The Murphy Group

The Murphy Group is a family-run general contracting shop in Concord built around one person: the company's own site says Charlie Murphy stays personally involved on every job and trains the carpenters and helpers himself. Multiple directories — HomeAdvisor and Angi among them — list it as veteran-owned, and Better Business Bureau traces the business, run under Charles Murphy as Murphy Carpentry & Contracting, back to 1979. The two reviews on file both describe finished, well-managed projects. A 2026 Google review praised close attention to detail on a deck built to integrate a new above-ground pool. Earlier that year, in a February 2026 review, a bathroom-renovation client wrote that the crew kept the site clean and stayed in touch throughout, calling the result something they'd hire the company for again. Houzz lists an NKBA certification alongside seven past projects, and BuildZoom's page for the company shows 186 listed projects with a BuildZoom Score of 95 — a far larger body of finished work than the handful of written reviews would suggest on their own. Houzz, Angi, and HomeAdvisor all cite the same Massachusetts CS license number, 091083, matching the number on the company's own site. Worth knowing before calling: the written review count is thin — just two on file — even though the platforms show slightly different star averages (a 4.0 on Houzz against 5.0s elsewhere) from what appears to be the same small handful of ratings. For a bathroom, kitchen, basement, or deck project with a small, owner-led crew, this looks like a solid regional option — worth asking to see more of that larger project history directly, since most of it isn't reflected in written reviews yet.
