Metal Plating Near Sahuarita

Pecans, copper and quiet streets.

Sahuarita lies south of Tucson along the Santa Cruz River. It is surrounded by one of the largest pecan orchards in the world, and big copper mines operate in the hills to the west. Rancho Sahuarita brought thousands of families, Quail Creek brought retirees, and Green Valley is right next door.

From Sahuarita, a plating job begins at your kitchen table with a phone camera. Email the photos. We send back a written quote. Ship by ground and the box usually arrives in one to two business days. We restore the piece, inspect it and insure its trip back.

Retirees write about silver, lamps and clocks that came with them from other states. Younger families ask about faucets and hardware. Orchard and mine maintenance crews sometimes need parts coated or cleaned up.

What We Do

Plating Services in Sahuarita

Sahuarita mostly asks for silver plating, home decor restoration and brass plating, with chrome plating and nickel plating for fixtures and powder coating for outdoor and equipment parts.

Chrome and Nickel Plating for Sahuarita

Tea services, bath trim and orchard equipment.

Heirloom silver is a specialty we enjoy. Hollowware like teapots, pitchers and bowls often has dents and loose handles as well as worn plating. We fix those first, then plate with food safe silver. Brass and copper pieces can be polished and lacquered so they need no regular polishing.

Equipment work is plainer but just as useful. Guards, brackets and housings from orchard machinery are stripped, blasted, pretreated and powder coated. The dry climate is easy on coated steel, and a good coating can last many seasons.

    Why Sahuarita Sends Its Plating to DMC

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Sahuarita residents ask us these.

    Get a free quote

    Yes. Dent removal, straightening and tightening of handles and feet are done before plating. The quote covers that work, so send photos that show the damage clearly.

    It depends on use. Display pieces can stay bright for decades. Flatware used every day wears faster. Hand washing and soft cloths help a great deal, and we can apply heavier silver where a piece gets the most wear.

    If you would rather not polish it, yes. Clear lacquer keeps brass bright for years indoors. If you like brass to darken naturally, we can leave it unsealed.

    We do. Steel and aluminum parts are stripped, blasted and powder coated in durable colors. Send them in the off season, and include a note on which surfaces should stay bare.

    Wherever you tell us. Give us your dates and both addresses, and we ship the finished work, insured, to the one where you will be.

    Yes, and most of our work starts that way. We strip the old plating down to the base metal, repair what needs repair, then plate it fresh. New plating over a failing layer never lasts, so we don't do it.

    We do. Along with single pieces for homeowners, we run batches of hundreds or thousands of parts for companies in California and other states. Send a photo of a sample, the quantity and the finish, and we'll quote the whole run.

    Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak. Some of them need extra prep so the plating bonds well, and we'll tell you up front if your part does.
