Meet the Business Owner

John M.

Business Owner

Born in Wisconsin in 1962, John spent much of his early years working on a family dairy farm. There he gained a strong work ethic and at the age of 16 painted his first house.

John Michaels Decorating was established in 1989. Initially doing straight painting and wallpaper hanging, John quickly learned the finer points of the painting business through his association with the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA.)

John discovered the art of faux and decorative painting in the mid. 1990’s while working on a showcase house for charity. The showcase was filled with faux and decorative painting. This was the inspiration which began John’s pursuit of decorative arts, which has become his lifelong passion.
