Summerwood Products Reviews 

We love our Summerwood custom gazebo/home office/all-around hygge hut. My priority was a space with lots of windows so we picked the San Cristobal. It was very hard to settle on a choice -- I loved quite a few of them.
John Hickey talked us through the design. We valued his experience re walls & windows, sizes, etc. He sent pictures he'd take in the showroom to illustrate his answers to my questions since we were long distance clients.
We customized with a Carlisle asphalt-shingled roof to accommodate the California restrictions on cedar shingles. We adore the cedar everywhere else; it still smells delicious and looks gorgeous even after the rains in December.
We ran electrical to the shed so we could add lighting and a ceiling fan. We used a local contractor to pour the foundation and construct the building... we never considered this a DIY project even if our purchase was pre-assembled. The segments were large and beyond our skill level (zero) to construct.
Our contractor needed to call Summerwood several times through installation; their staff was available and responsive. Through all my dealings with the company, I feel they've honored their commitment to good
service.
I had no idea I would love the product this much. I use the "casita" as an office when I work from home (with the bonus that either the windows or the solid walls are a great zoom background since all the materials are strikingly beautiful). It's comfortable -- the 12X12 feels roomy -- enough space for a desk & office chair, two more comfortable chairs and a shelf unit, plus some indoor plants since the light is perfect.
I can't say enough about how our casita has enhanced the backyard and my enjoyment of it. We use the new space as a quiet reading nook, a stimulating spot for coffee, a perfect enclosure for quality conversation or a relaxing afternoon happy hour. It encourages creative hours spent working on projects and enjoying the birdsong, the wind in the trees, the dogs and the squirrels. I've read that this kind of nature bath is supposed to have positive effects on your health, but at the very least it has refreshed my world view in a wonderful way during the pandemic.
Thank-you, Summerwood.

Summerwood items deserve a special mention. Our family had a great time building the Bala Bunkie, which is a one-of-a-kind edifice. Summerwood's assistance during the build was properly managed and the process went smoothly from start to finish. Looking forward to Summerwood's next project!!!

It was an easy choice - there is no other custom cabin builder in the GTA with such a range of styles while remaining open to further accommodate customer requests for modifications. The order and design team were pleasant and highly capable. The installation team were friendly, professional and skilled craftsmen. The end result, a peerless delight! The one caveat is to order quickly as demand is high in the COVID era and we, like others, had to wait several months to see the vision realized - but it was worth the wait. Thank you Peter, Maria, Javier, Maya, Michelle, Ross, Ryan and Don!

Thank you to Summerwood and all of their employees for a wonderful experience from start to finish.

For many years, my partner and I wanted to create something special in our backyard to enjoy all year round. We received a referral from one of our contractors, who highly recommended Summerwood.

We visited their shop and created a detailed summary of what we were looking for. Out of all of the options, the 'Barside' totally met all of our needs. They were very accommodating to customize our "Barside" from the original plan. We chose the "pre-assembled" package and our shipment arrived on time. The delivery process was seamless. They even were kind enough to extend our delivery to coordinate with the completion of our landscaping in our rear yard.

We attempted to construct the 'Barside' on our own. Ray, in the engineering department, provided us with a lot of guidance and reassurance over the phone and through email. Over the weekend, a few of the other gentlemen in the shop were able to answer a few of our questions.

After a weekend of construction, we realized we may have bit off more than we could chew. We would highly, highly, highly recommend you allow the Summerwood team to build your project for you. We reached out to Maya and the team and they were amazing. They were able to price out the remainder completion and accommodate a schedule that worked great for us. Thank you to all of the contractors who visited our home. We did experience a few hiccups with our position of our concrete pad (an error on our part) and their team was able to make the necessary changes to rectify this concern.

Overall, our experience has been phenomenal. We would recommend Summerwood to anyone that wants to create a unique space in their backyard oasis!

We decided to purchase a modified Copper Creek Cabana to compliment our new outdoor living space and we couldn’t more pleased!

The cabana size is 14’ x 8’ and includes the enhanced siding package which features the maintenance-free Siparila and white Versatex trim. All doors and windows were upgraded with tempered glass given the proximity to the pool.

John was wonderful to work with and so helpful throughout the process. I had the opportunity to come to the showroom and he took the time to show me the different options for windows and doors, and a selection of siding and finishes to consider. This enabled my husband and I to create a sleek and modern cabana that not only compliments our pool and entertaining space but the design of our home.

We are so glad we decided to purchase the installation package. Roy, Summerwood’s installer, was a master at his trade - very friendly, meticulous in everything he did and got the job completed in a timely manner. The entire process from the ordering of the product to the installation was seamless and the quality is excellent!

Thrilled beyond words with the finished product and we have had so many compliments. Thank you Summerwood Products - ‘Life is definitely better by the Pool’.

