IN MEMORIUM - DENNY HAMILTON

IN MEMORIUM - DENNY HAMILTON

FOUNDER

With over 50 years of experience selling and installing commercial window treatments in the Blair County area, no one knew more about window treatments than Denny Hamilton. And through discipline, hard work, and some risk-taking, Denny also knew what it takes to create a successful business. After years of working for other firms, in 1998, he and his son, Steve, opened their own business in the family basement. Under Denny’s leadership, the business expanded from windows-only to a full range of commercial interior products and services, providing Central PA clients with the area’s first and only holistic approach to workspace design. Denny’s focus on delivering top quality work on-budget and on-time has produced client relationships that have spanned 5 decades. Today, T2B is recognized as the area’s number one commercial interior firm, with clients of all sizes and across multiple industries. Denny was especially proud of the team he has built with a culture driven by collaboration and performance.  Denny passed away in early 2023 and is sorely missed by all who knew him.
