Saley's Custom Woodworking

Sean built us a great bookcase for our office which required different dimensions than what you can get at any store. He listened well to our needs and desires and helped to design a great bookcase. He was very professional and quick on the build and delivery. We will definitely be using him again for a few other projects that we have in mind.

We recently downsized to a condo in Ottawa. Having enjoyed two fireplaces in our previous home, we were interested in having a fireplace installed in our new condo. We had a fireplace insert but needed a fireplace cabinet built around the insert in a relatively small space. Our daughter gave us the name of a cabinet maker who had done very good work for her. His name is Sean Saley (613-838-9663) and ultimately, we retained him to do the job. Sean did an excellent job at a reasonable cost. I would strongly recommend this highly skilled craftsman to anyone interested in having custom cabinets built, especially when space is at a minimum.

Sean made custom built-in cabinets and a vanity in our bathrooms as well as custom shelving in a hallway. He listened well to our ideas and offered great advice so that the projects turned out really well. He meets his delivery commitments and is efficient and clean in his work. To top it off, Sean is a pleasure to work with. We will be calling him in the future and have no hesitation in recommending him. Catherine.

Most recently Sean Saley made two new bookcases for our condo apartment. A couple of years ago we had had Sean design and make for us a bookcase/filing cabinet and a large desk for my office. Now, as earlier, Sean was able to design the pieces according to our ideas and to fit the spaces available. Not only did he produce attractive furniture at exactly the cost and the delivery time that he promised but he came back as needed to help set the pieces up. When we recently moved from a big house into an apartment, he was willing to come and take apart for the move the bookcase and desk he had made earlier and then put them together after the move in the new place without any extra charge. He is always courteous and absolutely reliable. We are certainly happy to use his services and advice again.

I am in a condo with a small open-concept kitchen. I asked Sean for a pantry cabinet for more storage space. He finished it in less than two weeks, built it exactly as I had imagined, matched it perfectly with the existing cabinets, for a reasonable price exactly as estimated. It looks amazing. Sean was always easy to reach, friendly and helpful and even put up with keeping the large cabinet at his place for weeks until renovations were done at my condo and I could get it installed! One of the best experiences I have ever had with home renovations.

We have been renovating our home for close to 4 years now. Sean's work is flawless and guaranteed to Wow you. His attention to what the customer wants is awesome! We will be always calling on Sean for custom woodworking :)

Sean built us exactly what we wanted for a reasonable fee and delivered exactly when he said he would. We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend him

Sean Saley is great. He is fast and delivers what he promises. Love his design consult and the attention to detail. I highly recommend him for small or large projects.

Over the last 5 years Sean Saley has worked with me on several different projects of various scales. In 2009, Sean was referred to me when I completed a gutting and full renovation of my home. Sean completed all of the wainscotting through the house and the fireplace surround and mantle. The work was done on schedule and budget and the quality was excellent. Approximately two years later, Sean completed a full wall, floor to ceiling of dining room cabinetry which was exactly what I had pictured. In 2014 I had Sean build a full master bedroom furniture suite including full bed frame and headboard with underbed drawers, a cabinet and side tables. Again, the finished product was exactly what I had pictured in my mind, on budget and schedule. Sean is an excellent craftsman and I love all of the work that he has done for me over the years. Sean is professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone for either built in renovation work or stand alone pieces of furniture.

After going to a few bathroom stores and pricing some bathroom cabinetry I was referred to Sean by a decorator. Sean came over to our house and we bounced around some ideas about what we wanted in our bathroom cabinets. We decided to try using riff cut oak for our cabinets with a special stain. Even with the special cabinets and made to measure cabinets the cost was still less than it would have cost to buy off the rack cabinets from a bathroom store.
Sean even came over to the house before he started to show us the piece of wood that he would be using to make the cabinets and to make sure that we were happy with the wood and the stain.
When he came by with the finished cabinets we were overjoyed with the results. They looked better than we could have ever imagined and the stain was a perfect match for the bathroom. His installation was excellent as well. He was very fast and very clean.
