BENDER 335 East Street, New Haven, CT 06511

"Leslie at Bender came through for me when I was renovating my bathroom on a very tight timeline. She was a pleasure to work with, patient with me even I changed my mind a few times, and understanding about my timeline and budget. Plus Bender just has a huge selection of really beautiful fixtures and so many samples on site. I will definitely be back when/if I'm working on another space in my house! Thank you Leslie! Thank you Bender!"

"It was such a pleasure to work with Dari at Bender. She patiently explained the pros and cons of various products, from sink faucets to shower doors, and helped me to notice the subtle design differences that ultimately pulled the bathroom together visually as a whole. And she did all of this while respecting the limits of my budget. The bathroom is now installed, and I am so pleased!"

"This was my first time renovating any room, let alone two of them back to back (kitchen and bathroom). Both were very outdated from the '70s, so I decided to take the plunge and have both of them done over. My contractor suggested I contact Sephrina Martinez-Hall at Bender in New Haven, as she had been a huge help to him in the past. Sephrina graciously met me at the Bender showroom in Norwalk, as I worked in that area. She was amazing! Her knowledge of every product—from kitchen and bathroom faucets to shower heads, tub spigots, tubs, toilets, sconces, towel hooks, cabinet knobs and tile—was encyclopedic! I would pick out one item (bathroom faucet) and we would take it from there to pick out matching fixtures. She was so patient with me! I never felt rushed and I was in awe of her expertise. My contractor, electrician and plumber were also very impressed with every item. Everything was excellent quality and looks stunning! Sephrina was with me every step of the way. There was one defective cabinet knob, so I sent her pictures of it and she immediately ordered a new one for me and had it shipped directly to me. Talk about service! In addition, there was one item (tracking for a shower nook) that I ended up not needing. Sephrina processed the return for me and I was able to bring it to the Norwalk store. In sum, I had a superb experience with Bender. If/when I move into a bigger condo and need to renovate again, Sephrina will be the first person I call. Superior service and excellent quality. I am currently the envy of my neighbors, many of whom are now thinking of upgrading their outdated kitchens and bathrooms. I have recommended Bender to all of them. Thank you, Bender and Sephrina, for transforming my outdated kitchen and bathroom into the most beautiful rooms! Susanne Dwyer Wilton, CT"

"We embarked on a journey to build our dream home, relying on our builder to connect us with professionals who would guide is through the process. We are so fortunate that Bender Plumbing and Showroom was one of those resources. We are particularly thrilled that we had the opportunity to meet and work with two amazing talents, Daryl Zorn and Leisa Coyle-Troiano. Daryl, our kitchen designer, is extremely knowledgeable about the products, cabinets and hardware, design layouts, and functionality to achieve our kitchen goals. His detailed drawings and measurements, incorporating the appliance specifications, communication, response and follow up with the builder resulted in a flawless and timely installation once the space was ready. Leisa, our bath, tile & stone designer, took our vision for the bathrooms and kitchen and elevated them to the next level. I can’t say enough about her knowledge of all the products we needed to select, toilets, sinks, tubs, plumbing fixtures, accessories, tile, countertops, it was overwhelming! She immediately understood how we planned to live in our home. Her design expertise seamlessly helped us create 5 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry and an outdoor shower, all distinctly different yet all belonging in the same home, bringing together color, texture and function. She worked closely with the builder and managed all the moving parts so that when the time came to bring it all together, the products were delivered and ready for installation. Everyone who has visited our new home loves our choices and how well thought out and cohesive every piece works together to present a perfectly designed room, aesthetically pleasing and functional. Leisa and Daryl worked closely together to make our dream home a reality. Bender has it all. A beautiful showroom, innovative products, and most importantly design professionals who get to know their customers and bring their visions to life."
