Chrome and Nickel Plating for Phoenix

Big city, big mix of metal work.

Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona and one of the largest in the country. It builds a lot: semiconductors, aerospace parts, electronics. It also hosts a lot, with downtown hotels, resorts and restaurants. And in between are historic districts like Willo, Encanto and Coronado, full of homes from the 1920s and 30s.

Sending work from Phoenix is routine for us. A parcel usually takes one to two business days by ground. Photos or a drawing come first, then our written quote. After that you ship, we plate and inspect, and the order goes back insured. Larger production orders can travel on a pallet.

Our Phoenix requests fall into three groups. Shops and manufacturers that need a steady finish on machined parts. Hospitality properties refreshing fixtures and trim. And homeowners who would rather restore an original door set than replace it.

What We Do

Plating Services in Phoenix

Phoenix customers ask for a wide range: electroless nickel plating and tumble finishes for production parts, chrome plating, nickel plating and brass plating for fixtures, and powder coating for anything that lives in the sun.

Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Phoenix

Machine shops, hotel lobbies and Willo bungalows.

For manufacturers, the appeal is consistency. Electroless nickel lays down evenly on threads, bores and deep recesses because it uses no electric current. We run hundreds or thousands of parts in planned batches, and companies outside California have sent us production work for years.

For hotels and homes it is about looks. Sun and hard water are constant in the Valley, and they dull faucets, door hardware and light fixtures. We strip the tired finish and replate, matching the pieces you are keeping. Sets are finished together so a lobby or a hallway looks even.

    How It Works

    From Phoenix to Our Shop

    Phoenix orders ship both ways along the interstate. The steps are short.

    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.

    Mostly for the finish and the range. We have plated since 1989 in a 12,000 square foot shop, and we handle decorative and functional work under one roof. Ground transit is only a day or two, so the distance adds little to the schedule.

    Yes. We plate runs of hundreds or thousands of parts and schedule them in batches. Send a drawing, the base metal, quantity and the finish spec. For tumble finishing, we do a sample run before the full batch.

    Real plating is metal, so it does not fade like paint. Lacquer over brass or copper can break down in direct sun, though. For full exposure we often suggest powder coating or a finish that needs no lacquer.

    We can. Door sets, window latches and light fixtures from homes in the historic districts are usually solid brass or steel. We repair them and refinish in period looks like vintage nickel, antique brass or oil rubbed bronze.

    Start with photos, counts and the target finish. We quote the set and can plate one sample for approval. Many properties send work in phases so rooms are never without hardware for long.

    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.
