Testimonials From Clients:
Eisner Murray’s professionalism, attention to detail, dedication to the project and quality of work in constructing our cottage were first rate and went beyond our expectations. They were and absolute pleasure to deal with and we would not build or renovate another home without them.
Sandra Forbes and Stephen Grant
We built a very contemporary architectural home which we could not have done without the collaboration expertise and professionalism of Eisner Murray. They clearly stand out in what is a small group of top quality professional builders in Toronto.

Eisner Murray have worked diligently and in a most detail oriented fashion over the course of 3 years in constructing our project combining a multitude of national and international trades as well as diplomatically collaborating with both Canadian , as well as a New York based architect and decorator.
Their patience and desire to achieve perfection in the most minute detail are unparalleled and it is those last few details of any project that are being either happily remembered or loathed by every client.
Eisner Murray’s hands on approach and active job site participation from initial excavation until the project is truly complete have in our case resulted in a happy construction experience and a home we love.
Even the unavoidable minor tweaking several months after the job is complete has been taken care of in a prompt, reliable and perfectionist fashion and I would therefore only build with Eisner Murray in the Greater Toronto Area.

Our construction project was highly complex. It involved stripping a 70-year old Georgian structure to the studs and building a totally new home from the inside out.
The project was made more complicated by the contemporary design and the involved detailing that is the hallmark of the architect. The project took three years from inception to completion and it was essential to have a builder who had the experience to effectively manage the process and deliver the project on time and on budget. Together with the architect we interviewed five of the most highly regarded builders in the GTA, and chose to hire Eisner Murray. Their knowledge, experience, professionalism and reputation for straight dealing and frankness were what attracted us to them. While complicated construction projects can be a nightmare, ours was a pleasure.
I worked closely with Eisner Murray throughout the project to ensure that it was built cost-effectively and on budget. Their ability to manage the architect, find ways to save money, and know which trades are most appropriate for certain jobs, was essential to the process. We couldn’t have been happier with their performance and the outcome. Additionally, Eisner Murray has provided excellent service to us in the years since we moved into our home.
They are as responsive and helpful today as they were when the project was in the midst of construction. I am delighted to recommend Eisner Murray without reservation.

Steven Murray and Steven Eisner run their business according to the highest moral standards and stringent business principles. They came in on time and on budget just as previous clients told me. There were no cost over-runs, no surprises. We were apprised of all sub-contracted work in advance and were given excellent advice within which to make these decisions as the project went along. We, like the 5 other clients who we contacted before making the decision to hire Eisner Murray, recommend them without hesitation.

Dealing with Eisner Murray is a wonderful experience. During Construction, their attention to detail and their desire to satisfy our wants and needs greatly exceeded our expectations. Amazingly, the fantastic service we received while building has continued to this day. In short, they delivered and continue to deliver what they promised. Building our home has been a terrific experience. Unfortunately, we are now not able to share in general contractor jokes with our friends!

They are honest and fully transparent in all their dealings with architect, client and sub-trades. They possess enormous practical skills; both Steve Murray and Steve Eisner are “doers”.
