The friendly, knowledgeable team at Brandino Brass helps guide customers through their options to find the perfect items for their space
Among the latest customers to take advantage of the service and selection at Brandino Brass are Vestavia Hills residents Jimmy and Sara Glenn.
The Glenns turned to Brandino Brass when they built a unique new home that blends two architectural styles — neoclassical and modern farmhouse.
It was a new build, so the Glenns needed locks, door knobs, door stops and cabinet hardware, as well as fireballs and mesh cabinet grills.
“Brandino Brass was recommended by everyone on our team,” the Glenns said.
“We’ve worked with Brandino for years, so when we need hardware it’s our go-to shop,” designer Marianne Strong said. “Their level of expertise and knowledge is second to none, and the range of products they offer is extensive.”
The couple also collaborated with architects Richard and Lynielle Long and builder Nikolaus Mimikakis.
At Brandino Brass, the Glenns worked with Megan Brasher.
“Megan was great,” the couple said. “We had trouble deciding what to do with the living room cabinets, and she guided us to mesh grills, which are amazing.”
“I appreciate the knowledge and insight Megan brings to every project,” Strong said. “She has a great eye when making selections and follows that up with excellent attention to detail regarding all parts of the ordering process, including size and placement.”
The company is a dealer for unique, high-end hardware vendors, with many products available only at Brandino Brass, a real plus for customers.
“We supplied an American-made, unlacquered brass rim lock to complete and complement a custom front door designed by Long & Long,” Brasher said. “Another unique detail was the cabinet mesh in the living room. A brand in the U.K. [Armac Martin] allows you to pick your style, size and finish to customize each order.”
“Brandino Brass has hardware you can’t get at a big-box store, like our front door hardware and mailbox,” the Glenns said. “They have a great selection of everything.”
“Working with the designer, we helped make each space unique with its own finish and style with the hardware,” Brasher said. “The door hardware is coordinated with the exterior design of the house — while each room’s interior has a personality of its own, and the hardware was selected accordingly.”
“We’re absolutely thrilled with everything from Brandino Brass,” the Glenns said.
“I think it’s rare to find a one-stop shop these days, but we have that in Brandino,” Strong said. “To be able to walk in and make selections for an entire home knowing they will have pieces that work because of their well-curated selection of styles and finishes is such a gift.”
