Metal Finishing Services for Huntsville

Engineers by the thousand, and old Twickenham.

Huntsville earned the name Rocket City by building the rockets that went to the moon. The space flight center, the Army arsenal and one of the largest research parks in the country keep thousands of engineers employed. A few blocks from downtown, the Twickenham district preserves homes from before the Civil War.

Huntsville is a long way from us, and we are plain about what that means. Ground shipping usually takes three to five business days each way. Send a drawing or photos first. Our written quote lets you decide whether the finish is worth the freight, and for small precise parts it often is.

Supplier shops ask about coatings on machined parts. Engineers ask about small prototype lots. Homeowners in the historic districts ask about door hardware, chandeliers and silver.

What We Do

Plating Services in Huntsville

Huntsville requests are precise: electroless nickel plating, gold 24k plating and functional copper plating for technical parts, with brass plating, nickel plating and silver plating for historic homes.

Metal Restoration for Huntsville Homes and Businesses

Test hardware and antebellum door sets.

Small, high value parts travel well. A bag of connectors, a few housings, a short run of brackets. We plate electroless nickel for even coverage, copper for conductivity and gold where contacts must stay clean. Tell us the function and the base metal.

Old Southern houses hold remarkable hardware. Cast brass locks, silver plated knobs, gas era chandeliers converted long ago. Humid summers tarnish it all. We polish, repair and replate, then seal bright finishes so the humidity has less to work on.

One Piece or a Thousand

Big order or a single knob, same care.

Homeowners send us one faucet. Companies in and out of state send production runs of hundreds or thousands of parts. Both get a written quote and the same inspection before anything ships back.

    How It Works

    From Huntsville to Our Shop

    Huntsville orders cross the country, so plan a week of transit in total.

    01

    Get your quote first

    Send photos of every part with a short description. We reply with a written quote and a lead time, usually the same business day. Never ship before you have a quote number.

    02

    Pack it like it will be dropped

    Wrap each piece individually, keep metal from touching metal, and use at least three inches of padding on every side. Double box long trim and bumpers.

    03

    Insure and send the tracking

    Ship with any carrier, insure the box for what the parts are worth to you, and email us the tracking number so we know it is on the way.

    04

    Approve, then we ship back

    We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Huntsville engineers and homeowners ask these.

    Usually for a specific finish or for small lots that local production platers will not take. Ground transit is three to five business days, and small parts ship cheaply. We quote first so the choice is clear.

    Ask us about the specific requirement before sending work. We will state exactly what we can and cannot provide, and we never claim a certification we do not hold. We would rather lose the order than let you ship parts we cannot properly certify.

    Yes. Five or ten parts is a normal order. Send the drawing and tell us what the coating must do. A short run also lets you test the finish before committing to a production order. Small lots are some of our most common work.

    Yes. Worn silver is stripped and replated, and the brass beneath is repaired first. They return bright, or with an antique tone if that suits the house. Knobs are often brass under the silver, which gives us good metal to work with.

    It speeds tarnish on unsealed brass, copper and silver. Clear lacquer on display pieces helps a great deal. Plated nickel and chrome are little affected indoors. Wipe fixtures dry after cleaning and the finish will hold up far longer.

    Send us a few photos of the part from different angles, along with what it is and the finish you want. We look them over and send a written quote, usually within 24 business hours. It's free, and you're under no obligation to go ahead.

    Standard orders take 3 to 5 weeks from the day your parts arrive. If you're on a deadline, ask about expedited service. When the schedule allows, we can finish in 5 to 7 business days.

    Yes. Our workmanship is covered for 12 months. If something isn't right with the finish we put on, call us and we'll make it right.
