Brandino Brass in Homewood is known throughout the Southeast as a go-to destination for designers, contractors, architects and homeowners seeking top-quality decorative and architectural hardware.
With a range of prices and quality unmatched by big-box stores, Brandino Brass offers cabinet hardware, door knobs, fireballs, custom brass shelving, bathroom accessories, interior and exterior lighting and more.
The company carries many unique, high-end hardware makers and vendors, with some products available exclusively at Brandino Brass.
Best of all, Brandino Brass has a passionate, well-trained staff who understand that hardware is “the jewelry of the home” and help clients find the best products for their homes.
The customers who’ve enjoyed this great service include Kelly and Brian Kirby, who recently built a two-story, Tudor-style house in Edgewood. The house measures 3,500 square feet with five bedrooms, 4.5 baths and an office, and Brian – who builds houses for a living – handled the construction.
Brian is pleased by his handiwork but gives his wife — a designer and licensed real estate agent — much of the credit for the project’s success.
“I’m more impressed by what Kelly does with the finishes,” Brian says. “This was some of her finest work to date.”
Picking Brandino Brass for all of the cabinet and door hardware in her new house was an easy choice for Kelly, who worked with Brandino co-owner Renee Genereux and the rest of the staff while serving on the design team at Homewood builder Ketcham & Co.
“Renee and Brandino were the only choice,” Kelly says. “The service at Brandino is always exceptional, the products are high-quality and the variety in selections give each home a unique sense of personality.“
Renee helped Kelly find the hinges for a “hidden door” in her dining room that her kids love, Kelly said. “Figuring that out was a process, and Renee helped us through every option available.”
As a designer who works with her own clients, Kelly is very impressed by Brandino Brass.
“Every staff member is willing to help, scheduling is seamless and communication with orders is always relayed in a timely manner in regards to arrivals and backorders,” she said.
The Brandino Brass staff even labels all hardware items by location. “This keeps the job site organized and creates efficiency when confirming that all items are accounted for and ready for installation,” she says.
“I will always appreciate Brandino’s commitment to quality service and variety of high-end products,” Kelly says. “Finishes truly make the difference in a home, and Brandino provides the best out there.”
