Paul Murphy Bathroom remodeling review:
Summary: 5 out of 5! I would highly recommend Paul Murphy Bathroom Remodeling and use him again without even calling another person. Price was very reasonable and quality incredible and detail oriented. Paul and his crew were courteous and the house was kept clean from beginning to end, and the bathroom itself was spot cleaned before they finished. Paul and his crew were incredible communicators throughout the project, keeping me up to date and staying on schedule, texting me their ETA and informing me if they would be even 30 minutes late. In short, I have NO complaints about Paul, his crew, the price, the work, the communication, the cleanliness, the quality... only raves!
Detailed review: I had my bathroom remodeled by Paul and his crew of Joe, Vito and Oscar in March 2026. I wanted it gutted top to bottom, tub to studs to ceiling. Paul helped me select sizes and styles, and was available throughout the buying stage for phone consultations. Even while I was at the store shopping! The bathroom took 3 weeks to remodel and the work was so detailed oriented, I was never bothered by the time it took. As for cost, I met with several contractors and 1-week bathroom remodelers. Paul was similar or perhaps a bit cheaper, but when I see how much detail he put into the project, to complete this project in one week would have meant a lot of shortcuts or lack of attention to details.
Paul and Joe spent the first week tearing everything down, smoothing, prepping, fixing any rot, installing the new tub, making sure the footprint lined up with what I envisioned, keeping me informed the whole time. Vito and Oscar came in on week two to lay the tile. Again, taking great care to do exacting work, informing me of their timetable and suggesting changes to my original plan. Large and hard to clean grout lines was a big concern of mine and the reason I was considering the one-piece bathrooms remodels. However, despite how nice the one-piece shower installs can look today, they always had a "hotel bathroom" look about them. In the end, the bathtub wall tiles and the wood-looking tiled floor looks so contemporary and have very narrow grout lines; I'm very pleased. A lack of smoothness in the ceiling and fit where the vents are situated in my bathroom have irked me for years. These are finally also fixed! On week three, it was mainly just Joe doing all the install and electrical work. He worked hard and carefully, and left NO scratches on any of the new pieces. Joe felt like part of the family while he was here (my dog sure liked him! She would hang out by the door while he was working and try to go inside if he left it open while working). Joe also meticulously painted the walls, molding and vanity, and repaired and repainted any dents that appeared on both sides of the wall. My bathroom ended up needing an extra day to add some late arriving pieces, and Paul and Joe have worked with my schedule to come back and finish, with no complaints or extra charges. I like the fact that Paul and his team do only bathrooms, and schedule the crew to do one phase of the job per week, so they know ins and outs and are not rushed, and they don't start ridiculously early in the morning! Paul suggested a number of changes to my design based on experience in bathrooms remodeling, making the project even nicer than I imagined. I'm 100% pleased with the work from beginning to end! read more
