Black Forest Woodworking

Steve at Black Forest Woodworking had great ideas for a custom fireplace mantle we wanted for our master bedroom. What he delivered was exceptional - great quality of wood, beautiful rich staining and a clever hidden drop down storage door for our Blu Ray player. Steve came and cheerfully installed the unit professionally and cleaned up perfectly. We recommend Black Forest Woodwarking as an A+ firm.

Steven's customer service was fabulous. We knew we wanted a wood mantel but I didn't know what design. When he came in, he looked at where we wanted to have it installed and designed a beautiful mantel for us. We were extremely happy with the way it turned out and he had it installed by the date we agreed on.

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.

Steve of Black Forest Woodworking created a custom fireplace mantel with a book shelfing wall unit that was a very beautiful piece. We tried many contractors for this and none of them were right for us, Steve was the only one that knew what we wanted. Steve did a great job and I recommend him to anyone that needs a contractor.

We wanted a major piece of furniture in our basement (shelving, TV, fireplace, pantry, etc). Steve was very helpful with the design, produced a piece of the highest quality and delivered it on time for a reasonable price. Overall our best experience by far with a contractor in our new house.

Black Forest, built three pieces for us. First was a custom cabinet to house our TV, stereo equipement combined with a fireplace mantel. It is truly beautiful and looks amazaing in our basement. The second project were two custom dining room cabinets. The entire project was flawless from napkin design to final placement in the dining room.

I strongly recommend Black Forest for all your custom cabinets, bathroom vanities, fireplace mantel ... etc.

Steve from Black Forest Woodwork made a beautiful cappacino coloured maple cabinet for my guest bathroom. The drawers are well made and slide very well. The cabinet is a focal point in the room and I am very happy with Steve's dedication to his craft and perfection. The cabinet has been admired by many people. A picture is enclosed.

The job started well - Steven arrived when he said he would, he established what the job was, reviewed the situation (determined where the wiring was, how the nearby doors opened, what if any special requests for design there were) and developed a design with schematic/drawings. Discussed and helped with knowledgeable comments re: materials (wood type, finishings etc.), size of cupboards, number of drawers, doors etc. Set a time to meet again with samples and materials - arrived on time and finalized the plan. Set an agreed due date, which he met. Came and installed the designed piece - it fit perfectly first time. He then finished the instalation having added touches that I had not thought of such as a felt stopper for the door that openned near the cabinets. At the end of the project, without being asked he did a complete clean up on site. The final result was stupendous! I have had no problems and no follow up issues. I have had many compliments on the work and workmanship. I would not hesitate to recommend this contractor and his excellent work.

Steve Fekete of Black Forest is a craftsman that pays attention to detail. Extremely skilled and old school craftmanship for a young personable,honest and very cool contractor. Use this gentleman and you will be extremely happy with the results as well as your resale value. Thanks again Steve.

Steve helped us to remodel our family room. What started out as a cold and conventional room ended up being a warm and contemporary haven for our family. The mantel that he built and installed serves as a show piece in our home. Many of our guests and family have complimented his fine work! I have highly recommended him for several jobs. A true craftsman!
