1990
At age 13, my first job was installing septic systems and septic fields for my Step-Father at T-Brendels Excavating. At an early age I learned how hard work and determination builds ethics and character. Two important attributes that I implement into every job and every service that we provide.

Graduate of EMU Business/Marketing
2003-2012
After getting fired from my Forman position at a large landscape company in the local area, I took what I had learned along the way and reinvented the working aspects of their business and started Mean Green Lawns & Landscaping. I built this business up to 187 residual customers and sold the company in 2012 taking a new direction in life.
2013-2018
Moving on, I found myself becoming a student of the home improvement industry. I was formally trained and licensed, becoming one of the top 5 sales reps for the largest home improvement company in Michigan. After 3 years, I moved around to a few other large companies until I realized it was time to take all that I have learned, and apply it in a way that will benefit my customers no matter what service we provide.
2018
I opened Brendel’s as a means to provide the quality work that homeowners really want, at a price that can be affordable. It's my mission to establish a new way of doing business so that every one of our customers walks away knowing they made the right choice for the job.
