Why Busato

A cabinet shop and a renovation company.

Busato Custom Woodworking is a unique company because we hold a custom kitchen company and a renovation company, so we can take care of all of your renovation needs under one contract.

Most renovations hand your cabinetry to one supplier and your room to another, then leave you to referee the gap between them. We mill the cabinetry in our own shop on Johnston Street and run the renovation with our own people, which means one point of contact, one schedule and one standard of finish.

  • Custom cabinetry built in our Guelph shop, not ordered out of a catalogue
  • 3D design perspectives so you can see the finished room before we start
  • Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, flooring, trim and doors on one contract
  • Accessible layouts and wheelchair access when the project calls for it
Talk To Us About Your Space
What We Build

One stop shop for the whole renovation.

Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, flooring, trim and doors. Whatever the room needs, it comes from one company with one crew and one schedule.

  1. Designed, milled and finished in our own Guelph shop, then installed by the same crew that built it.

  2. Large format tile, custom vanities, walk in showers and barrier free layouts when you need them.

  3. Full lower level builds with bars, wine walls and bathrooms, plus the framing and finishing in between.

  4. Hardwood, tile and custom patterns laid to carry through the whole main floor, not just one room.

  5. Walk in closets, wine walls, built in bedroom cabinetry and one off pieces straight off the shop floor.

  6. Casing, crown, panelled doors and the finish carpentry that decides whether a room reads custom.

In our clients’ own words.

Homeowners, designers and contractors who have worked with John and the crew, straight from our Google profile.

I can’t say enough good things about Busato Woodworking. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. John and Chris were the ones who handled the renovation of my kitchen and bathrooms, and they also installed my floors and stairs. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism were beyond impressive.

They took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life with precision and care. Every cut and finish, was done with purpose, and the quality of their work is evident. They were also a pleasure to have around, respectful, tidy, and always willing to answer questions or make thoughtful suggestions.

If you’re looking for a team that delivers exceptional work with integrity and pride, I highly recommend Busato Woodworking. John truly went above and beyond, and I’m so happy with the final results. My home looks beautiful.

Misty TsilimidosGoogle Review

John did a very extensive re do of our outdoor kitchen and our main indoor kitchen. He was detailed in his quote and we knew what to expect. His crew was on time, work went smoothly, issues dealt with promptly. We were very thrilled that the project ended on time and within the quoted estimate.

We needed this to happen like clockwork as my son was getting married and we needed this done by a specific time. We highly recommend John his price was fair and we got exactly, what we wanted. Thank you John and your team.

Mary Ann GillGoogle Review

I am grateful to partner on design projects with John. He is a clear and honest communicator, collaborative, fun and creative. His skill and care are like no other, and his pricing is fair. I love working with Busato Woodworking.

Kara CressmanGoogle Review

I’m a contractor and have used John on many projects. No matter what I throw at him he always comes through with flying colours. The quality of his work far surpasses his fair pricing

Jeff AllainGoogle Review

Our kitchen update exceeded our expectations! John described some limitations that may have been problematic but was able to successfully avoid them. The quote was accurate and he addressed all concerns throughout the process.

How It Runs

You see the room before we build it.

A renovation goes wrong in the planning, not the framing. We put the drawings, the measurements and the finishes in front of you first, then we build to them.

Three dimensional design perspective of a condo kitchen produced before the build starts

3D design perspectives, included.

Condo 3D design perspectives help with the finishing touches. Before a single cabinet is cut you will see the layout, the sightlines and the finishes rendered in three dimensions, so the decisions get made on screen instead of halfway through a demolition.

  • Layouts tested against how you actually use the room
  • Finishes, hardware and lighting agreed before ordering
  • One fixed scope, so the price stops moving
01

Consultation

We come to you, measure the space and talk through how the room gets used day to day.

02

3D Design

You see the finished room as a 3D perspective and sign off on the layout and finishes.

03

Shop Build

Your cabinetry is milled and finished in our own shop on Johnston Street in Guelph.
