Martin Bros. history
Martin Bros. company history timeline
Two brothers, Roy and Glen Martin, founded Martin Bros. out of a garage with a modest investment and a whole lot of heart and hard work. It all started over 80 years ago, in 1940.
Founded on February 15, 1965 by brothers Nelson and Virgil Martin; the brothers had been working for another builder that specialized in building high-end custom homes, when they decided to venture out on their own.
Jeff Martin started out in the summer of 1976 (at the age of 14) sweeping and sanding floors, throwing a hammer and learning the ropes at Martin Brothers.
A specialty sale in 1978 of the collection of Richard Dennis, a London dealer, sent prices spiraling into four figures.
He returned to Martin Brothers in early 1986 and started acquiring shares in the company by working overtime on jobsites.
By the time he purchased the company in 1999, he had earned 10 percent ownership in Martin Brothers.
Founder Virgil, Martin passed away in August, 2011.
