What our clients say…

Beverly Stone, Brattleboro VT

Moe Momaney and Momaney Painters are an absolute pleasure to work with! The team did a stellar job on the exterior of my house, cleaning up and revitalizing the trim and porch. For the interior work, Moe was patient and thoughtful in dealing with my decorating neurosis. His aesthetic instincts, honed from decades of experience, were spot-on. He also made several improvements to areas that needed repair, prior to painting.

Momaney Painters does a top quality job for a reasonable price. I recommend them highly!

Prudence Baird, Brattleboro VT

Moe fixed an area under our kitchen cabinets that had water damage from a leaking dishwasher. He explained the situation, made suggestions and then handled it based on our discussion. He showed up when he said he would and was very professional.

Daniel Korngruth, Brattleboro, VT

I’ve worked with Moe on various jobs over the past three years and, as a builder with over 20 years of experience, I can tell you that Moe’s skills and talents are manifold. Moe shows up early, does excellent work and leaves the job site clean and tidy. His crew is respectful and diligent. Moe has an eye for detail.

I also want to mention a few things about the man himself that are professionally relevant: Moe is an incredibly nice guy; he’s friendly and kind and maintains a positive attitude, Moe learned his trade from his family but, perhaps even more remarkable is the fact that his kids work for him every summer.

Lastly, I have to mention Moe’s rates. I first worked with Moe while doing extensive repairs to the exterior of a home in downtown Brattleboro. The client received numerous bids and Moe’s was among the lower ones. When the homeowner picked Moe, I assumed that the low price would be reflected in the quality of the work but was pleasantly surprised by Moe’s EXACTING standards. To put it bluntly, he’s been in the trades a long time and he knows exactly what he’s doing.

We have contracted with Momaney Painters to work on several painting projects at our Bakery. Moe’s team has complied with all safety and sanitation requirements while satisfactorily completing all projects on schedule. The quality of their work has been more than acceptable and they have been very easy to work with. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering their services.

Putney, VT Librarian

Just a quick note filled with huge gratitude to you and your very capable and talented painting team…for all the things they did over and above the ordinary to make this old home sparkle and look like new. You make it all look so easy!! Amazing!

Anne Doran, Brattleboro, VT

Momaney Painters represents the utmost in professionalism. From the outset the quality of their work is seen in the exceptional attention to detail, a fantastic crew and thorough, prompt work. Moe was fantastic to work with because he loves painting old houses with a lot of character, which mine certainly is. His crew showed up each day on time, was careful and experienced and left the property organized and picked up at the end of each work day. Our home looks stunning. It was one of our best investments.

Laura Stevenson, Wilmington, VT

For years, I took the cheapest estimates when my house and barn needed painting, which was every three years. Then a friend recommended Moe Momaney and his crew. They came, and the paint stayed on twice as long and looks 100% better. They come by now and then to do touch-ups, so in the long run, my house looks great longer at a lower cost. The crew is a delight, and the work is impeccable. I recommend Momaney Painters to everybody I know.

Melissa, Gray Ledges Rentals, Grantham, NH

Momaney Painting did a thorough, professional job at two sites for me. The crew was at the job site when they said they would be there and they were conscientious. I would strongly recommend Momaney Painting!

Cynthia Moore, Sojourns Community Health Clinic, Westminster, VT

Moe and his crew did a phenomenal job repairing and painting our clinic last Fall. The exterior of our 214 year-old farmhouse has never looked better, or been in better repair than it is now, after the thorough and professional attention it received from Momaney Painting. Each phase of the work exceeded expectations. We’ve had numerous compliments from our clients on the newly refreshed look of our place. Throughout the entire process Moe’s suggestions as to how to improve the exterior were in keeping with our building style and demonstrated how much attention he paid to the details and character of our place. The work was done on time and within budget. A project of this size can wreak havoc on the flow of business, but that wasn’t our experience. All of Moe’s workers were courteous and conscientious about our needs; and they were all diligent about cleaning up each day as they went along, and disruptions were minimal. From beginning to end it was a great experience and we are pleased to recommend Momaney Painting with 5+ stars!

Rick & Cindy Kenyon, Brattleboro, VT

Our experience with Momaney Painters was a delightful experience. They painted our master bedroom professionally, neatly, and were careful not to track mud into the house as it was mud season. He was there when he said he would be and finished when he said they would. Thank you, Moe!

Don G., Guilford, VT

I want to say thank you for doing such a beautiful job. I would have emailed you from VT, but we don’t have internet at the house, and in the midst of my travels I forgot.  However now that I’m back at work let me say how happy it made me to see the house looking so beautiful. I think the woodwork looks better than it has since before we bought the place.  Your son was charming when I met him, and the crew were very respectful of the place and left everything in very good order.  I realize this was a complicated job but you really did it fantastically well.  If you ever need or want a reference just let me know.  I’m a very satisfied customer. Thanks again for your work—and for your patience on this.

Momaney Painters recently painted the exterior and the interior of our 1932 building. The building had not been painted for many years. The Painters went beyond applying paint. Overgrown shrubbery was cut and removed, windows needed much work. The building was pressure washed, scraped, primer applied, with 2 final coats of oil paint giving the building the attention it deserved.

The interior also needed more than painting. The crew removed old heating pipes, removed ceiling light covers that contained a few bats. The list is long of items and good deeds that Moe and crew performed that went beyond their contract.

The “Painters” were professional, hard working, cheerful and completed all work to our complete satisfaction. We recommend the “Momaney Painters” to anyone who is looking for a responsible, trustworthy, local, long established painting contractor for residential or commercial project.

We encourage anyone to view our building. We are proud of the job done by Momaney Painters.
