History
Started in Arizona, Michael's Restorations and the Martell family have been in the furniture/wood restoration business for over 55 years. Michael's Restorations was originally opened by Michael Martell Sr. in the early 1980's. Mike's second son, Matthew, worked with his father as a young boy and spent summers helping strip and sand furniture and learn basic repairs to help earn money for his passion-dirt bikes. This part time summer work did not immediately turn into an obvious career path for Matthew but, in time it would present itself as an opportunity that once seized, would turn into a new life and a second chance for the company his talented father had started over 15 years prior. Matthew gave a new life to Michael's Restorations in 1994. He worked with his father, Michael, and was trained in the restoration techniques that had been passed to Michael. Michael's now operates in 4 states and is still growing.
