Project Summary
Nestled on the shores of Crooked Lake in Anoka County, this modest 1970s two-story was purchased by the son of owner John Murphy as a home to grow into. Ben Murphy, wife and teacher Lisa Murphy, fully accepted the challenge of remodeling this home with of course lots of help from Murphy Bros. Design| Build | Remodel.
“I think every homeowner that accepts the remodeling challenge feels at some point they have bitten off a bit more than they bargained for,” explains Ben Murphy, now the president of the company. “But that’s just the creative nature of remodeling. I would say I have an even better understanding of what homeowners go through now that I’ve done the exterior siding, insulation, laundry, entryway, bedrooms, fireplace, kitchen, and dining room not to mention a new interior hand-crafted custom ceiling.”
In this short Fall Remodelers Showcase Preview video Ben Murphy, President of Murphy Bros. Design Build Remodel, explains this 7-year-long remodel and what you can expect to see when you visit this home during the public tour this Sept. 29th, 30th, and October 1st.
