We are very pleased with the quality and appearance of our remodeled condo. John did such a great job helping design the space and incorporating the ideas we had. We love our new space and know we will be enjoying living here for many, many years.

Murphy Bros. LISTENS to what you want, and thoughtfully educates you as to the best methods and materials to accomplish your goals. Then they do their very best to work with you to obtain your goals. Overall, Murphy Bros. employees and other contractors working with them are some of the nicest, most competent, hard-working people around. It's great to have work done well and to your specifications; it's even better when the folks doing it do it so well.

Comment Expertise St. Paul, MN Nov 16, 2011

Again, Todd Strot and his team fixed issues prior company had missed having to do with structural support of house. He also came out when project was finished and discovered an issue (nail pounded into radiator pipe) and had prior company not fixed, or if they had denied, he stated he would speak with them and explain situation.

Comment Budget St. Paul, MN Nov 16, 2011

Todd Strot handled all cost issues with insurance company, pointing out problems that original "estimator from American Family" had missed. He also found and fixed issue (a beam in kitchen) that prior construction company had missed. He allowed me to do painting so as to keep cost down. He explained costs very carefully when I asked for something not in original bid.

You may use any comments i've made and revise if necessary for grammar or style purposes. thank you again. I've worked with very high end builders and Murphy Bros is a huge step above rest.

Comment Recognize Excellence St. Paul, MN Nov 16, 2011

Todd Strot, reason i went with company and would do so again. He really knows the business.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction St. Paul, MN Nov 16, 2011

See above comments and Manager or whatever his title is, Todd Strot is absolutely great to work with, wonderful personality, takes time to explain what has to be done and why it has to be done. Is never pushy. Very professional and courteous and respectful and dormer is absolutely perfect, neighbors have commented that it fits house and should have been built in design Murphy bros came up with in the first place. Blends perfectly.

We have had other remodelers work on our 35 year old home over the years. This is the second time we have hired Murphy Brothers. You can have confidence in their employees and subcontractors to do excellent work with exceptional attention to detail. If there are any questions/concerns they are addressed promptly. It greatly reduces the stress of a remodeling project!

Comment Recognize Excellence Mounds View, MN Nov 03, 2011

Shawn, for his excellent work. Also appreciated Gail, the designer, whose guided me through the tile, floor, and other selections. Aaron the project coordinator was thorough, responded in a timely manner to my questions/concerns.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Mounds View, MN Nov 03, 2011

The carpenter, Shawn, was very detail oriented, precise, thorough, flexible, approachable, and polite. He did excellent work! All of the subcontractors were professional and good at what they did. The paint/stain department did an excellent job of matching up existing woodwork.

I was very impressed with the quality and professionalism of Murphy Bros. Everyone involved went out of their way to be helpful in ways that I felt were far beyond what was necessary. Well done, guys!

From the start of the project we felt we were in good hands. Cheri seemed to take extra time to really understand not only what we were looking for but also how to help us stay within budget. Her ideas really helped pull this together. The execution of the project all along the way was excellent and the quality of the tile and cabinetry work was beyond our expectations. When we get to our next remodeling project, we certainly know who to call and I'm sure there will be another project now that we have someone we can trust to do it right the first time.

Comment Recognize Excellence Plymouth, MN May 09, 2011

As mentioned earlier, Cheri, Aaron and the individuals who did the tile cabinetry work did a great job. We were very impressed and would recommend them to anyone.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Plymouth, MN May 09, 2011

We thought the tile work was outstanding and also felt that the design work was great and done very efficiently. The cabinetry work was also very very nice, better than we every anticipated. Cheri and Aaron were great through the complete process, excellent communication and always very timely with responses to questions and concerns.

We love everything about our remodeling project -- from the original planning meetings to the amazing work we watched during the project to the completed remodel. People routinely ask us how the remodeling went, and our response always is that we just couldn't find anything to complain about. The process and the result far exceeded our expectations.

We really appreciate your flattering remarks as we often have a hard time accepting that we are deserving of them.

Comment Recognize Excellence Coon Rapids, MN May 02, 2011

Todd and Gail gave us so many ideas. We really appreciated them, but Shawn was the most amazing craftsperson. We felt like he became a trusted friend. He is smart, talented, and resourceful. We missed him when the work was done.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Coon Rapids, MN May 02, 2011

Their ability to problem-solve and to give us ideas about possibilities made the whole project fun and successful. All of the workers sent to our house were respectful and genuinely pleasant to have in our home. The quality of the work was uniformly superior. The work took longer than we had originally expected, but any problems with that were alleviated by their constant communication with us.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction St. Paul, MN Jan 13, 2011

Beautiful craftsmanship. They were neat. The carpenter was very knowledgeable. I just felt good about the project. I knew the contractor.

Comment Punchlist Edina, MN Jan 06, 2011

we held up the punchlist process due to holidays. Prompt response on items. Gail did a nice job going through all the warranty items

Comment Communication Edina, MN Jan 06, 2011

Rick Fox is to be commended. Every time we called, Rick was always there or would promptly return the calls. Especially true during a surprise water leak after plumber left. Rick showed up on door step immediately. He goes above and beyond in his work. A pleasure to work with him.

Comment Budget Edina, MN Jan 06, 2011

although we would all like to pay less,there was one instance where we had some hidden work but the lead carpenter identified during inspection. Murphy did not charge us for the additional work. This has been true on another project as well. Thanks for the ease in these decisions.

Comment Recognize Excellence Edina, MN Jan 06, 2011

Rick Fox. Enough said.Gail Jacobson. Some added color suggestions near the end really added to our overall appearance. Well done. Gail is not afraid to offer opinions. Perhaps a little strong on her opinions at times, but I would rather hear them vs nothing at all. Previous project experience very evident as we tied all the plans together. That was very helpful in making the decisions easier.Sean- fantastic patience with other carpenter while trying to get his work done. Very skilled individual and a pleasure to be around. Would also bring Sean in anytime.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Edina, MN Jan 06, 2011

Rick Fox. We've had him on two projects. Always professional. Enjoyable to be around. Extremely knowledgeable. Several times came over to the house, especially when a water leak issue arose. Sean also did excellent work on the days Rick was not here. I believe on several days another carpenter was here with Sean learning some things. Sean was very patient with him. The process was slowed due to Sean supervising him as well as doing his own work. I was not comfortable with the expertise of this 3rd individual and would not be at ease with him on a job in my home working alone.

Comment Additional Comment Blaine, MN Dec 22, 2010

My mind is already thinking about the next project--either a kitchen or basement re-do. We will be calling Murphy Bros when we are ready to start.

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.

Important Information about choosing a Builder, Remodeler, or Contractor

It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.

Prospective customers should weigh a multitude of factors when choosing the right building company, and never depend on a single source when making their decision to purchase a home or hire a contractor.
