Brandino Brass helps homeowners and designers enhance every detail with quality hardware and personalized service
A respected family business founded in 1948, Brandino Brass also designs items such as bespoke brass shelves, gate fittings, mailboxes and fireballs.
Brandino Brass offers a quality unmatched by chain stores and the friendly sales team has tremendous flavor and product knowledge. They enjoy helping customers navigate the many options and find the perfect items for their home.
Known throughout the Southeast, the store is the go-to destination for homeowners, architects and designers renovating or building a home.
Local designers who trust Brandino Brass include Sarah Butler of Sarah Butler Interiors.
“Brandino always has a great selection and is easy to work with,” said Sarah. “I love seeing all the options in the showroom. The salespeople are great at suggesting items and showing me what will work well.”
Sarah used Brandino when she worked with Jaclyn and Brandon Gardner, a couple building a new home in Cahaba Heights in 2021. She and the Gardners turned to Brandino Brass for all of their cabinet hardware.
“Sarah said Brandino has a great reputation and offers a lot of unique options,” Jaclyn said. “I was excited to see what options there would be.”
The company has many unique manufacturers and suppliers of high-end hardware. “Some of the brands of hardware we use can only be ordered from Brandino,” Sarah said.
Sarah enjoyed working with the Gardners. “It was a fun project because the customers had great taste and were more adventurous in some of the choices they made,” she said.
Choosing the right hardware is crucial for a home. “The choice of hardware can enhance the design and in some cases even shape the design,” said Sarah.
Sarah also educated Jaclyn about the importance of hardware in the interior of a home.
“You don't always think about these little details when it comes to cabinets, but Sarah told me, 'Your hardware is like jewelry or accessories. When you buy your cabinets, it's your opportunity to give things a unique look.'”
For example, Jaclyn had an upstairs bathroom and said she wanted it to be “a little fun and kind of different.”
The team at Brandino Brass “really thought about the atmosphere in the room,” she said. “They showed me hardware that was a little less traditional.”
Jaclyn was “very happy” with the results. “The bathroom was really pretty. To this day, people walk into my bathroom and say, 'That's so cute.' I’m so glad we went this route and didn’t buy plain, boring items that you see everywhere.”
Working with Brandino Brass “was a wonderful experience,” Jaclyn said.
The staff at Brandino Brass was “very patient” as Jaclyn and Sarah asked about different options, Jaclyn said. “The open dialogue and communication really helped.”
“It was a good experience,” Sarah said, adding that she still uses Brandino Brass and usually works with Brandon, who now works for the store.
Jaclyn was happy with the final results in the house. “I loved it,” she said. “It's one thing when you're in the store, but when you see it installed, oh my God, it looks even better.”
