Buzalko Woodworking: Pottsville Craftsman Creates Custom Furniture

Steve Buzalko used to be a postman and also served in the Army. But all of his life he loved woodworking, and finally realized that creating custom works of art -- furniture, built-ins, etc -- was his true calling. I am thrilled that he switched careers to follow a different path, as Buzalko Woodworking (Makers of fine furniture, cabinetry, and millwork) is a now a major name in Pottsville.

Steve has run Buzalko Woodworking since the mid-1980s and is he is the go-to guy for both residential and commercial custom-built furniture and cabinetry.

I asked Steve to create built-ins at my house a few years ago. I sketched an idea of what I had in mind, and Steve refined the sketch and made it come to life. The result is fantastic. My entry way used to be a dead area of wasted space. Now I have 2 large oak closets that bracket a seating bench, to take your shoes off. I love it. It's one of my favorite features of my house.

Steve has installed cabinetry at Murphy Jewelers in Hamburg, PA, and has worked on churches and large commercial sites, as well as small residential projects. If you go to the Murphy Jewelers site, you'll see a slide show of interior shots, and all that cabinetry is Steve's work. In fact, he is so busy right now, even in this economy, that he has a waiting list of projects. Most of his business comes from satisfied customers and word of mouth.

He usually takes measurements at the site, then creates the pieces in his home / shop just outside Pottsville, on the Gordon Nagle Trail, and returns to install them. It's not a quick process, as everything is made by hand, but when you see his work, you won't complain if it isn't done in a weekend. Quality is worth waiting for, and Steve's work is no exception.

Whenever one of my Schuylkill County real estate clients needs custom woodwork, I highly recommend Steve.
