Our family has had two exceptional experiences with Murphy Bros. Construction over the past nearly 20 years. We first met John Murphy at the Minneapolis Home Show when we were looking to add onto our home, rather than move from our great neighborhood. We were put in contact with a home owner who had used Murphy Bros. for a project similar to the one we were considering. This home owner and the other references that John had put us in contact with, all sang high praises for Murphy Bros., their construction crew and the quality of craftsmanship they had provided.
Our first project that we embarked on with Murphy Bros.was a master bedroom suite above our garage.The 1000 sq. ft. addition included a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet, master bathroom that included double sink/vanity, walk-in shower and oversized soaking tub. The plans for the project were originally drawn up to include a very tall foyer to update the exterior of our 1960’s home. Halfway through the construction process, the crew lead, Rick, suggested that instead of making this massive foyer, that we might consider a more reasonably sized foyer and convert some of that extra space to include a nursery/office just a couple of steps up from the bedroom area. The insight and veteran experience of their crew leader was quickly realized and within a day, our great project turned into an amazing project! I can’t tell you how many times my husband and I have retreated to our master bedroom and said, the addition we had made with Murphy Bros., was one of the best decisions we have ever made!
Our second project with John Murphy and his crew, was a total basement reconstruction. In 2007 we discovered our original basement slab had collapsed due to an undiscovered rupture of our kitchen drain line leading to our homes main line. Years of water seeping into the ground supporting the concrete foundation led to the jackhammering and removal of the concrete slab, all of the walls and ceilings in our finished basement. The catastrophic and unexpected project was complicated and required skill and experience, again John and his crew came to the rescue. The restoration and update of our basement living area went smoothly, cleanly and without stress, again a testament to a construction company who have the experience and understanding of many years of great customer care.
Our two projects with Murphy Bros. have been very positive ones. They have been great taking care of warranty issues and really strive to make sure their customers are completely happy when the job is completed. From the front desk to the designers, to the onsite craftsman, the staff of Murphy Bros. Home Remodelers take pride in creating a home that their clients can live more comfortably in and will be proud to share with family and friends for years to come!!
