A genuine collaborator who turns renovation ideas into results — with 20+ years of project management discipline behind every job.

Dave Murphy — David R. Murphy Renovations

Hi, I'm Dave.

Although I typically operate as a 'general' contractor, what I really offer is a genuine interest in collaborating with you. There are lots of ways to get things done. I enjoy developing the alternatives based on your objectives and constraints.

Ideas are free and limitless. I enthusiastically bridle those ideas into a successful plan, then execute to deliver results. We have many, many satisfied customers are happy to provide strong, favorable references — and I'd love to add you to that list.

Before entering the construction field in 2005, I spent over 20 years as a project manager and director at large software companies — Lotus Development, IBM, and Rational Software. That background means I bring real discipline to estimating, scheduling, and communication. Your project won't drift.
