David R. Murphy Renovations is a sole proprietorship run by David Murphy out of 88 Scotland Rd in Reading, Massachusetts. The Better Business Bureau gives the business an A+ grade and lists 11 years in business; on Houzz, the company shows a 5.0-star average from one review, three listed projects, and general-contracting work that includes home additions, basement remodeling, and accessory dwelling units. A 2014 Houzz review recalls a homeowner who had wanted a second full bathroom added to a 100-plus-year-old home for 15 years and finally started meeting with contractors and designers that year. Houzz lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor license (CS-107809) and a New York license (NY 50777-H) for the company. Anyone hiring should verify current licensing directly with the state, confirm insurance, and get a written scope and price before work begins.
For 15 years we dreamed about adding a second full bathroom to our home. Over the years we came up with several of our own ideas of how to fit a master bathroom into our 100+ year old home. This year we were finally ready and we started meeting with contractors and designers. None felt like the right match until a friend recommended David, who added a bath and laundry room to her home, which was beautiful. He was willing to take on the whole project top to bottom, but we wanted to be pretty involved in the planning and with some of hands on work. He was our 'Spirit Guide' who also had tools and experience. David had a genuine, deep enthusiasm for helping us get something we have waited 15 years for. The outcome for this fantastic project is incredible to see. A bathroom that has everything we both wanted. From beginning to end our experience with David has been very positive. From creating our initial game plan for the project, making decisions together on the fly and seeing the awesome results of his hard work on a daily basis. We are so pleased with the outcome of this project and highly recommend him.
