Steven and his team are amazing!
I found his info from HomeStars reviews, and viewed the website gallery.
From the moment we talked over the phone, Steven understood our needs and timeline. His estimate was the best around. The attention to detail from the beginning was outstanding. We showed him an online picture of the mantle we liked and he confirmed measurements on site. We showed him the crown molding and baseboard trim we were going to install and he incorporated them into the mantle. We did not have the gas insert installed nor the tiling done on the surround. He gave us the exact dimensions for the cement board and recommended that we have the surround tiled and insert installed before installing the mantle. His advice to have the tiles done first saved us big $$ on the tiling since they didn't need to cut as much tile to fill in an already defined space. Also, there would be no damage to the mantle from grouting. Steven was on schedule with production (5 weeks) and installation. Installation took ~3.5 hours. A lot of work was done to make it fit perfectly since the walls in our 100 year old home are not true. We also had existing baseboards that they were able to merge with the base on the mantle to look like they were done at the same time. Our living room was as clean after as it was before they started. I would highly recommend Steven and his Black Forest team for any woodworking project. We have already started the plans for 2 more projects!

Thank you Neemez for your review. Happy to hear that the you are pleased with the mantle. True that older homes pose some challenges as walls are not always straight but we have worked in such homes before, mine included and work towards achieving great results. Glad to hear that we met your expectations and thank you for recommending us.
