Tall Guy Woodworking is a Boston carpentry and renovation company, and a 2026 Google customer called working with Blair and his team a pleasure. The company says it was started by Blair Toland, who moved into construction after a career as a chef. A 2024 Google customer said a winder stair built for them was a tough custom job, and that Blair knew the right people for a highly custom stair build other carpenters didn't want to or couldn't deliver on. A 2024 Google customer said they worked with Blair to build custom cabinetry and replace the countertops in their kitchen. In a 2024 Google review, a customer described the design and build of living room built-ins. A 2024 customer said Tall Guy Builders turned a cramped back staircase into a half bathroom and closet in their turn-of-the-century Victorian in Dorchester; that 2024 customer said Blair, Thom and Jeff paid attention to keeping the character and style of the house. A 2024 customer said a bathroom gut renovation in their apartment included getting permits and scheduling inspections, and that the company suggested raising the ceiling. A 2024 customer said they hired the team to rebuild their front deck on a triple decker. A 2024 customer said that on their renovation the team collaborated with their architect and, when surprises arose, coordinated with subs, neighbors and permitting to get the job done.

Working with Tall Guy Builders - and Blair and his entire team - is such a pleasure. The level of quality, craftsmanship, and care for their customers is unparalleled. If you are looking for a true partner for your remodel project - from vision to completion - working with this team is the clear choice.
It’s always a pleasure to work with true professionals. From start to finish, we were provided with all the information needed to ensure the project went smoothly and efficiently.
We worked with Blair at Tall Guy Builders to build custom cabinetry and replace our countertops in our kitchen. I cannot recommend him enough; not only was his work impeccable, he delivered on a very reasonable schedule and provided clear and honest communication at every stage of the process. Blair is friendly, knowledgeable, and talented and I highly recommend his services.
From the very beginning of our working relationship, we were really impressed with Blair’s approach to our renovation project. The whole team put in a ton of work ahead of time to scope the work and deliver detailed estimates, collaborated extremely well with our architect, and delivered a result that we couldn’t be happier with. Even when the inevitable surprises arose, they did a fantastic job of keeping us apprised of the situation, adapting as needed, and coordinating with subs, neighbors, and permitting to get the job done.
Blair and team were a pleasure to work with - great communicators and collaborators, responsive, creative problem-solvers, and relentlessly focused on doing high quality work at the most detailed levels while still sensitive to our timing needs. I would highly recommend Tall Guy for any project!
