We've had Chesapeake Deck and Home complete several home projects for us in the last year. My husband and I have been thrilled by the results each time.  Bryan and his team exemplify professionalism.  They're there when he says they'll be there and they get the project done right.

Bryan Murray and Chesapeake Deck and Home designed and built our "in-law" addition.  The experience couldn't have been better!  It all went pretty much exactly as Bryan stated (cost and project length).  We never had any trouble reaching him when needed, and he was so agreeable regarding numerous questions or our last minute changes.  He was very respectful of the fact that we needed to live around his construction site.  Most importantly, Bryan did what he said he would do and always went the extra mile to do things right.  We have the utmost confidence in his work, and wouldn't hesitate to contact him for any future projects.

Dear Bryan,
I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful work you did on my new guest bathroom.  As you know, I was horrified to realize 8 weeks before Thanksgiving that my guest bathroom had a leak, the floor was rotted through and the walls were moldy!  Since I was expecting a stream of out of town visitors I needed to get that bathroom fixed before Thanksgiving.  I immediately gave you a call and thankfully you were able to squeeze me in about three weeks before Thanksgiving.  It was amazing what you were able to accomplish in such a short time - and the sub-contractors you worked with were great too - I finally know why my master bath toilet doesn't flush right!  The whole bathroom came together so quickly and I know that it was done right - the quality of your work and the materials you use are excellent, but not exorbitant!  Also, I so appreciate the artistic perspective you brought to the project.  I remember you asking what layout I wanted for the floor tile and the shower tile.  If I had known exactly what I wanted that would have been a perfect question, but since I didn't, I appreciated your input when I responded "What do you think?".  All my visitors have been extremely complimentary about the tile work and layout.  I just love it.
 Thank you so much for your great work on this project.  Rest assured that I'll be contacting you again with the next home or deck/yard project I conceive.

Over the past three years, Bryan and Chesapeake Deck and Home have completed several projects in my home including completely renovating my basement into a beautiful game room which included hardwood flooring, tiling, installation of a bathroom along with a stunning cherry cabinet wet bar. The design allows the room to be easily converted to guest quarters as well.  Chesapeake Deck and Home is a "one stop" operation.  Bryan masterminded the complete project from beginning to end...he designed, coordinated plumbers and electricians and engineered to perfection.  His flexibility and professionalism exceeded all my expectations.  I would recommend Chesapeake Deck and Home highly without any reservations.

Bryan has completed two major projects for me.  The first was finishing off my basement and the second was to replace my deck.  In both instances, the finished product was outstanding!  He is fair and reasonable.  I trust him and his work and I fully intend to have him complete future home projects for me.

Chesapeake Deck and Home has done 2 major projects for us, 1 exterior and 1 interior.  Chesapeake Deck and Home built our deck about 7 years ago and it was the first time we contracted with Bryan Murray.  To this day, we have had absolutely zero problems with the deck.  Many of the little issues that often pop up over the years with most projects are non-existent for our deck and we absolutely love it.  Chesapeake Deck and Home completed the project ahead of schedule and the price was right, but more importantly the end result was beyond expectations.  The next time we hired Chesapeake Deck and Home was back in the summer of 2009....this time to completely "gut" and remodel a full upstairs bathroom. Chesapeake Deck and Home provided great care during the full demolition of the old bathroom to finishing off the final touches of the remodeled bathroom.  Chesapeake Deck and Home also provided timely suggestions during various aspects of the project and assisted us with design solutions. The greatest endorsement I can provide is by our actions of hiring Chesapeake Deck and Home to do a second project.  I would hire them again and would suggest Chesapeake Deck and Home for any project, regardless of the size or location of the project.

I want to thank and compliment Bryan Murray of Chesapeake Deck and Home for the excellent work he did on my mother's home in Rockville, Maryland. A few years after my father died, my mother was placed in assisted living. Our family home had been neglected for years and had been vacant for over two years. I called Bryan and explained to him the projects, work and repairs that had to be done to her house before we put it up for sale. We live about an hour away and it was often difficult for us to get to the house and the local store for supplies and equipment. He was amazing to work with and helped us in all aspects of the job. He communicated with us on a regular basis to figure out the work, helped to design the new patio, gave us excellent suggestions for work that was cost efficient, and helped to repair many things in the house. He picked up our doors for us (and saved us a long trip), he hauled things for us on his own time, and when there were things to repair, he did it on his own. What a blessing! Our family cannot thank him enough for the time, dedication, patience and effort that he spent with us and on the house. His work is meticulous and he takes the time to pay attention to all the details. He treated us as part of his family and gave us advice on many things. I highly recommend him and trust him to do an excellent job with whatever project he undertakes.
