Murphy Homes was founded as Murphy Construction by Joe Murphy in 1974. Joe was born in New Jersey to a family of construction workers and business owners. He moved to Alabama in the 1960’s to work in the Civil Rights Movement. Joe fell in love with the vibrancy and potential of Huntsville, AL and started a construction company with the same focus on improving society he brought to his efforts with the Civil Rights Movement. Murphy Homes was started with a nailing apron and a panel truck. Joe grew the company through the 1980’s and 1990’s while raising a family with his wife, Jeff Murphy, an influential History Teacher at Huntsville High School. During this time, Murphy Homes developed neighborhoods and built homes throughout North Alabama. They also developed their “Your Builder” reputation for Relentless Focus on Customer Service, Quality Construction, and Community Engagement.
