Plating Company Near Show Low

Named on the turn of a card.

Show Low got its name from a card game between two ranchers, and the main street is still called Deuce of Clubs. At about 6,300 feet in the White Mountains, it is where desert families go to cool off. Pines, lakes and cabins in summer. Snow and wood smoke in winter.

Many of our Show Low customers do not live there full time, and that is no problem. Send photos from wherever you are. We reply with a written quote. Ground shipping from the mountain usually takes one to two business days, and the finished order can return to either of your addresses.

Cabin owners write about chandeliers, stove hardware and door sets. Lodge and rental operators want durable finishes on pieces that many guests handle. Lake visitors send small boat fittings. Builders of mountain homes ask for bronze and copper tones.

What We Do

Plating Services in Show Low

Show Low requests lean rustic: patinas such as oil rubbed bronze, copper plating, brass plating and home decor restoration, with powder coating for railings and nickel plating for baths.

Metal Plating Near Show Low

Wood stove trim, deck lights and fishing boat fittings.

Heat and soot are part of cabin life. Stove doors trim, fireplace screens and tool sets darken and rust a little more each winter. We clean them to bare metal, repair what is loose or pitted and refinish in black, bronze or brass tones. Sets are done together.

Outside, the mountain climate swings hard. Strong sun at altitude, summer thunderstorms, then snow. Deck lights and railings need a finish that can take all of it, and powder coating usually wins. Small lake boat hardware can be replated in nickel and chrome over a copper base.

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 Show Low Customers Ship Parts to Us

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Cabin owners in Show Low ask us these.

    Yes. Handles, trim, screens and tool sets are cleaned to bare metal and refinished. Tell us which parts get hot in use, because that affects which finish we recommend for them.

    Ship when you close up in fall. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 weeks, so the work is finished long before the next season. We can send it to your main home or hold the return until you say.

    Powder coating is the most dependable for sun, rain and snow. Dark bronze and black are common choices. A sealed patina also works under a covered porch where weather does not hit it directly.

    We do. Cleats, oarlocks, rail ends and similar small fittings are stripped, filled with copper where pitted and finished in nickel and chrome. Send them in the off season. Winter is quiet on the lakes up there, so most owners ship then and have the fittings back before spring.

    Yes. For hardware that many people handle, we suggest satin finishes and sealed coatings, which hide fingerprints and wear better than a bright mirror. Send counts and we will quote the set.

    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.
