About

I. Heritage

Humble Beginnings & 25+ Years of Excellence

At Brendel Wood Solutions, our heritage is built on a foundation of masterful craftsmanship, time-honored techniques, and an unwavering dedication to excellence. Based in Baltimore, MD, we have been restoring and refining the world’s finest woodwork since our founding in 1999 by David Brendel, former Director of Finishing at LCM Associates. With a passion for preserving the artistry of fine woodworking, we seamlessly blend traditional restoration methods with modern innovations, ensuring that each project maintains the integrity, beauty, and craftsmanship of its original design.

Our team consists of highly skilled artisans, each trained through a rigorous apprenticeship under master tradesmen, passing down generations of expertise. With over 150 years of combined experience, we bring an extraordinary depth of knowledge to every restoration, from historic architectural millwork to luxury furniture and yacht refinishing. At Brendel Wood Solutions, we do more than restore wood—we honor its history, refine its elegance, and set the standard for exquisite craftsmanship and enduring quality.
