- Founding-year discrepancy — website says 1939, BBB records a 1949 start
W.T. Kenney says it has been painting buildings around Boston since 1939 and that a fourth-generation family still runs the business — though its Better Business Bureau file puts the start date a decade later, in 1949, crediting it with 77 years in business. Either telling makes this a long-running, family-operated shop, not a newcomer. Based in Arlington, its own site describes a commercial painting company doing interior and exterior work, specialty coatings, and industrial maintenance painting, and that lines up with what actually shows up in its reviews: offices, lab and university campuses, and institutional properties, not typical single-family homes. The most recent reviews back up that focus with real jobs. A June 2026 review describes a large commercial repaint where site access and a rough facade were the challenges going in; the reviewer says the crew transformed the building's look and kept the site clean throughout — clean enough that the property's own tenant flagged how easy the crew was to work with. A month earlier, another client had W.T. Kenney handle a water-infiltration repair start to finish: tearing out the damaged walls and ceiling, replacing the drywall, then repainting. Reviewers writing in over that same stretch name Brian and Amy Benoit specifically, describing a team that communicates proactively and walks through the finished work before calling it done. Zoom out and the pattern holds: the reviews on file go back to 2024, all five stars, and none of the last six months' worth are negative. Google shows a 5-star average across 28 ratings, and BBB gives the company an A+ grade — though it's worth knowing that A+ doesn't mean accredited: W.T. Kenney is not a BBB Accredited Business. For a property manager or facilities team with a large repaint, a restoration job, or a historic building to maintain, the history here is deep and consistent. A homeowner considering them for a house repaint is a different customer than the ones leaving these reviews, so it's worth asking directly about residential jobs, scheduling, and pricing before booking.

WT Kenney did a large painting job for our commercial building which was a challenge because of site access and the condition of the facade. They did a fantastic job with the painting, essentially transforming the look of the entire building. Their crew was also great to deal with. Our tenant went out of their way to make sure we were aware of how easy WT Kenney's crew were to work with. They were accommodating to our tenant's operations; they cleaned up every day and were a pleasure to be around. I will be using them for all of our projects moving forward!

WT Kenney provided great service at my commercial building where we had a water infiltration. They completed the full restoration from removing the affected walls and ceiling to replacing the drywall and repainting. Thank you!!

I have had the pleasure of working with W.T. Kenney over the past few years, specifically with Amy Benoit and Eric Pacheco. Needless to say, their service, responsiveness, and dedication to their craft truly set them apart from other contractors in the area. Not only are their prices very competitive, but the quality of service and professionalism they provide consistently exceeds expectations. One aspect I especially appreciate is their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. After each project is completed, they conduct a final walkthrough to ensure everything has been addressed properly and that the work aligns fully with the agreed scope. W.T. Kenney is a truly first-class contractor, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality painting services. - Charles Assenza, C&W, Commercial Property Manager.
