I cannot say enough good things about Murphy Brothers and our experience with them. Their work was impeccable from beginning to end. Our home is over a hundred years old and they tackled all of the surprises it was hiding without flinching. They were a joy to work with and, best of all, we have a beautiful remodel that we have complete confidence was done correctly. Thank you Murphy Brothers!

from start to finish, every member of the Murphy Brothers team was a delight to work with. Each excels at their individual craft. When the final product came together it was a result that was greater than the sum of its parts. Thank you for the clear and consistent communication, attention to detail, reliability in meeting deliverables, and especially for keeping your client at the center of what you do.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The final outcome was better than I could have imagined on my own! The design suggestions and quality of work are outstanding.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - McKenzie (designer), David (PM), Earl (lead carpenter), and Lance (tiler) all deserve special recognition. They each excel at their individual craft, and when it came together was a result that was greater than the sum of its parts. Thank you for the clear and consistent communication, attention to detail, reliability in meeting deliverables, and especially for keeping your client at the center of what you do.

I had never done a redesign before but had heard horror stories about working with other firms. After we met with Murphy Bros. the first time, we knew we were going to get the bathroom we wanted and work with nice, helpful consultants.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Since we met with Kasey Birch first, I'll mention her. We had met with two other companies and their designers were not that helpful. Kasey had lots of ideas and was so pleasant, so we decided to work with Murphy Bros. We were very excited that Murphy has their own cabinet maker, too!

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We chose Murphy even though it was more expensive than our other two bids and it was well worth it. The other two companies said they would have to smash our existing tile to take out the vanity. Murphy Bros. was careful not to disturb the tile (which we really like) because they cared about what we wanted.

Murphy Bros. was great to work with.

We highly recommend Murphy Bros.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Murphy bros. exceed our expectations with their expertise when we ran into issues with moisture. First with bringing it to our attention, and then investigating and solving the issue. We were exceedingly happy with the carpenters, and sub contractors as they are truly skilled in what they do. It was fascinating to watch them put everything together to create our beautiful space.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - We would like to recognize the following for their exceptional service, Mark for his carpentry work, Tom for keeping the project on schedule, and Kimberli for her help with picking out the design finishes. We couldn’t be happier on how everything turned out. Also, we would like to recognize the hardwood floor installer and the tile subcontractor as we felt they did exceptional work.

Expertise

Expertise - Being a professional engineer in the commercial construction industry for many years, I very much appreciated the experience they presented in all areas of our project. They knew what they were doing, how to do it, provided good quality, and everyone we dealt with was professional.

Problem Resolution

Recommend Builder

Recommend Builder - I would use Murphy Bros again for any project we have and would recommend them to anyone who has a construction project.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Everyone we dealt with should be recognized. Jonah, Paul and Jon were the main people that were involved in our project, but the person(s) designing our project along with all of the people performing the work on site should be recognized as well. I don't remember all of the names so I won't attempt to put any names here. I would also add that Jonah, Paul and Jon along with everyone working on site was very friendly and communicated with us on questions and progress.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - The sub contractors that they hired to work on our project also had expertise and experience that worked well for our project.

We are very satisfied with our Murphy Express remodel. McKenzie, our project manager, was very professional and made helpful suggestions on granite choices and some of the fixtures. Granite and fixtures were all very high quality.

Communication

Communication - She kept us informed on scheduling and arranged for the crew to enter our home when we were out of town. This worked well with our schedule.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - David Betz, our project manager. I sent him a personal note after and said he never once failed to exceeded our expectations. He was just super and went above and beyond what I expected.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Jeff Robinson, David Betz, Earl, Carson, and Tyler. I would also like to recognize Mock. He came out with Jeff day 1 with the proposal. We didn't have communication with him after that, but he certainly presented the corporate image up front to make sure we were comfortable.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - It was a project that we were bummed about. It was a big project, but I wouldn't think twice about using Murphy Bros. again. We are very glad we went with them.

We used Murphy Brothers for a large porch addition to our home. We started with an old open deck, and had a vision for our dream three-season porch. It was a large project. The porch is 18x20', needed to be raised three feet to match our main floor level, includes completely new French door opening, a vaulted ceiling, full surround Sunspace 4-panel windows, and an outside deck area for the grill. We told them we wanted it to look like it was always there as a part of the original home, and they delivered - inside, outside and the roof line all look great. We also wanted the feel of being in a tree house when enjoying the porch, and that's exactly what we got. A couple other things we really appreciated were the clear constant communication, and how well they cleaned up the site during the entire duration of the project. Even the neighbors commented how impressed they were with their hard work and respect for the tight cul-de-sac neighborhood. A great team all around, but key were Jeff, our Design Consultant, David, our Project Manager, and Earl, our Lead Carpenter (a true craftsman). We are very happy with the end result, and highly recommend Murphy Brothers.

They were very easy to work with.

Overall Experience

Overall Experience - I worked with other companies for previous remodels. I wish I would have discovered you back then.

Areas Of Satisfaction

I was satisfied with the services I received from my remodel project. I appreciate them managing expectations throughout the process. When we encountered obstacles, they were quick to help solve the problem.

I am very happy with the work that everyone at Murphy Bros has done. The new kitchen looks just as it did in my mind’s eye and has delightful functionality. The team was easy to work with and very professional. I will definitely call Murphy Bros if we ever decide to remodel other parts of our house.

I already gave out Scott's Information to friends and Family.

Good communication. Good workmanship.

What was most important to us is that we found a company that could help us with ideas, was upfront with cost, and delivered quality work. All of those categories were met with Murphy Bros. Our experience took much longer than it should have and became emotionally draining, but that would not deter me from recommending them to a friend.

