Metal Plating Services in Cottonwood

A main street that found a second act.

Old Town Cottonwood was a quiet strip of 1920s storefronts until the wineries arrived. Now tasting rooms, restaurants and small inns fill those buildings, and the Verde Valley wine trail runs right through. The old copper camp of Jerome clings to the hill above, and the Verde River passes the state park below.

Cottonwood business owners tend to be hands on, which suits how we work. Snap pictures of the pieces, email them and read our written quote. A ground box usually needs one to two business days to reach the coast. We refinish and inspect, then insure the trip back up to the valley.

Tasting rooms and restaurants ask about pendant lights, bar edges and door hardware. Owners of the old storefronts want original metal kept. People who collect Jerome mining pieces send lamps and tools. Homeowners send bath and kitchen fixtures.

What We Do

Plating Services in Cottonwood

Cottonwood favors copper plating, antique brass plating and patinas for hospitality spaces, metal polishing for bar details, and nickel plating or refurbishing for older hardware.

Plating Company Near Cottonwood

Pendant lights, transom hardware and miners' lamps.

Buildings from the 1920s have details worth protecting: transom lifts, brass thresholds, pressed metal trim, old door closers. We take off the paint and grime, repair the wear and choose a tone that fits the age of the place. Nothing should look like it came from a catalog last week.

Hospitality spaces get hard use. Hundreds of hands on the same door pull every weekend. Wine and citrus on a copper bar edge. We polish, replate where the metal has worn thin and seal the surface with clear lacquer. The quiet weeks after the holidays are a smart time to send things.

    Plating Questions from Cottonwood

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Cottonwood owners and collectors ask these.

    Yes. We refinish the metal shades, stems and canopies in copper, brass, bronze tones or nickel. Take out bulbs, sockets and glass first. If you have several lights, we finish them together so the whole row matches.

    Sealing is the answer. After polishing, we apply clear lacquer that keeps air and spills off the metal. Clean it with a damp soft cloth only. Abrasive cleaners cut through the lacquer and the copper darkens there first.

    In most cases it can. Hardware from that time is heavy brass, bronze or steel. We repair worn parts, refinish them and return them ready to go back on the door.

    We do, and we ask first how you want them to look. Some collectors want gentle cleaning and a protective clear coat. Others want brass polished bright. Either approach is fine with us.

    We do not publish seasonal pricing. What we can do is plan the work for your quiet weeks so the pieces are gone when you need them least. Ask for a written quote and tell us your dates.

    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.
