I've used McDonough Painting several times as have many in my neighborhood. The work has always been thorough and with great attention to detail. The crew has been professional, punctual, considerate and left my house clean and orderly each day they worked. Pat McDonough's assessment of the job, time required, and his estimate were straight forward and comprehensive, leaving me confident that all would go well...it always did! I'm beyond satisfied with McDonough Painting! - Marie read more

Wow. These guys are amazing. They painted the exterior of our home in Glen Park for a very reasonable price and did a fantastic job. The amount of prep work they did really shows in the quality of the finished product. The color scheme we chose wasn't complex, just three colors, but I'm sure they would have done a great job with that if we had. Our job required scaffolding and netting off the back of our house. The crew (Pat McDonough, Willie, Salvador and all the guys) were great, working hard all day and then tidying up before going home. Other contractors were also doing work at the house and they were friendly, working well together. They were really nice about our two dogs, too. But what really brought it to the next level was what happened after the job was done. The week following, in the special circle of hell known as preparing for an open house, I called Pat to ask about painting a small portion of pink wall on the neighbors house that had been revealed by removing an old gate. Pat not only said Yes, I can come by tomorrow to do that, he said he wouldn't charge me. The next day, Pat and Salvador showed up on time, then proceeded to paint the wall and paint an adjacent door. I would hire them again, without question. I would recommend them to friends, my boss, or my grandmother. read more

Pat's crew does a good job but he was hard to work with, was very disrespectful and insisted to speak with the men at my office and not me, a woman. I don't suggest hiring him. I hired Pat McDonough to paint our office as we were moving out. He and his crewed had worked with my supervisor before and I thought it best to go with a personal recommendation. We were mostly looking for them to paint and patch two rooms that were painted a dark grey but needed to be white and then paint and patch the large office area, filling holes, evening out the color etc. He showed up without much notice during the lunch hour one day to do the quote. The quote seems fair and reasonable so . When it came time for the job he and his crew didn't show up on the day they had planned to come in. He was slow to respond to messages and phone calls about his no show and blamed me for him not showing up. He was very rude with me and wasn't willing to work with our work schedule the next day for the job. He even went around me, the main contact for the job, and talked to my mail supervisor (who was out of town). During the job he wasn't there the whole day and wouldn't make himself available for a walk through. When I went to try to meet him at 3pm, Pat wasn't there and his crew had already packed up having only worked a 6-7 hours for a job that was quoted to take 2-3 days. I did a walk through with one of the guys in the crew who was very nice and I pointed out that the walls needed at least another 1-2 coats on the two rooms because I could see streaks of the dark color under the light color. In the main space there were many many spots that needed attention. I tried calling Pat on the phone to talk to him about finishing the job but he refused to answer. He did call one of the painters on his crew, who was standing next to me, and talk to him about my walk through. I heard him talk about me to the man about how I didn't know what I was talking about but do the bare minimum to make me happy. The painter agreed with me that they needed more work on the rooms and argued that they could come back tomorrow in the morning. Pat brushed him off and agreed and they hung up. The painter said he would meet with me in the morning at 9:30am to review that everything was they way it should be. He said they would be there from 8-11am the next day. I wrote Pat, again, reviewing what just happened. No response. At 8am the next day I messaged Pat to ask if I would be seeing him that morning when I did the final walk through. He replied no and that his crew would just be doing one coat on the two rooms and they will be packed up by 9:30a. I called him and he was beyond disrespectful with his language and tone. He said he was done with the job, it was "good enough". He called the space "shitty" and said that I shouldn't expect much of their work because of the space. He included some personal insults to me. I pointed out that I hired him to do a job and that I expected that job to be done and he started to yell at me and said he was done talking to me about, that I didn't know what I was talking about, and that he would only take criticism from my male supervisor. He was done talking to me and hung up. When I showed up at the space, no one was there. The two rooms did get one more coat but the main space still had a lot to be desired. Many of the spots I had pointed out during the walk through were not taken care of. The whole experience was terrible. Pat was right though, the job was good enough, but I thought I hired someone to do a good job and do it right. I expected an A, not a C+. If you are a woman, non-binary, or queer person, I wouldn't recommend hiring Pat. read more

My wife and I have used Pat for close to 15 years, and he has a key to our house. I would describe us as exacting about our home and paint (our home is on the historic registry and we collect antique furniture / decorative arts). Pat and his crew are competitively priced, very pleasant and courteous to work with, and really (really) outstanding in their craft. Highly recommend. read more

This review is long overdue. We were in search for a painter to service the exterior walls of our 2 story condo. We interviewed three painting companies and McDonough Painting stood out among the three. Pat was responsive, thorough with his evaluation, and fair in pricing. Our project required the removal of existing paint, caulking, scaffolding and netting around the house. Pat and his team were very conscientious about wrapping the exterior of the house to prevent the leeching of lead into the environment. He also helped me seal the interior windows with plastic wrap to minimize any lead exposure to my young child. Throughout the process, he remained a good communicator of what to expect next. He even took photos and emailed them to us while we were out of town for two weeks. We left the color scheme up to Pat and were very impressed by his artistic eye. He chose a different color for the patio door frame, deck and railings. It gave the house a more clean and modern look. When the project was completed, his team left our house and grounds meticulously clean. The whole experience with Pat and his team reflects on his professionalism and dedication to his art. read more

My wife and I were selling our home and we hired Pat and his crew. Our home needed a bit of freshening up and we decided to paint a couple of rooms to lighten up the place. Pat and his crew were very friendly and very professional. They were always on time, neat and considerate of working around us. The most important thing was the work that was done. It was excellent. We ended up painting 5 rooms, the deck and outside walls, and the garage. They were very patient with our constant change orders. Pat, the owner, is very willing to work within your resources and goes out of his way to deliver the most value for the cost. In my line of business, I have had the opportunity to work with many painting contractors and these guys by far are the best I have dealt with. If you want top work done, especially if you are presenting a house for sale, there are no better painters around. We sold our house for 10% above asking price, in ten days, in today's market, and I know that a big part of that was Pat's contribution to the project. I highly recommend McDonough Painting. You will not be disappointed. read more

We had a fire on our roof 2 years after Pat and his crew had done such a marvelous job restoring our entire building. There was much damage and we called Pat McDonough again. They did another superb job and everything is as good as new. Pat is efficient, cost conscious and the quality of the work is without peer. His very experienced crew member Salvador was able to do some tricky color matching that saved us from a major repaint of inside damage. Pat, Bravo again to you and your team. All the residents here are very grateful. read more

Job well done! Thank you Robby and crew for your fine work. We needed to have my mother's house painted both inside and out to prepare it for sale. Robby was super easy to work with and did everything we asked him to do, including helping us pick colors and move heavy furniture. The house was in very poor condition before he started, and by the time he was finished it looked like a new home. What most impressed us was the prep work that went into the house before the actual painting began. His attention to detail is second to none and we are very pleased with the results. The house looks amazing and is now a stand out on the street. Thank you! JOB WELL DONE! read more
