After graduating with a Technical Diploma in Forest Engineering, I then finished University in Northern BC with a Degree in Forestry, I eventually earned my Professional Forester designation and began my career as a Forest Engineer on Vancouver Island. During the many years of working for the industry, I acquired a great appreciation for wood working and ultimately started a small business on the side where I tried to perfect the art of cabinetry and custom designed furniture.
Over the years while working in Forestry, I lived in many small towns throughout the province and in homes that were in serious disrepair. Never been one to trust others with my high standards, I eventually acquired all the necessary skills to do things such as all forms of tiling, renovating bathrooms and kitchens, building decks and stairs etc. No doubt my knowledge and skills acquired in fine woodworking have been put to good use as I transitioned into the world of home renovations.
Project timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the renovation smaller projects such as bathrooms may take a couple weeks, while larger home renovations can take several months.

Posted on Google K OxleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J. Murphy’s just completed a walk-in shower renovation for me and I am so pleased with it. Everything went smoothly, it was done quicker than I thought it would be, and they kept me informed through every step of the process. Tom, the Project Manager, didn’t even seem bothered by my many emails asking questions. 😊 I would highly recommend them for your projects too.Posted on Google Laurie RichardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first hired James and his team to put a kitchenette in our basement. Right from the start, the entire team was great to deal with--very professional, skilled, conscientious, and detail-oriented (for someone who is a bit of a perfectionist, this was really appreciated). At the start of the job, James discovered a serious problem unrelated to the installation of the kitchenette. He and his team took on the unanticipated repairs at an extremely busy time for them. They were fantastic and the end result is exactly what we imagined. I would highly recommend James and his team for any project! They are exceptional! I recently moved to a new place and reached out to James once again, this time for a tiling project in a chevron pattern for the recesses beside our fireplace. The young man he sent was an absolute artist, completing the job exactly as I envisioned it. James’ team is multi-talented and able to take on any project.Posted on Google Craig TuftsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James gave us good ideas and options to consider, a good price, and delivered quality work, at the price promised for a major bathroom renovation. His project manager, Tom, was a pleasure to work with.Posted on Google Dale FreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second job that J. Murphy has done for our household. They do Very Professional work in a Reasonable Time period. Dale Frey.

We have hired James for four separate projects now, and he continues to exceed our expectations. He just finished replacing our old deck and doing a full renovation of our garage, and the transformation is incredible. James is unique because he truly cares about the quality of the build and ensuring we are happy with every detail. He makes sure that his crews on site are respectful and clean up after themselves which I've always really appreciated. We are already looking around the house trying to decide what we can have him work on next!Posted on Google S NeilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are reading reviews looking for a contractor, then you are so lucky to have found J Murphy’s Contracting! Look no further. J Murphy’s Contracting (James) had renovated two bathrooms of neighbours and were very happy with the results. I am a 61 year old woman who has NEVER done a reno. I have no DYI skills and was terrified of doing a reno. After living in my townhome for 20 years it was in desperate need of an update and repairs. James listened carefully to what I wanted. Due to my lack of knowledge he would provide suggestions, especially when it came to priorities and how to get the biggest bang for my buck as I’m retired on a fixed budget. I had my kitchen and bathroom gutted and reno’d. All the floors were changed and the wall, doors and ceiling were painted. I had new light fixtures installed as well as new bathroom sinks and quartz countertops in all bathrooms. James provides a detailed payment scheduled based on milestones. Other than a small deposit, you don’t pay James until the milestone is reached. That offered me such peace of mind. I don’t know how he does it but if you need to contact him he is there. He responds to texts in second/minutes. He has answered my calls when away at a sporting function. James is there for you when you need him. His employees and subcontractors are very skilled and helpful. I had all the help I needed in making design choices and I needed a lot of help as I was new to everything. Everything is complete. A couple of very small things needed tweaking and James had it taken care of right away. I feel so fortunate that I found him as my Contractor.Posted on Google Maria SurduTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James renovated all our 3 washroom and his work was seamless. We knew he was a true professional from the way he sent us the initial price offer and how he broke down the cost of each part of the project. Whatever we dreamed of he made it happen, and one of the projects required quite a change in the structure. We are extremely happy with his work, washrooms are still our favorite spaces in the house :) and we are looking forward to work with him again.Posted on Google Valeriu SurduTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A Seamless Second Renovation with a Stunning Curbless Shower After the incredible experience I had with James Murphy Contracting (JMC) on my first bathroom renovation, I didn't hesitate to bring them back for a second project in the same home. This time, I wanted to incorporate a modern curbless shower, and once again, JMC delivered beyond expectations. From the initial consultation, the team understood my vision and offered insightful suggestions to enhance both the functionality and style of the space. The curbless shower was a key feature, and its execution was flawless. It not only has a sleek, contemporary look but also improves accessibility and ease of use. The craftsmanship remained top-notch, with precise tilework, seamless plumbing, and thoughtful design choices throughout. The team maintained clear communication and stayed on schedule, just like the first time. Their consistency and professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I'm thrilled with the outcome of this second renovation. The new bathroom feels like a luxurious retreat, and the curbless shower is a standout feature that I now can't imagine living without. Thank you again, JMC, for your dedication to excellence. You've truly transformed my home.

Every detail was meticulously handled, from the tilework to the plumbing, resulting in a bathroom that exceeded my expectations in terms of both functionality and aesthetics. Timely Completion: JMC was committed to delivering the project within the agreed-upon timeline. They kept me updated on the progress, and the project was completed on schedule. This reliability was greatly appreciated, as it minimized any inconvenience to my daily routine. Post-Project Clean-Up: Upon completion of the renovation, the team cleaned up the worksite thoroughly. I didn't have to worry about any mess or debris left behind, allowing me to enjoy my new bathroom immediately.
