O'Doherty Painting is a Milton-based painting contractor known for detailed interior and exterior work that often includes plaster repair. In 2022 reviews, customers described a range of jobs: several projects in Boston's Back Bay and North End, a full interior-and-exterior repaint of an old Victorian home in Newton that included plaster work tied to ice-dam water damage, plaster wall repairs paired with painting several rooms, and a kitchen repaint. Every review on file is five stars, and the recurring theme is attention to detail — customers single out careful surface preparation and clean, tidy work, with Michael O'Doherty named directly as leading the crew on each job. There's nothing more recent than 2022 to go on, so it's worth confirming current availability and pricing before booking.
I've have used O'Doherty for several painting projects in the back bay and north end of Boston . He work and professionalism was second to none. Highly recommend this company.
We live in an old victorian home in Newton and Michael O'Doherty has flawlessly painted every surface inside and out of our house and home studio. His attention to detail, his deep knowledge of his craft and materials, his can do attitude is a breath of fresh air. He is a joy to have on the job, and so respectful of the space. Michael 's painstaking preparation of the surfaces to be painted sets up the job for success. His plastering skills are as amazing as his painting skills. A few years ago we had some serious water damage caused by the extraordinary snowfalls and resulting dreaded "ice dams". Our home had water pouring into multiple areas causing staining and buckling walls. Michael resurfaced a section in my studio and repaired all the damage, then painted everything blending it in perfectly. On another project at another time he refinished our bathroom vanities and brought them back to new condition. I can't say enough good things abut him. He has done many projects for us over the last few years and we have been overjoyed with the experience each and every time.
Michael and his crew did a great job repairing plaster walls and painting several rooms. Well done, very clean, professional and pleasant to work with too. Will hire them again!
We could not have been happier with our kitchen transformation from Mike and his team. They were efficient, beyond tidy on the job, professional and friendly. Thank you Mike!
