Along the Rio Hondo with a lot of industry.
Bell Gardens is a compact city along the Rio Hondo in southeast Los Angeles County. Industrial businesses fill its eastern side, a large card club and hotel draw visitors around the clock, and John Anson Ford Park is the green center of town. Neighborhoods are mostly modest homes built in the 1940s and 50s.
We work with Bell Gardens by mail. Photos get you a written quote. Ship by ground and your parts usually arrive the next business day, then return insured after plating and inspection.
Manufacturers send stamped and machined parts in batches. The hospitality and gaming venue sends decorative trim, rails and fixtures. Small businesses send storefront pulls and signs, and families send faucets, door sets and wrought iron.
Bell Gardens asks for chrome plating, brass plating and gold 24k plating on venue pieces, plus powder coating and nickel plating.

Hospitality and gaming venues run around the clock, and their brass rails, decorative trim and fixtures see constant hands. We strip and refinish them in brass, gold or chrome and seal them so they stay bright under bright lights. Work is scheduled in rounds so the floor never looks unfinished.
Industrial businesses on the east side send production parts for plating, tumbling or powder coat. In the neighborhoods, wrought iron gates and window guards rust over time, and our refurbishing work restores them. Families send solid faucets and door hardware from 1940s and 50s homes for replating.
