Nathan Murray Renovations is an owner-operated contractor in Arlington, Massachusetts with 22 years of experience. The profile lists carpentry, framing, trim, decks, doors and windows, room remodeling, roof repair, skylights, and siding, and gives license numbers 143107 and 082902. The dated customer history is substantial in detail but old: ten five-star reviews from 2006 through 2008 across Angi and HomeAdvisor. Homeowners described careful preparation, punctuality, creative problem-solving when hidden defects surfaced, strong framing, and willingness to adjust as project scopes changed. One six-month addition project received praise from an inspector for its framing and tight construction, while the reviewer noted that finish skills still had room to improve. The profile states that Nathan uses subcontractors for electrical and plumbing, offers emergency services, and has no travel charges. Ask which license applies to the planned work, who will perform any electrical or plumbing scope, and for recent references, since the published reviews are from 2006–2008. The documented track record points to complex carpentry and remodeling work, especially framing and finish-related projects. Confirm current availability, trade coverage, and the present condition of the listed licenses before booking.

Nathan was punctual and professional, completed prep work correctly, and installed a large wooden plate for a TV stand.
Called Nathan and scheduled a time for him to come out and perform the work. He was punctual and professional as usual. He spent several hours working, making sure the prep work was done correctly. When he was done, the plumbers work would be very easy. Nathan installed a large wooden plate for which a TV stand would mount to on a wall.
Nathan adjusted as the scope changed, paid fine attention to detail, found creative solutions, and delivered quality framing to finish.
Nothing came very easy on this project. Nathan found himself constantly exposing previous shoddy work that needed to be fixed. I often changed the scope of work as things progressed and Nathan did not have any problem adjusting. He pays fine attention to detail and will not leave anything he was unsatisfied with. He came up with some creative solutions to work around some issues. I was pleased with the quality of work, from framing to finish, and the apartment looks great. He was pleasant to work with and is an honest, hard working contractor. I will be calling him back to do other work on my home.
Nathan worked through difficult winter conditions, handled existing problems, and impressed the inspector with the framing and tight addition.
