Black Forest Woodworking

We'd been working on a renovation project to a small living room that grew in scope, as these things do, and ended up requiring a new fireplace with a floor to ceiling mantle, dry bar, and built-in cabinets. While I have a stable of tradesmen for most things, I definitely didn't know anyone who could pull off the level of detail and finish required for this room.

The interior designer wanted a granite surround around the fireplace and a granite counter-top for the dry bar so the custom adjoining cabinets and mantle had to be of high quality seeing as I was going to spend that kind of money on the stone.

Knowing no-one who could make the cabinets I was referred to Black Forest Woodworking and its owner Istvan (Steve) who's shop was not far away in Mississauga. Steve worked with our designer from the initial sketches and produced a quote the next day. Steve gave us options on wood and finish that would affect the price but even the most expensive wood and finish was within our original budget and after a couple of meetings my wife and I felt it was a good fit and we hired Black Forest.

The finished product was absolutely fabulous, beyond my expectations, and was finished on-time. It is now the show-piece in our home.

I would, without reservation, recommend Black Forest for any cabinetry or fine woodworking projects. Excellent work, excellent value too. The owner, Steve, is very nice. He even brought me goulash for lunch once.
