Adria Tortorigi is one of the latest customers to enjoy the company’s selection and service, working with Renee Genereux. Renee Genereux and Jessie Isom are owners, along with Eric Brandino, grandson of the store’s founder.
Tortorigi and her husband, Joseph, spent about 18 months remodeling their Mountain Brook home.
The owner of La Farre, a gourmet market in Trussville, Tortorigi has a strong sense of style and had a clear vision for the remodel.
“I wanted to create a luxurious environment so people would enjoy being in our home,” she says.
Tortorigi saw the value of high-quality indoor hardware. “I wanted to elevate my home’s interior style,” she says.
“Adria certainly wanted her hardware to be the jewelry of her home,” Genereux says.
Tortorigi was drawn to high-end British manufacturer Armac Martin, which Brandino Brass carries.
“It’s a luxury cabinet hardware you don’t see a lot of, and it’s crafted with elegance,” Tortorigi says.
She obtained a wide array of Armac Martin products, including door knobs, door hinges, cabinet pulls and decorative cabinet grilles.
“It was a bit tricky as Armac Martin fabricates these in England, and Adria has a curved cabinet door that these were being inserted in,” Genereux says. “She was able to have her contractor make a template which we measured and ordered a rectangular piece from England. Once the grilles arrived at Brandino Brass, we used the template to cut the curve for seamless installation.”
Brandino’s showroom is “full of choices,” Tortorigi said. “They were my one-stop shop.”
Genereux made the process “very easy,” Tortorigi says. “She was very knowledgeable about the styles and colors available.”
“Adria was a pleasure to work with due to her great taste and knowledge of what she wanted,” Genereux says.
At Brandino Brass, clients come not only for the extensive collections but for the customer service and product knowledge.
“There’s always a lot to coordinate with cabinet hardware and cabinetry, and certainly with door hardware and custom doors or door manufacturers,” Genereux says. “We pride ourselves in asking the right questions to have a successful installation.”
Brandino also found hinges for custom 12-foot-tall doors the Tortorigis ordered from Italy and provided hardware for the doors in two window walls the couple created.
“It was lots of fun to work with Brandino Brass,” Tortorigi says. “They’re always ahead of the curve in understanding luxurious components and design.”
