matt understands and values design – his suggestions for how to improve a project are always thoughtful, as they are based on his rich understanding of materials and construction. i consider the projects that we worked on together as collaborations, and i’m optimistic that the future will bring many more.

we strongly recommend murdoch builders for any home project. having had matt and his staff perform a near entire renovation of our 1920's mount pleasant row house, we've had the pleasure of seeing matt's magic firsthand.

as owners of a 1909 capitol hill rowhouse which, at the time we purchased it, had never been updated and was in poor condition, we have worked with many contractors and trades people.  without question, murdoch builders has been far and away the best of them all--it is really not even close.

throughout the course of the renovation, mr. murdoch was a consummate professional.  he was accurate in his initial assessment of the scale and cost of our project.  he was absolutely clear in his record keeping and time log.  he chose and managed the sub-contractors well.

my only regret about working with matt is that his schedule is usually filled months in advance. when i decided to renovate the second bathroom, i was unable to get a slot on his schedule until much too far in advance and i ended up having to hire someone else. while i was initially unhappy at not being able to work with him again, it is a testament to matt's work ethic that he sticks with a job until it's done -- and done well -- rather than rushing from one job to another and filling in here and there.
