HJ Martin and Son is an interior and specialty contractor based in Northeast Wisconsin. The privately held company has its headquarters in Green Bay and retail locations in Green Bay and Neenah, Wisconsin. HJ Martin and Son is currently licensed to do business in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The company employs more than 600 people and specializes in residential retail, commercial work and retail fixtures.
The company began in 1931, with Henry John Martin and his wife Margaret selling flooring and tile out of the family’s garage on the near west side of Green Bay. In 1959, the Martins moved the company to its first commercial location in Green Bay. In 1948, their son Patrick Henry Martin, a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and former First Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps, joined the business. In 1956, he and his wife, Mary Ellen, purchased the business from his father’s estate, marking the second generation of family ownership in the business. In 1959, Patrick Henry Martin moved the business to its current location in Wisconsin. He also changed the company name to HJ Martin and Son.
By the 1960, the company added commercial divisions from its original focus on flooring and tile. During this period in the company’s history, the focus was on serving local retail stores through its commercial division and using its showroom to serve local homeowners.
In 1978, and after graduating from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, third-generation owner Edward N. Martin became involved in the company. He was named president of the company in November 1978, later purchasing the company with his wife, Terri Martin, in 1996 after the death of Patrick Henry Martin. Edward Martin focused on company growth and added new company divisions. This opened up new opportunities to work with larger businesses, such as Green Bay-based retailer Shopko. Due to continued expansion and company growth, the company also created dedicated warehouse space in 1979.
In 1985, the company completed its first project for the Green Bay Packers. HJ Martin and Son provided the glass and glazing, flooring and drywall for the addition of skyboxes to Lambeau Field.
