Martin and his team were extremely professional, their work was excellent and I recommend them to anyone thinking of a renovation in the area. In particular, Martin was always easy to get in touch with, the team always showed up on time, and the finished product looked amazing. Every day before leaving the guys spent some time cleaning up, and before the project was finished, we did several walk-throughs to ensure any touch ups were completed. We look forward to doing more projects with Martin in the future. **★★★★★ — Nu Interiors, May 2016** > I have hired Murphy General Contractors to complete work on my own home, where we completed an entire home renovation, as well as recommended MGC to multiple clients in the area. The results have been amazing. MGC knows how to achieve timelines, quality and on budget. **★★★★★ — design908, April 2016** > We have hired Murphy General Contractors to undertake a number of projects in our 1923 home in South Orange, including remodeling multiple bathrooms and painting the interior and exterior of the house. Martin and his foreman, Carlos, are extremely professional. The team is skilled in a variety of trades. Martin and Carlos were on site every day and delivered the projects on time and on budget. On all of my projects, they made helpful suggestions for keeping costs under control, maintaining the historical integrity of the home, and making improvements that were likely to appeal to future buyers. I have hired a number of contractors for my home and business over the years, and the Murphy team far exceeds the norm in terms of quality and professionalism. **★★★★★ — CBH Architects, July 2015** > I have now completed 5 projects with Murphy Construction ranging from kitchen renovations to large additions. Martin and his crew are a pleasure to work with. Their craftsmanship (tiling, carpentry, millwork) is excellent. They are consistently able to deliver projects in tight deadlines and will work extended hours/weekends, etc. to complete projects in a timely manner. I will continue to recommend Murphy Construction to my clients. ## Selected projects - [Mid-Century Classic Ranch Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-classic-ranch-renovation-pj-vj~1379464) - Location: South Orange, NJ - Photos: 16 - [South Orange Mid-Century Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-orange-mid-century-residence-pj-vj~663483) - Location: South Orange, New Jersey - Photos: 18 - [Maplewood Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maplewood-addition-pj-vj~1197623) - Location: Maplewood, NJ - Photos: 6 - Description: Additions added in Maplewood, NJ including renovated living room, kitchen and deck.
