Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Azusa

Where the San Gabriel River leaves the mountains.

Azusa sits where the San Gabriel River flows out of its canyon and into the valley. Route 66 passes through town, rock quarries have worked the hills for decades, and Azusa Pacific University and nearby colleges bring thousands of students. Downtown has been rebuilt around the light rail station, with older homes on the surrounding streets.

Out of the canyon and down to Oceanside, an Azusa parcel usually takes a day. Photos are enough for a written quote, and freight works for heavy items. Each piece is stripped, coated or plated and inspected before it heads back insured.

Universities send handles, rails and dorm fixtures during summer breaks. Quarry and equipment businesses send steel parts for powder coat. Manufacturers send production parts, and homeowners send door sets, lighting and gate hardware.

What We Do

Plating Services in Azusa

Azusa asks for powder coating, chrome plating and nickel plating, plus refurbishing for heavy equipment and gates.

Metal Restoration for Azusa Homes and Businesses

Lecture halls, quarry yards and canyon road homes.

Campus facilities in Azusa go through a lot of hardware: door handles, push bars, railings and dorm bathroom fixtures. Summer break is when most of it comes to us. We refinish everything in matched batches and return it labeled by building and room before students arrive in the fall.

The quarries and equipment yards near the canyon run heavy steel that gets battered by rock and dust. Guards, brackets and covers come in for stripping and tough powder coat. Homeowners near the foothills send gate hardware and outdoor fixtures exposed to the same dust.

    How It Works

    From Azusa to Our Shop

    Azusa customers send parts in these four steps.

    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.

    Yes. Summer is the right window. Send fixtures by building, tagged by room, and tell us move in day. With standard turnaround of 3 to 5 weeks, starting early in the summer leaves room for several rounds, and we return each round sorted for quick reinstallation.

    Yes. We strip rust and old paint, blast and pretreat the steel and coat it in tough, textured finishes that hide scratches. Large pieces travel by freight; call ahead so our dock is ready.

    Yes. We record the finish from the first batch and use it for every building after. A sample from the first round helps you confirm the match.

    It's abrasive, especially when wiped dry. Rinse or wipe with a damp cloth instead, and choose powder coat or nickel and chrome for the toughest protection. After windy days in the canyon, a gentle rinse does wonders.

    Usually. Older hardware is often solid brass. We strip and replate in polished nickel, satin nickel or brass to match the house. Many of these homes are near downtown and the light rail station.

    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.
