What Our Clients Are Saying
"She's our cabinet color whisperer." — Owner, Cabinet Wholesalers, Anaheim, CA
We've worked with Michelle for over 15 years and she's become an essential part of every project. From custom color matching and cabinetry touch-ups to those last-minute situations where everything has to be perfect — she comes in, works her magic, and delivers every time. We honestly could not do what we do without her." — Owner, Cabinet Wholesalers, Anaheim CA
"Working with MM Restoration & Design has been a game-changer for my projects. Michelle is the person I call when a cabinet delivery shows up with dings, a touch-up didn't blend, or a replacement door doesn't quite match. She comes in quietly, assesses the finish, and hand-blends the color so the problem just…disappears. My clients never see the panic moments behind the scenes, and that protects my reputation and keeps repeat business coming." — Owner, South Bay Design Center, Lomita CA
"Michelle is the BEST! She repaired a wood-paneled wall in our home following construction. After she performed her magic, you would hardly know the panels were ever pieced together. She cleaned and lightly sanded the area, artfully painted wood grain patterns on the panels, then topped them with a coat of varnish. She is a miracle worker!" — Diana D., Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Michelle was an incredible partner on a recent Newport Beach listing. She refinished and touched up all the cabinets in a four-story home, buffed out the side panels, and made every surface photo-ready for our Redfin shoot. The house sold quickly, and I'm convinced her work helped us present it at its best." — RJ, Real Estate Broker, Newport Beach CA
"Michelle is my go-to for cabinet and wood finish chips, dings, and scratched pieces on homeowner projects after installation. She explains what's possible, matches the color on-site, and leaves the repair looking original. My clients are genuinely happy every time." — Polly, Interior Designer, Palos Verdes CA
"Michelle is amazing. She did a fantastic job finishing my kitchen cabinet detail work. Her attention to detail is beyond perfection — and she's very pleasant to work with." — Jodie C., Orange CA
