Decision panel
Should I call Murphy Bros. Design | Build | Remodel?
Good fit if
- You are planning a kitchen remodel or home addition and your home is in Plymouth, Minnetonka and Wayzata, which the firm names on its own site.
- You want a firm whose Minnesota DLI record read "Issued" when we looked (BC003416).
- You want to see the firm's steps before you call: its site describes a process.
Look elsewhere if
- Nothing on the pages we read rules out a kitchen or addition in the three cities we cover. That is not the same as a good fit, so compare the written bid.
What we do not know
- The smallest project it takes. No minimum is published.
- When it could start. No start date is published.
- Any completed project we could tie to a cost or a city.
- Whether it would take your project. We have not contacted the firm.
Three questions to ask this firm
- What is the smallest project Murphy Bros. Design | Build | Remodel takes? Tell them your budget first, since no minimum is published.
- When could you start a project like mine, and what has to be finished first (design, permits, cabinet orders)?
- Can you show me a finished kitchen in Plymouth and tell me what it cost?
What its own website says
Read on across 19 pages of the firm's site. These are dated facts from our disclosures study, not a score. Not found means not found on those pages, and the firm may say it elsewhere.
Its Minneapolis permits
The City of Minneapolis permit file, read on , shows 43 residential permits under this firm's names since 2016: 12 from 2023 to 2025, 14 described as kitchen work, the latest on Oct 21, 2026.
Minneapolis is not one of the three cities we cover, so this does not show work in your city. It shows only what a public record holds. See the permit record study for the match method and its limits.
Built from the sourced facts below and the disclosures study. It describes what the firm names and what is missing. It does not rate the firm, and no one at the firm has reviewed it. AI research draft, human review pending.

Memberships and awards the firm lists
- Published by contractor
The firm's own About page says it won the BBB Torch Award for Ethics in Business in 2017 and 2023. A search preview from a third-party site (not loaded) lists 2018 and 2023, so the years differ between sources.
Source · Checked · AI research draft, human review pending
Limits: Self-reported on the firm's site; the award was not confirmed on a BBB page. The year conflict is unresolved.
- Published by contractor
The firm's own site lists a Qualified Remodeler Top 500 Award for 2024, a Houzz Best of Service award, and a GuildQuality Guildmaster Award. These are listed without dates other than 2024.
Source · Checked · AI research draft, human review pending
Limits: Self-reported; not checked at the award issuers. Top 500 lists are based on company revenue, not customer satisfaction. Houzz and GuildQuality badges are tied to those platforms' review programs.
- Not independently verified
The firm's site does not state NARI membership. A NARI Cares link sits behind a Make-A-Wish badge only. NARI Minnesota's member directory was not loaded.
Source · Checked · AI research draft, human review pending
Limits: Absence from the firm's site does not show non-membership. NARI directory not checked.
Process and warranty the firm publishes
- Published by contractor
The firm's process page describes four stages: a free discovery meeting of about an hour, a design phase producing budget, plans, 3D renderings and selections leading to one building agreement, a delivery phase with an online schedule updated weekly, and a final walk-through that starts a limited warranty. It states no design fee amount and no fixed project duration.
Source · Checked · AI research draft, human review pending
Limits: Describes the firm's stated process only. Does not show what clients actually experienced, the warranty length, or what design work costs. The page's years-in-business figure is inconsistent (41 vs 43).
