So far so good
Description of Work: This work hasn't been done because of inspection problems but Bert was one of the only people to get back to me. When I text him about questions or concerns he always answers promptly. That is a first it seems for contractors. I would recommend him to anyone!

Have used the services of Bert and his team for past 8 years and for many home projects in that time. Everything from installing air conditioning throughout the apartment, painting( indoor and outdoor) installing fireplace, refinishing floors, plumbing , masonry, electrical and lighting work. I have referred him to many friends and family over the years. Very reliable, trustworthy, with meticulous attention to detail in his work. I've often had work completed while on vacation without having to worry about home security and with all tidy and clean on my return. Have always had fast response for any home emergency repairs and recently had various work completed before selling my home which was organized and completed very efficiently to accommodate a short time frame prior to our house closing. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bert to anyone for any house projects or renovations. All the team are friendly ,hardworking and work to very high standard. They have very competitive pricing which gives good value. Very punctual and good time management - always arriving at the arranged time and completing the task within the expected time frame. They also give good practical advice and guidance where needed re house projects and renovations. Never had a problem and always had follow up phone call or visit ,after work was completed, to make sure I was happy with all the work carried out. For Bert nothing seemed to be too much trouble and he always came to work with friendly humor and thoughtful, helpful attitude and always go the extra mile to make sure all was done to the highest standard.

A plan was made at the start of the project with a target date of May 1st for completion of the project. Start date was the first week of January. All work was done on time with only a one week delay (finished the 2nd week of May) caused by the unanticipated need to install the steel beams. When we mentioned the overwhelming dust due to the work, the company showed up the next day, a Saturday, to install a dust barrier and zip doors in an effort to make the rest of the house more comfortable. This was done without us asking for it. Company kept us up to date on the project so that there were no surprises including unexpected costs.I am very pleased with the work done by this company. This is the third time I have engaged them for major reconstruction. This is also the third time I have been very, very pleased by their work. Bert Murphy Construction separates itself from other organizations due to its professional, quality work, and reliability. I would use them again without reservation.

Done extremely well - on time and on budget. No surprises. No contention whatsoever.
Description of Work: I purchased a townhouse in the South End of Boston. Bert totally renovated three of the four floors of the home over 5 months before we moved in. The scope included total floor plan renovations, complete Kitchen renovation - all appliances, cabinets, design and creation of home office including granite wet bar and glass cabinets with built in wine storage. Special items such as crown moldings and pillar construction done very professionally. All electric and plumbing done very professionally. Work was done extremely professional - very clean on both demo and construction. Bert was very flexible on design, painting, wall papering, carpeting. Bert was very responsive to post construction issues. I have used Bert on other projects from complete renovations to small internal plumbing or electrical issues. I will definitely use him in the future. I cannot recommend Bert Murphy highly enough.

I contracted with Bert Murphy to work with the engineering firm (CBI) to document the poor workmanship and damage to the unit so I would have evidence when I got to court. Bert demolished the existing roof and replaced it and all of the underlying insulation material. Bert demolished the existing interior walls, doors and floors ruined by the water, and replaced the windows and insulation and rebuilt the walls, doors and floors. The unit was painted. With the evidence documented by CBI and Bert, and presented in depositions, I was able to recover from the developer the entire cost of the renovation in a legal settlement. It was a pleasure to work with Bert. He was very sensitive to the issue of documenting everything during demolition and working around my engineering firm and my attorney. All work was fixed bid, completed on time and within budget. The court found the costs to repair the damages fair and reasonable. The quality of the work is excellent. NO further problems with the building since we completed the new roof and interior repairs.
Description of Work: I purchased a condo in a renovated building in South Boston for my daughter. The building was a bakery that was renovated in 2003 to three condos. Each was purchased around 2003 from the developer who gutted the building down to the exterior walls and built the three new condos. All were new construction - high end finishes (granite kitchens, HVAC system, etc.). The unit I purchased was the largest unit (40% of building) two bedroom, 1 1/2 bath. Our unit was on two floors, the second and third. The common roof was above my top floor bedrooms. We started to experience some leaking in the unit about 18 months after we purchased it. We could not determine if the leaks were coming from the roof or the windows or the exterior brick work (original exterior walls covered with stucco). We worked with the original developer of the property who for over a year paid lip service to us - tried simple patches and eventually said our warranty had run out. The leaking continued to get excessively worse to the point that when it rained the windows on the second and third floor northern wall would leak profusely. I contacted Bert Murphy to evaluate the situation. He had recently completed a major renovation of a town house I own in the South End. Bert quickly determined that the problem was when the new roof (rubber membrane) was put on when the building was renovated it was improperly installed, flashed and sealed, and eventually the underlying materials had broken down and the water was running down the interior walls, rotting out the windows, doors and floor on the northern wall of the building. I contacted the developer and he denied everything and told me tough luck. I hired an engineering company and lawyer and pursued relief which I eventually won.
