He rejoined us in 2026 to reveal how the company is maintaining forward momentum with a new focus.“ I describe it as a repurposing of the company,” Steve explains.“ We’ re much more heavily biased towards quality remodeling, as opposed to concentrating on new construction. Our remodeling division is going from strength to strength.”

The popularity of Murray’ s remodeling offering reflects the demand by consumers for high end remodeling service providers currently lacking in the market.“ Post-Covid I realized buyers were purchasing existing properties- not looking to tear them down but wanting a new high-quality kitchen or bathroom. They needed an experienced partner they could trust, with the scale, processes, and in-house design skills that smaller owner-driven businesses just didn’ t have, but Murray does.”

Focus on technology

Now incorporating its own cabinetry company, Magnolia Cabinet Co, and Bespoke interior design services, Murray’ s integrated approach means that clients benefit from its ability to control timelines much more tightly, reach decisions faster, and manage costs more precisely.“ Everyone in the process is in-house, and we sit down as a collective on behalf of the client,” Steve says.“ As a result, we can get from opportunity to signature to permit a lot faster. We are much more practically focused in terms of time, money and process, rather than simple aesthetics.”
