have found him to be extremely professional and corteous. He really listened to our requirements, provided his advice and produced a final product that exceeded our expectations. While watching him work, you can sense the pride of ownership he takes with his project. The final product is functional yet a beautiful piece of art. It really does complete our family room and we are very pleased. Once again, thank you Steve!

Fantastic quality work done very efficiently. Great range design ideas and flexibility. Very professional and reliable service, on time and as planned. Will definitely work with them again and have no hesitations in recommending.

We priced out stone mantles and even faux stone mantles and found the prices and look a bit over the top---too heavy and traditional. We have a modern, open concept home and wanted something modern/ traditional but we needed it to look like it was meant to be there. We wanted something clean and bright to hi-light our living room. Steve had a tough job as there was a black marble facing around the fireplace that had to be worked in.His measurements had to be very precise as he was cutting around baseboard and fitting in the marble which extended onto the floor. His solution is just so stunning, clean, bright and perfect. We got a whilte fireplace mantle with decorative pillars and an elegant carving in the middle. Steve and his colleague arrived on time, laid drop clothes, was polite, kind and tidy....a true 'star'. We are absolutely thrilled with our mantle and cannot wait to put photos of our family and mementos on top. This company is the way to go for fireplace mantles.

We hired Istvan right off of Homestars after reading so many positive reviews. We were not disappointed; he was extremely meticulous in his planning of our cabinet and never made a move without our approval. The end result is a gorgeous, incredibly functional piece that everyone comments on the second they come into our living room. Istvan is very personable and has a commendable work ethic that is not easy to find. We will definitely be hiring Istvan again to work on some future projects - can't wait to see what he creates next time!

After a long search, I decided on using Black Forest Woodworking for my custom wallunits and fireplace. I live in an older home, so it was very important that the new built-in units and mantle match the existing floor and trim. Istvan was very professional throughout the entire process. He kept us informed of how things were progressing, provided various samples, and was even able match the wood colour we wanted. The quality of the unit is amazing and it has transformed our living room.
We would not hesitate to use Black Forest Woodworking again in the future.
