Amazing work!! I had an addition built on the side of my house and I am so glad I had the Murray's perform the job. These guys do an incredible job with top notch craftmanship for a decent price. The place looks beautiful. Their customer service is impeccable, I believe that this is mostly due to them being a family run business. If you want the job done right, I would definitely give them a call and I will surely hire them again for future job!

I am an architect hired to fix lousy work by Murray and Sons. They installed some porch steps that did not conform to code, with the bottom step being way too tall. When the homeowners complained, Murray and Sons got very angry and did not fix. Either these guys do not know building code or they do not care. Just because Boston Building Inspectors do not care does not mean builders like Murray and Sons do not have to meet code requirements. Avoid these guys!

This was a BAD remodeling experience with contractor's workers a no-show MOST of the time, and when they did show up workers had NO tools or materials to work with! This is no joke; these guys show up unprepared. We had to provide them our personal tools and materials so these guys could be productive when they did show up. A fairly simple remodel job that was guaranteed to complete within 2 months actually took nearly 12 months to complete! To get things progressing/moving forward we had to take over the work (demolition, etc.) and do it ourselves. Quality of workers and workmanship is poor. Don't expect them to clean after themselves or your bathroom. If you care about quality of the work, responsiveness, and timeliness, then DO NOT USE this contractor! By the way, the owner is nasty and dismissed any concerns or complaints that we had. Although I did my homework in advance of hiring these yahoos, only later did I learn from other folks that this contractor's reputation is not good.

Response from Murray & Sons Contracting
"Hello Ms. [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry you had such a poor experience with your remodel, but you left the review for the wrong company. We are Murray and Sons out of West Roxbury (Boston) MA and as I can see on your profile you live in NY which would be quite the trip for us to perform a remodel. Unfortunately, Angie's List doesn't screen the reviews to prevent the wrong company from getting a poor review. I wish you the best in any future work you have done to your property."

Response from Murray & Sons Contracting
"Hello Ms. [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with another company named Murray, but you left this review for the wrong company. We are a construction company out of West Roxbury and we don't do any snow removal with bobcats. I also have not worked in Cambridge in many years. I believe there is another Murray and Sons out of Somerville. This may be the company you used. Unfortunately Angie's List doesn't screen reviews to prevent the wrong company from getting a poor rating."

They came highly recommended by a friend and I can see why. Not only is their work impeccable, but he is a pleasure to work with. He made me feel at ease during the whole process. This was really my first experience with major renovations and it couldn't have gone any  more smoother.

While gutting out the kitchen and bath they discovered several issues with wall framing that had been covered up by the previous owners. With no extra charge he fixed any problems that he came across. Even with these issues he was still able to finish the work on time.

I love my new bathroom and kitchen and would highly recommend these guys.

I was very impressed with the quality and workmanship of the company. They were really dedicated to the job one hundred percent and finished right on schedule. I would recommend them because they are fast and accurate. My kitchen looks awesome.

THEY TOOK EVERYTHING WITH THEM THAT THEY REMOVED FROM THE BATHROOM, WITHOUT ASKING ME IF I WANTED TO KEEP IT. THEY WOULD COME ONE DAY, THEN NOT COME THE NEXT. THIS BATHROOM HAS THE MAIN SHOWER IN THE HOUSE. THEY HAD NO REGARD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE. SO FAR, THEY HAVE PUT IN A TUB THAT THE PLUMBER WAS SUPPOSED TO SUPPLY. THEY PUT IN A FIBERGLASS TUB THAT I DID NOT WANT; I WANTED CAST IRON. WHEN THE CAST IRON TUB FINALLY CAME, 5 WEEKS LATER, THEY PUT A GASH IN THE WALL WHILE CARRYING IT IN. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAD TO BUILD UP THE FLOOR BEFORE LAYING CERAMIC TILE. ALL THE TILE IS BUTTED TOGETHER, IT WAS CUT WRONG. IT'S LIKE PATCHWORK. THIS HAS AFFECTED THE WORK OF EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED, INCLUDING THE PLUMBER. MURRAY NEVER SHOWED UP WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO AND NEVER WORKED FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR WHEN HE CAME. RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST SITTING THERE. I HAVE A SINK, TILE PARTWAY UP THE WALLS, THE SHOWER ISN'T HOOKED UP, AND I KNOW I HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE TILE RE-DONE.
