When Ashley Burrell hired Vecchio Painters & Designers for a painting project, the crew discovered a basement flood mid-job and helped manage it without being asked, then finished ahead of schedule. She praised the team for "keeping their workspace clean throughout" even during that disruption. Owner John Parisi runs the company with the same hands-on approach, from painting color samples on walls before sign-off to conducting final walkthroughs before any crew departs.
John founded Vecchio Painters & Designers, now headquartered at 1522 E. 66th St. in Brooklyn. The Fine Paints of Europe Certified firm handles interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, wallpaper removal and installation, specialty elastomeric roof coatings, faux finishes, and commercial repaints across New York City and beyond. Hugo leads wallpaper installations, earning consistent praise for seamless results on demanding applications from stairwells to open-plan living spaces.
The fully insured team serves Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Westchester County, and Connecticut markets including Greenwich and Stamford.

John appears in reviews not as a distant owner but as someone who shows up, paints samples on walls for review, and walks completed jobs before signing off. Adam Wolf described a process where John "painted color samples on the house, confirmed our color selections, and did a final walkthrough to ensure satisfaction." Benita Hussain noted John "walks you through all the details before anything starts." Ashley Foster added he "even helped us pick out colors of one of the rooms."

Hugo leads wallpaper projects and earns direct name mentions across reviews. Susanna Babayev described a custom single-slab install as "one slab, no seams no creases," calling the team "very professional, kind, clean and easy to work with." Molly Goggins Talbot credited Hugo for work that was "meticulous and very clean." Kerry Mangone praised a staircase installation in a difficult overhead area. All three reviews describe precise results on applications that challenge less experienced crews.

Cleanup earns unsolicited praise across projects of all sizes. Ashley Burrell noted the team "kept their workspace clean throughout" while also finishing ahead of schedule. Melissa Derose highlighted that the crew removed leftover paint cans on completion. Kerry Mangone, after extensive wall and ceiling work, confirmed "everything was kept clean during and after the painting." The pattern holds across different crew configurations and project types, pointing to a company-wide standard rather than individual initiative.

Return business surfaces consistently throughout the reviews. Kati Despretz, who owns multiple properties, wrote she wishes she "had found them sooner" and describes ongoing work across her portfolio. Robert Mancuso committed "all future projects" to John after a front door and garage floor job. Multiple additional reviewers signal intent to return or reference previous work completed. The pattern suggests customers treat Vecchio Painters & Designers as a standing contractor relationship rather than a one-time hire.

The pricing-to-quality relationship comes up consistently across different project types. JASON DATRI described "high end work with professional results at a great value." Bianca Volpetti tagged her review "Great price" after noting results "completely exceeded our expectations." Stacy Nassi found the estimate "fair" and moved forward quickly. Alexander Moshkovich summarized simply "Worth the price!" The pattern holds across single-room residential jobs and larger commercial projects, suggesting pricing that scales reasonably with scope.

The sole 1-star review in Vecchio Painters & Designers' history came from Basya Woonteiler, who reported a scheduled appointment was missed without explanation. John's response cited a broken foot, confirmed he had contacted her by phone and text to explain, and offered to "make this right." The response was direct rather than defensive. It stands as the only negative review against dozens of detailed positive ones spanning multiple years on Google.
