Very unique custom build experience…

Very unique custom build experience planning, designing and ordering a backyard structure for office and storage uses. Summerwood provided high quality materials and aesthetically pleasing design options not available in my region. A great, fun solution for advanced DIY builders that simplifies the harder parts of construction with material acquisition and prep (all pre-cut materials and direct delivery), and assembly guidance (great instructions and customer support). I chose to go slowly and build everything myself, however, the process could have been very quick if I chose to work with a contractor.

Great product, excellent service

My first experience buying a Summerwood product was very satisfying and enjoyable - this time they managed to outdo themselves. Our cabin is very well built and beautiful and their staff has been very helpful and great to work with.

I absolutely recommend buying from Summerwood, you won't be disappointed.

Licensed Contractor/Remodeler

I’m retired. I was a general contractor home builder, and remodeler. This project was the most complete detailed and thorough I’ve ever seen and beyond my expectations. A few little glitches and adjustments here and there, but only to be expected on a project of such great detail. I highly recommend them and would buy another kit from them in a heartbeat. Lovely folks, very helpful, very pleasant easy to get along with and great Canadian NEIGHBORS.

My Melbourne garden shed is gorgeous and definitely magazine worthy. I found Summerwood to be an exceptional company to work with. They were always available to help me out with shipping and construction questions. This beautiful creation absolutely exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this company. I researched garden sheds for 3 months before deciding on Summerwood Products. They did not disappoint !

Great Gazebo

We had a Monterrey Gazebo installed this spring, the craftmanship and quality of the installation by Summerwood was amazing. The Gazebo is breathtaking, and we have received many complements on it. I would highly recommend Summerwood to anyone interested in a Gazebo.

Highly Recommend Summerwood Products...

I purchased a shed approximately 20 yrs ago and staff was very helpful and professional back then. Returned to replace two flower boxes recently and was met with the same standards of customer service and care. It was a pleasure to deal with them and will not hesitate to return for future needs. I would highly recommend Suummerwood for their exceptional service and products.

I love my new Pool Cabana

I love my new Pool Cabana, summerwood’s Urban Studio turned out so beautiful in my backyard. High quality, elegant, and cool!
Can’t wait to finishing the interior and turn it to a Pool Cabana!
Summerwood team was amazing throughout the whole process, they are very professional and friendly. I had some challenging timeline and they were so kind to accommodate that too.
I would definitely recommend this company to everyone.

A great family experience.

We really enjoyed meeting John. He was very helpful, showed us several Bunkie options and prepared a design for the Bala Bunkie that included our choices for windows and door.
Our family(ies) all came to the shop and checked it out with John's guidance.

Excellent Customer Service With High Quality Products

I purchased a Victorian Cedar Gazebo from Summerwood Products approximately 20 years ago and have enjoyed it over the years and expect to have many more years. The gazebo still looks great to this day and I have had many compliments. I have received excellent customer service over the years with John Hickey (Senior Designer) who is always accommodating to my special requests. John and his dog greet their customers in the showroom. This provides a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. It's always been a pleasure to deal with Summerwood Products personnel and especially John. I highly recommend the company for their high quality products and friendly staff who are always willing to help the customer. I would look no further for the product you are looking for. A solid 5 Star company.

Thank you,
Marie Bowman
A very satisfied customer

Multiple orders. Wonderful company.

I've ordered two buildings from this company. Worth the money. Beautiful.
I had an issue with an incompetent carpenter onsite and had to completely redo one of the cedar roofs. Customer service was attentive and very helpful, replacement shingles were less expensive reordering through the company and arrived quickly

Triple black 14x24 Annex project

I bought and assembled a 14x24 Annex garage that Summerwood customized for me. It went together seamlessly and the design, shipping and technical support was the best you could imagine. Precise execution, fantastic quality, and an overall genuinely great experience. AND they are RUSH fans :)

We Highly Recommend Using Summerwood

Summerwood was a pleasure to work with from the design phase right down to installation. My husband found this company on the internet after doing some research. We had an idea of what we wanted and Summerwood brought our idea to life using the Verana Model. We customized some of the pieces. When someone enters our backyard, our cabana is now a feature piece that everyone comments on. The install process was also smooth.
The timeline was accurate, the workers were efficient and clean. The craftmanship and quality is unbelievable. We highly recommend Summerwood Products to make your dreams come true.

Over 25 years and it still look great

We bought our Summerwood shed in the 1990s--it was the first thing that we purchased over the Internet. We have been delighted with it ever since. It has held up extremely well and consistently draws compliments (I think we have helped sell three Summerwood sheds to folks who visited our backyard). We are replacing the window boxes (they can't last forever), but the main structure is still in great condition. Service then and now is outstanding. We highly recommend this company and their products.

Summerwood is a great company to work…

Summerwood is a great company to work with. Our kit was delivered to our job site. The included build instructions were a little generic for our kit, but when we called the office they were extremely helpful and were able to walk our foreman through the entire build. Our client is very happy with her Sanara pool cabana.
