About me

My name is Michael Backers, owner of Backers Painting and Refinishing LLC. I’m a proud Saint Clair Shores, MI resident, born and raised in the metro Detroit area. I enjoy spending holidays with my family, working on projects around my own home, and relaxing with my two dogs. I’ve always been good with my hands, and while the work can be demanding, the reward of finishing a project and seeing a happy customer is something I wouldn’t trade for anything. I truly love what I do.

I built this company with a simple goal: to provide homeowners with high-quality craftsmanship, honest communication, and a level of care that’s hard to find in today’s contracting world. After years of seeing contractors deliver poor results or take advantage of people, I set out to help restore respect, honesty, and trust to the trade.

With 15 years of hands-on experience in painting, cabinet refinishing, drywall, carpentry, and restoration work, I approach every project with the same care and precision I’d expect in my own home. Details matter—from the prep work you never see to the final finish you enjoy every day.

My business is built on three core principles:

• Do the job right the first time using proper prep and premium materials

• Treat every home with respect through cleanliness, professionalism, and clear communication

• Be honest and transparent with straightforward pricing and realistic timelines

Homeowners choose Backers Painting and Refinishing for workmanship that stands out, reliability they can count on, and a contractor who genuinely cares. My business is built on trust, repeat clients, and referrals, and I’m proud to serve my community with the same standard I’d want for my own family.
