T.H. Martin Inc.

What T.H. Martin Inc. does

T.H. Martin, Inc. is a family-owned mechanical contractor founded in 1985 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, with a secondary office in Akron. The company delivers commercial and institutional mechanical construction services — primarily sheet metal fabrication and installation, mechanical piping systems, and full HVAC contracting — across Northeast Ohio. Its technology stack centers on a state-of-the-art fabrication shop equipped for welded ductwork and prefabricated piping, supported by BIM/CAD coordination using Revit and AutoCAD for clash detection and installation planning, plus Design Build/Design Assist preconstruction services. The firm holds Yellow Label certification, which permits nationwide shipment of prefabricated, union-made piping from its Cleveland shop.

The business operates as a project-based B2B contractor, generating revenue through prime and subcontract mechanical work on large construction projects. Featured engagements include the Sherwin Williams Global Research and Development Center ($16M+ in mechanical services, 600,000 sq ft, Brecksville, Ohio), the CWRU Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (189,000 sq ft, prime mechanical contractor alongside Turner Construction), and the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute expansion. Pricing is custom-quoted per project with multi-year contract cadence; no standardized pricing tiers are disclosed. Specialty service lines — Life Safety Damper inspection, Indoor Environmental Services, and ongoing HVAC service — provide recurring-revenue potential alongside the construction core.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging direct contractor relationships with construction managers (e.g., Turner Construction), institutional owners (CWRU, Cleveland Clinic), and private developers (Sherwin Williams). The firm is privately held with no outside investors, parent company, or subsidiary structure disclosed. Leadership is anchored by the Martin family — Tom Martin (President) and Mike Martin (COO) — supported by a multi-generational team reporting over 100 years of combined industry experience and union partnerships with the United Association of Plumbers & Pipefitters and SMART.
