• “Murray Masonry & More rebuilt three of our chimneys and put down a new brick patio. Their work was on budget and on time. They were also very responsive to any questions or issues we had. I would recommend them.” – Bill
• “We contracted with Murray Masonry & More after speaking with 4 potential masons to repoint our 1840 brick building.  Brendan was very well versed in the issues of historical brick and was willing to spend time educating us about the proper process and materials.  We felt his pricing, although not the lowest, was in line with other masons that worked on historical structures.
  
  He was thorough in his assessment of the building, timely with his quotes.  His crew started the job on time and completed it in the expected timeframe.  His crew was neat and respectful of neighbors.  The job, which was to completely repoint one section of the building and rebuild one chimney, was done with excellent workmanship.  The old mortar was completely removed to 1", broken bricks replaced with near identical ones.  The result is impressive.
  
  I have also seen other buildings and paving he has worked on in the area that also demonstrate the company's skill.
  I would recommend Brendan and Murray Masonry and More to anyone who needs repointing or any building masonry as well as paving driveway/patio paving with brick/cobblestone.” – Carol
• “Murray Masonry & More did an excellent job repairing our building's 79-year-old brick facade and installing a chimney cap as well. Brendan is an excellent communicator. He showed up when promised, and the final price included no unexpected extras. I would use his services again.” – Timothy, Cabot Heritage Corporation

• “Hello Brendan:
  I want to thank you for the fine repointing job on my building at 216 Essex Street. Your team did an excellent job at matching the colors of the mortar and insuring the integrity of my 200 year old brick building is maintained. The work is excellent and looks like a new building!
  It was a pleasure to communicate with TJ as manager on the job and he worked with us to insure the least possible interruption to our business operations. I certainly will be calling on you for any additional work I have on my building. You have a solid team with excellent skills. I would be happy to speak to anyone about you work and would be happy to highly recommend your work.
  
  Best of luck in your future jobs.
  Warm regards,
  Robert T. Lutts, President and Chief Investment Officer

• “Brendan Murray and his crew did a great job from start to finish. I needed an old cement walkway and steps removed, and replaced with granite and brick. I got four estimates for this job. After meeting with Brendan Murray, I realized there is more to the job than the final price. From the start, Brendan took the time to listen to what I wanted, offering ideas and options for the project. From demolition, site preparation, and finish work, every one of his crew members was a pleasure to work with. They were friendly, courteous, and on time each step of the way. I have lived here in my hometown for over 50 years and have dealt with many contractors. Murray Masonry & More is easily one of the best. The finished job is beautiful and well built. I would not hesitate to use Murray Masonry again.” - Sid

• “Hi Brendan,
  
  Everything looks great here… I'm very happy with the work… I really like the back courtyard area that you guys put in, much better than what we had before. Thanks for all your help. I'd be happy to act as a reference in the future if you ever need one.”  - Matthew
• “Dear Brendan,
  
  I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am, not only with the backyard patio you created for me recently, but with the skill and professionalism exhibited by you and every one of your workers. I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience, and look forward to doing more work with you in the future.
  
  I am especially impressed with the way you communicated with me about the progress. We had some wet weather along the way and then discovered rather massive holes in the house's foundation---both completely unexpected---but you remained in regular contact with me, providing updates on progress and suggested solutions to the foundation problem. You have no idea how much this was appreciated. Whenever I called or emailed, you were quick to get back to me, something that was very important to me as a customer.
  
  Thanks to you and your staff, I now have a beautiful---and much used---patio, AND an end to the water and fat little rats that were getting into the basement through the foundation!
  
  I will recommend you to everyone I know, and look forward to doing some of the other projects we discussed at some point in the future.
  
  With deep thanks” – Margo

  I am very pleased with the job. Looking at the window installation, I think by spring we won’t even be able to tell there was ever a door there. Well done.The double opening looks great also…  Again I am very pleased with the work. You’ll have my recommendation if anyone asks.” – James
