Had Murphy Construction out to do an estimate to add a front porch to our house. When Tim came out he was very professional. Said we would have a quote in about a week. I followed up and was told another day or so. A month later and still nothing. We decided to go with another local Angie list contractor.

Response from Murphy Construction Group LLC
I don't know where you came up with 40k on the quote I gave you. The quote I provided you was for $28,100.00. I believe your basement was roughly between 900 and 1000 square feet of space. I don't know where you came up with that number you stated. It's unfortunate we didn't get together on the project and I also hope your project went well with the contractor you chose. Respectfully, Tim Murphy

From start to finish the project was ahead of schedule. Crew was pleasant and rolled well with the few unseen circumstances like a dryer vent that needed moving and a misunderstanding about railings for the step. They responded beautifully in both cases and there were no added charges. We are very pleased.

Best contractor experience EVER. From start to finish, easy to get ahold of, honest and most important, RELIABLE. The work was top notch and they were flexible as we changed our minds and ran into unforseen issues. We also decided to recarpet part of the basement so they worked with us so we could paint prior to them putting down molding. Just remarkable customer service and professionalism. We will only use them in the future and I would wait for them. A few bucks less or quicker time is not worth some of the "issues" you can run into with others. Helped me carry some furniture in, hung a few things that we needed. Didn't pad the bill, and were very reasonable with the extras we encountered and fitting it in to their already crowded schedule as this was not anticipated by us or them. If you are looking for a contractor, stop now and call them. If you are checking them out because you got a recommendation, you are good to go. You won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: Tim and Brian provided an estimate to turn an existing wall into a half-wall, remove another wall and frame out and drywall an unfinished area. This included electrical, putting in some laminate flooring, some drop ceiling, prepping all walls for painting and baseboard throughout the entire basement. During construction, we decided to remove the entire wall (instead of making it a half) and put laminate down in the entire area (not just the new area). In addition, while pulling up carpet, we found mold and rot from a piping problem in the already finished bathroom. Murphy construction, repaired the plumbing, ripped out all the damaged wall and flooring and put the bathroom back together.

Tim and Brian are awesome, including their entire crew. They work hard, show up on time and do great work. They completely refinished our basement with new framing, drywall, electric, sub panel, lights, window, doors, trim, stair railings. It turned out better than we possibly could have imagined. Just great work. Price was great, good timing, complete trust. I can't recommend Tim enough. There wasn't a single up charge the entire project. This was by far the best contractor experience we have ever had. We will definitely use Tim again in the future.

Good, tidy crew, punctual, asked a LOT of questions as they went (always a good sign). Paid attention to detail..their roof penetration has been through some HEAVY rains without any leaks. What I'd do differently next time is follow the company's advice on their website and get the scope of work in writing, for our mutual benefit: some items originally quoted were added, others were dropped. At the end of the day I was satisfied, but final price needed to be negotiated..

The Murphy Construction Group LLC was engaged with us from our initial phone contact. Prior to the project started them meet with us multiple times to ensure that they captured our plans and they meet our requirements. Moreover, they took the extra step to be on site when the initial excavating was performed to make sure of the proper pool placement and followed with regular status calls so that they came in just-in-time, built the desk, added electric and made out back yard a summer success. As an added note of the Murphy Construction Group LLC professionalism, the team actually took extra time to address electrical issues we were having inside our home. They spent hours look for and replacing GFI failures. Again, they just went Above and Beyond! We can not say enough, what excellent Service Providers/Contractor these guys are... Highly Recommended!
Description of Work: Brian and Tim built our deck and installed electricity from the ground up and streamlined it into our pool. Their attention to detail was superior and the quality exceeded out expectations. I would recommend them to anyone for any general contracting projects of any nature. We will be using their services in the future and for years to come.
