What our customers are saying about us

Alain & Lucinda B.

on worked with us to excavate and dredge a large pond on our property. He was professional, on time, on budget, responsive and reliable. Now, thanks to Jon, we have been able to stock our pond with trout and swim in it from a deck. We have a nice beach too! We highly recommend Jon and his crew.

Paul & Susan

Jon Murphy of Murphy & Son Construction helped take our property from an empty hillside to a working horse farm. While not an ideal site for our ambitions, Jon was able to put in a driveway, excavate for our four stall barn, build a riding/carriage driving arena and clear away some trees and foliage that was at risk of falling on the house. In spite of the extreme weather our area has suffered since we moved here, our facility has remained damage-free. We found Jon and his staff to be friendly, prompt in their work and on budget. We would absolutely use Jon again and highly recommend him.”

Fred & Lisa S.

Jon Murphy is extremely ethical, highly articulate in his work, and provides excellent suggestions based on his extensive experience. Throughout the project, Jon was always on time and kept in constant communication, ensuring that everything went smoothly. Even when we weren’t present for the spa delivery, Jon made sure a team member was there to meet the delivery company, which exemplifies his dedication to customer satisfaction.

Amy B.

Jon is excellent at making recommendations for the best possible way of doing any project. While many equipment operators may leave a project looking very rough, Jon has always been very thorough in making sure it is restored to original or better condition. I highly recommend him.

Adam’s Von R.

Jon and the team at Murphy & Sons have done a number of projects for us over the last few years including land clearing and grading, a new house foundation, and driveway construction and repair. They’re skilled operators who clearly take pride in their work. Jon has offered a number of great suggestions that hadn’t occurred to me. They’ve been great to work with and I can’t recommend them enough.

Jason S.

Murphy and Sons helped us over multiple years do a wide variety of excavation projects on our 300+ acre estate including foundations, roads, a bridge, septic systems, ponds, and forest management. They use modern equipment and methods to ensure precise results and are reliable, easy to work with, and knowledgeable about permits and rules to get the job done in Vermont. We would work with them again and highly recommend them to others.
