"Upon moving to Cambridge, we went to a local Benjamin Moore dealer and asked if they could recommend a painter. They suggested 2 Tall Guys. We called them and Geoff, one of the owners, set up a meeting with us to discuss our plan to have the entire inside of our home painted. Geoff offered suggestions on colour choices and finishes and then followed up by sending us a quote and a detailed list of the work to be done.
From the onset of the project we were impressed with the quality of work and the attention to detail that were displayed by Geoff, Mike and their team. Each and every person on the team was polite, friendly and hard working. At the end of each day they did a thorough cleanup which we greatly appreciated as we were living in our house while all of this work as going on.
The results exceeded our expectations and although it was difficult to choose what we liked the best, it would have to be the striped wall in our living room. From the straight lines taped off by Mike to the paint treatment by Geoff, it is the highlight of the room.
The painting of our home was a large project but it was a most positive experience and we would definitely recommend 2 Tall Guys."
