Historical Renovations in Erie, PA
Erie, Pennsylvania is loaded with historical buildings that have shaped this town into what it is today. Unfortunately, with time and the harsh climate Erie faces, these buildings begin to disappear along with the past. At Braendel, we understand the significance of keeping these buildings alive for future generations to enjoy. Through our historic renovation services, we strive to preserve our city's character and our distinct sense of place.
Historic Buildings
One of the most historic renovations we have worked on in Erie is the unmistakable Warner Theater. This luxurious building was commissioned by one of the world's most successful producers, the Warner Bros., in 1929. It has spent its entire life promoting the arts by hosting traveling shows, films, and orchestras. We restored the Erie landmark to its former glory and grandeur through meticulous sanding, repairs, priming, reglazing, and caulking. To bring homage to this fantastic project, we created a custom paint finish to replicate the original Warner Theater colors.
Braendel has also been honored to work on various churches in the Erie area. When improving these buildings, we work on everything from floor to ceiling, including stained glass windows. The utmost care is critical with these renovation projects since some of the elements we work with are irreplaceable.
Historical homes are also another building type we specialize in. With smaller buildings comes more attention to detail which Braendel prides itself on. These homes can obtain severe damage over time, and we are passionate about restoring them to their former glory.
How to Renovate Your Historical Property
When restoring your historic property, it is essential to note that some specific permits and rules need to be followed. The types of permits you will need to proceed depend on the severity of the restoration.
These regulations can be confusing for someone who has never worked on a historic restoration project, but not so with Braendel. We will mend every corner to guarantee it's of the best quality. When you choose us for your historic restoration, you will think you have time traveled into the past.

The staff and service personnel at Braendel's are one of the best I have ever experienced. They are very thorough when it comes to the work performed as well as cleaning up afterward. The prices for the service are very competitive as well. To all the staff at Braendel Painting, Mark and I would like to extend a special thank you for your assistance in painting the inside rooms of our new home and with the assistance with tiling the kitchen and tolerating Dutchess, our great dane, during their lunch hour. In addition, we would like to express our appreciation for the dedication and professionalism of your company. Your friendly staff worked very hard on this project and we would like them to know it did not go unnoticed. Our home is BEAUTIFUL, more than we could have imagined. If you need our assistance for a reference, please do not hesitate to ask. Once again, thank you for helping us make our dreams come true. We have used Braendel Painting & Services many times. The work was always completed professionally and in a timely manner. The on-site employees were quality craftsmen and a pleasure to work with. I want to thank everyone from Dennis Sr., and Jr. all the way down the line, including Carolyn and Ashley for a job well done!! Everyone has been so courteous and patient. It's hard to have work done when you're 500 miles away but Ben kept me updated on progress and sent pics which I'm so grateful for!! The bathrooms are gorgeous, the paint looks beautiful. There were a couple minor issues which you guys addressed right away and corrected to my satisfaction (no small thing!) We couldn't be any more pleased with the professional services Braendel's provided. They tackled a major tiled shower remodel/expansion and did so with the utmost care and precision. They also painted our basement ceiling and outside stucco. We are so thrilled with their services that we are planning a deck remodel. I can say we have been very pleased with their work. Their crews were extremely professional and we were impressed with the quality of the jobs they did. Dear Denny, Just a note to tell you how pleased we are with the work your crew did at the house at 2918 Euclid Blvd. We wanted to have it "spruced up" for our daughter and they made it a showplace! From the moment we met you at the estimate, I felt like a weight had been lifted from our shoulders; I know we were in good hands. Your workers were knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant. We appreciate all their hard labor, and we were happy that they could do everything in such a timely manner. I'm sure our daughter will be surprised and thrilled with her new home! It's no wonder that you are voted #1 year after year. You will certainly be our choice for any other home improvement projects. Thank You Again, Mike & Marilyn. When I needed remodeling done to my funeral home I called Braendel Painting & Services. I was very pleased with their rapid response time. Not only were they able to take care of my painting needs but also they were able to handle my wallpapering, remodeling, carpeting and carpentry work. They are definitely a "one call does it all" company. I was 100 percent satisfied with their work and professional attitude; their service was second to none and they even had non-smoking crews. They worked around my busy schedule – working at night and during off hours – alleviating any disruption to the funeral home and patrons. They are truly a "service" oriented company which should carry them well into the new millennium. It has been my experience that Braendel Painting performs the highest quality of painting and renovation work and at all times conscientiously serves their customers. Their courteous and expeditious services are unparalleled. Braendel's workmanship is phenomenal. Everything they said that they would do was completed in a timely fashion and we would like to recommend their services to anyone and everyone.
