J. Murray & Sons Construction is a Somerville, Massachusetts general contractor working in home additions, basement remodeling and accessory dwelling units — the categories Houzz lists for the company, which also keeps a separate permit-history page on BuildZoom under East Weymouth. The public record here is thin. Houzz shows two projects, a pool house in Groton and a condo renovation in Brookline, but no customer reviews; BuildZoom carries a score of 0 and no reviews either. A 2014 Boston Globe profile of a Norwood couple's home restoration mentioned Jim Murray, described as running his own construction company, in connection with more than $250,000 of work on that property — an older mention of the person behind the business rather than an account of hired customer work. BuildZoom also lists an unverified Massachusetts plumbing business license under the company's name; it hasn't been checked against the state registry, and the business's own listed trade is general contracting rather than plumbing. There isn't yet a customer track record to lean on. Before booking, ask for recent references and proof of an active contractor license — neither shows up in the public record so far.