I was very pleased with all the workmanship. It was excellent.

Murphy Bros. Design | Build | Remodel provided outstanding quality and service!

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Scott Loso and Paul, our project manager, for their exceptional service.

We had a very positive experience completing our long over due kitchen project completed.

The work was done very well, but we had communication problems. It took a long time to get answers.

I'm mostly happy with the work that they did, but there was some things that were missed, resulting in me having to complete the work.

I think it would depend on the project. Overall, we were happy to work with Murphy Bros and were impressed with the team, but I think there were challenges with our project that may have been better suited to a different company. So I wouldn't hesitate recommending them based on the quality of work, design input, and work ethic of the team, but I do think the company has strengths and weaknesses depending on the project they are completing.

Unfortunately, my project did not experience the level of quality as described in many of these other reviews. Once work started almost every phase of the project had problems, in the items delivered and work performed. Ranging from minor corrections to major mistakes that had to be ripped out and redone. Most of this had to be pointed out and communicated by me. I’m fortunate to have some limited knowledge to do this, but I’m sure I missed some items. However, this is an unacceptable customer experience; as customers are novices and a main reason to pay a company to manage a project. Not to mention the extra personal time I had to contribute. In addition, while performing the work there was damage done to my brick exterior, wall damage when installing doors, and concreate pieces left all over my yard, to name a few. The lack of respect for my residence was disappointing.
I talked with John, the owner. Very disappointed. Everything had an excuse or passing the buck. No accountability or ownership of their role in this, the people they hired, and overseeing/management (or lack thereof) of the work performed. This company has received some recognition in the past, but nothing recent. I wonder if they are coasting on prior reputation. The billing rate this company asks demands a higher standard.
I had to find this survey/review site on my own. They said they would give me a survey to complete but never did. This feels like they are only actively asking for reviews on projects that go well and not a true sample.

Excellent design, workmanship, and project management!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Recognized Excellence - I would like to recognize Shawn.

We had a 3 season porch added during the COVID time. From working on a design to the completed project was a while because of COVID exposure from us to them, or just the people being sick. But, the project was GREAT from the helical footings to the gutters being installed to final inspection. Sure we all experienced the lag in supplies, especially in building materials. Scott L helped us navigate these supply issues and kept us abreast of shortages and provided alternatives that were viable and still looked great on the porch. Extremely trustworthy and reliable. I have never had carpenters that were able to hold such tight tolerances and actually provide 90 degree corners! They did! Mark, Sean are AWESOME carpenters. Scott in sales was the guy we trusted to help navigate what my wife and I wanted. Drew was instrumental in coordinating the delivery of supplies and manpower. Murphy Bros has become like family to us.

It was overall a very good experience working with Murphy Bros. My questions were answered promptly and in detail. Although there were delays in the project, but it's understandable given the circumstances.

Murphy Bros. were very easy to work with and very helpful.

From start to finish, Murphy Bros did a great job. During the design/estimate phase, David was very knowledgeable about different options and costs. During the construction phase, Tim did a great job communicating schedule and resolving any issues promptly. The final product is beautiful and we could not be happier.

High quality reliable company.

We appreciated the integrity of those we worked with at Murphy Bros. Our designer, Theresa, is so personable and easy to work with. She appreciated our historic house and understood our style. Tim, the project manager, made things happen, was honest, and knowledgeable.

We will not be recommending Murphy Bros due to the comments listed in the questions below.

I have already recommended Murphy Bros to a few friends to contact them to see if they are a good fit for their project when the time is right. Murphy Bros. plans out your project so you know what to expect. I really appreciated the staff that worked on my project. Drew, Shawn and Dan were wonderful to work with and answered any questions that I had and also helped me make decisions using their expertise.

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - They were very good with problem resolutions when they arose. Problems were resolved as soon as possible.

From the design phase to the completion of the project, we worked with very knowledgeable and competent people.

Murphy Bros. Remodeled my kitchen in 2015. I was so happy with their work I went right to them for my next project in 2022.

Too much for major things I'm very disappointed with. All my appliances are terrible!!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Scott and David and Taynia were great to work with!! However, I did not like the appliance company that we dealt with!

We already have, in fact twice during this project and this is our fourth project we have done with MB.

Communication

Communication - Our project manager Paul Brandt was outstanding. He is the individual that communicated with us continuously.

While we did have significant delays, that is not why I would shy away from recommending Murphy Bros to friends. We had many problems with ordering and scheduling. What was most unsettling about our experience is that when things went wrong (5+), more than three people lied to us about what was really happening in each situation. I can understand that it is human nature to try to lie and skirt past your mistakes. However, in a professional setting when a client is inviting people into their home, this is unacceptable. Be honest about why things aren't happening or are behind or don't work. We are still finding Murphy employees lying about the status of our jobs and we are in month five of what was supposed to be a two month job.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Design, day-to-day project management, on-site staff, and customer service were all phenomenal.

David was a very thorough project manager, communicating with me along the process. Our small remodel project was unique and David made several stops out to make sure all measurements and materials were the right ones for the job. He did a great deal of research to find us the right solution. Andy's craftmanship was excellent. The final project looks just like we hoped for. The refinishing of the kitchen cabinets was a challenge, but Murphy Bros paint staff made sure we were happy with the final product.

Scott and David both have great professional knowledge in remodels and dealing with insurance companies. I would just say they need to be a bit more organized in scheduling things and communicate with the people doing the work and the customer.

They did very professsional work.

We've hired contractors in the past to work on our home. This is the first time a contractor has exceeded our expectations.
