The Journal News - Real Estate Section Article: "It looks like $1 million" by Noreen Seebacher |
|
Having $1 million to spend—just for remodeling—has
its advantages. You get extensive attention to detail, only the highest quality
materials and state-of-the art design and equipment. But the best reward may be
what you can't see. "It's the 'wow' factor," explained Jake Schneider, project
manager for Murphy Brothers Contracting Inc. in Larchmont. The company specializes
in high-end remodeling: projects with budgets in the $1 million to $3 million range.
The wow factor is the ability to provoke the envy of friends and relatives when
they see your finished project. It's the intangible sense of awe resulting from
both your good taste and your good fortune—something every homeowner longs to
create with a well-done remodeling job." Read more... |

|

ceilings) or major structural damage right down to the foundation of the house. Read more... |

Remodelling Magazine "Poetry in Motion" by Linda Case |
|
Sometimes a few choice words say it all. Take the case of
the first three verses of the poem shown on the right. A client wrote the poem in
praise of Sean and Christopher Murphy, owners of S&C Murphy Contractors,
Larchmont, N.Y. The deep appreciation expressed—and the work involved in writing
such a tribute—is impressive. Clearly this is not the way clients respond to
mediocre performance. Whatever the Murphy brothers did on that job was five star
and personally endearing. If I were considering using them for my project, after
reading that poem, I'd be a pushover. Read more... |