A sincere shoutout to Summerwood products. Our family thoroughly enjoyed building this unique structure, the Bala Bunkie. From start to finish the process went smoothly and the help from Summerwood during the build was expertly handled. Looking forward to the next project from Summerwood!!!

If you're really passionate about construction like me, then you probably know that it's pretty difficult to find suitable for your needs materials. So, I also faced such an issues and didn't know what to do. I met about 5-6 stores and I couldn't find anything suitable for my needs actually. Then, I met summerwood products and realized that I was searching for materials quite unattentive. This store provided me with anything I needed and finally I bought some materials for my domestic construction and now I'm really happy. Don't be shy, apply to this store, I bet you will be satisfied enough with it.

Our experience with Summerwood was most satisfactory. This, despite the COVID turmoil and crisis management.
Maya, the control tower, did her very best. There were so many moving parts and uncontrollables that she had to manage for our installation. She was amazing!
Our “installers” were skilled professionals. Their attention to detail was impressive. Their communication skills were excellent. The work site was always neat, tidy and safe.
We would rate our experience and overall satisfaction with a 5⭐️

This year, we ordered a pool bar design from Summerwood. The end result is even better than we could of imagined - the beautiful cedar really pops against the dark blue walls and we absolutely love the bar windows. We set up a tv inside and have enjoyed watching it sitting at the bar. After many years of researching various companies, we are so very happy that we went with Summerwood. The quality is outstanding and we are so thrilled with our purchase!

We were thoroughly impressed with our experience in the planning and installation of our Summerwood Montcrest garage. In particular, John Hickey was very helpful, personable, responsive, and professional throughout the design process. The installation crew was also great to work with and the craftsmanship is top notch. We've had so many compliments so far. I would highly recommend a pre-fab structure as it was much easier than a custom build.

We completed our pre-assembled Catalina garden shed and we think it looks pretty good. We are very happy with the end product.

As for as our overall experience with Summerwood is concerned, we were quite pleased:
• Throughout the whole process, everyone we dealt with was friendly, responsive, and helpful.
• After some discussion on the delivery date, the kit was delivered to us on time and without any problems.
• The assembly instructions were clear and comprehensive for the most part, and Summerwood staff promptly responded to any questions we had.
• The pre-assembled portion of the project went together flawlessly, and we installed the base, the five walls, and roof framing in two days, which we thought was pretty good.
• The roof itself proved to be more difficult and time consuming than we thought. However, once we got into the “swing of it”, we progressed at a reasonable pace.
• After the roof and shingling was completed, everything else (trim, windows, door) was easily installed with no issues.

We bought one of Summerwood's larger potting sheds back in 2006, 15 years ago. Love it - it's big enough for me to have my woodworking workshop at one end. After 15 years, some siding needed replacing. Maya at Summerwood was wonderful to work with - very professional and helpful, despite the fact that this was a rather small order. This is an excellent outfit with a fine product and staff that go out of their way.

Great experience with Summerwood Products. Very professional staff and great customer service throughout the whole process.

Final product was good quality and looks great!

The quality of the supplies and materials were excellent, the communication from the team for our delivery date and supporting us through the build was timely and helpful, and when there were a few hiccups along the way, the team there truly went above and beyond to help us out. We love our Verana Shed (we call it the Pool House) and are excited to finish the inside, and make it a true 3-season living space for our family.

From start to finish I cannot say enough of the positive experience we have had with Summerwood Products. Their support, and the beauty of the final product have been admired by family, friends and neighbours.

I purchased a Summerwood garden/pool shed in 1989. I absolutely love it! This year I had to replace a window box. I spoke with both Maya and John who were extremely helpful. John carried the window box out to my car, along with a variety of different sizes of screws and supports for all three window boxes - so that they would all match!! Thank you very much, Summerwood, for such a positive experience!

We are very pleased with the sales process, ongoing communication of our order and delivery details. The order arrived at our cottage on time and was constructed by a local contractor. Myself and the contractor were very complimentary on the quality of materials, instructions and ease of construction of the Bunkie. Would have no hesitation in using Summerwood for another project and have already talked to neighbours and friends about the quality of the Summerwood units. We look forward to many years of enjoyment of our Summerwood Bunkie!

Thanks to Summerwood for providing an awesome product and detailed guidance in building a great outdoor space. We opted for the precut, 11ft Monterey gazebo with a screen kit, and then added our own asphalt shingles. With limited building experience my wife and I were able to assemble a gorgeous addition to our property. Whenever we had questions, the staff at Summerwood provided key answers and suggestions that were significant in ensuring a great look. Some of these suggestions could be added to the installation guides (e.g., using 7/16 inch OSB sheathing over the cedar roof boards to prevent roof nails from penetrating thru the ceiling). We stained assembled sections as we went and found that more manageable than staining individual pieces or the whole assembled building.
Key tool suggestions: Trigger clamps and an impact driver!
