“Heri was a pleasure to work with. I do a ton of construction out of state and have dealt with all types of contractors and vendors. If you want a no fuss straight up job this is your guy. He priced it out for me quickly, we quickly made a deal, and he completed the work at a very high level and in a timely fashion. This was a paint job for a 1600 sq ft apt. Highly recommend and will be using him for all of my handy work. Thank you Heri!”

“I will continue to contract him for any painting or resurfacing needs and I am very happy I found someone honest and reliable. Highly recommend Vanta Surfaces!”

“Then during the whole renovation, the team was super efficient and professional! The result speaks for itself. Thank you!”

“Ive lived in NYC for over 30 yrs so when we decided to buy a coop in Westchester, we both knew we wanted to bring as much city style as possible. We heard a lot of NO from local contractors who have their own palettes, teams & permits shortcuts, so it was a relief to find NYC- & Westchester-based 2MO, who gave us the best of both worlds. Today, village life in lovely Bronxville starts every day with a chic apartment we love.We did a near-total reno of a 1k sq ft 2-bdrm 1-bath apt, incl walk-in shower/wetrm, breakthru to turn a cramped 1920s living room into an open, airy life room, a new 2-person home office upgrade from a weird guest bdrm, the best new hardwood floor in the building, an invisible full pantry & separate wardrobe carved out of an old narrow hallway.Here are a few details:1st, Mohsen Moghaddam (that the 2MOs) & his team are a true design/build architect-forward firm so they started with a true design consult process what we knew we wanted, what we didnt know, what we really needed. There were disagreements but the process worked through it all, with 2MO honestly listening, sometimes objecting, always offering solid options. Our timeline & budget ended up being twice the estimates but that was because of the choices we were happy with.Each member of the team has not just a role, but an expertise, and each had their turn at improving the project concierge-level materials sourcing, real-time CAD changes as we brainstormed, hands-on & workplan-obsessed managers, & flawless construction/painting. The 2MO team is evolving so there are ongoing staff changes, but they covered any gaps.2MO was expanding into Westchester during our project but they quickly figured out how to work with county offices on complex permits in the time our neighbors told us it would take.The crew had a bend-over-backwards approach to our building's guidelines on work hours, site noise & cleanliness.We had many walkthrus to ID glitches; fast repairs with no addl charges when warranted.Finally, Mohsens kind ego-less spirit, global sense of style, total commitment & excited professionalism anchored us & his team every day.Meet 2MO if youre looking for a special place to live & a rich collaboration getting there.”
