> "Absolutely wonderful to work with! Offered effective solutions for our repair. Very trustworthy and polite, did not try to sell us on anything we didn't need. Affordable pricing."
> Source: Patricia Damen - RM Magazine (5.0, via HomeStars)

> Source: Nicole (5.0, via HomeStars)

> "We highly recommend Black Forest Woodworking. Istvan and his team are extremely good in all respects. Fair pricing, beautiful craftsmanship, and great attention to detail. They worked with us on the design of our custom cabinetry and offered great suggestions that we adopted. They explained the material and hardware they were using, why they recommend it, and made us feel confident in our decisions. Installation was completed in one day - and the place was cleaned very well after the job was completed. We needed one minor adjustment to the cabinets (that I forgot to request the day of the installation) which was accommodated very graciously on a subsequent day and at no additional cost. It's been a few weeks now and every time we glance over at these cabinets they fill us with pride. Thank you! And we highly recommend Black Forest Woodworking!"

## Before you hire a general contractor
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
