Plating Company Near Cathedral City

Mid century homes and desert sunsets.

Cathedral City sits between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage in the Coachella Valley. Many of its neighborhoods were built in the 1950s through the 1970s, with mid century homes, pools and patios. Small businesses line East Palm Canyon Drive, and golf courses and resorts fill the edges. Summer heat regularly tops 110 degrees.

Cathedral City parts travel by ground over the pass and usually reach us in one business day. Photos let us write a quote. We strip, plate or coat each piece, inspect it and ship your order back insured.

Homeowners send mid century door hardware, lighting and pool rails. Small businesses send signs and storefront fixtures. Resorts and golf clubs send fixtures in batches, and families send patio furniture faded by the sun.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Cathedral City homeowners and businesses ask these often.

    Yes. Satin chrome was common in that era, and we can plate it again with the same soft sheen. Send one original lever as a sample so the new and old pieces look the same side by side. Brass house numbers from the same era can be polished and sealed to match.

    Boxes left in hot trucks over a weekend can reach very high temperatures. Shipping Monday or Tuesday keeps transit short and avoids that.

    Yes. Plated rails can be stripped and replated, and stainless rails can be polished. Rinse off chlorine and let them dry before packing. Tell us how they mount so we protect the threads.

    Many do, since it's the slow season. Send a set of rooms or a locker room at a time, and we return everything before peak season. Labels by room or locker bank keep everything sorted.

    Light colored powder coat reflects more sun and stays cooler to touch, and it holds up to heat far better than paint. White, sand and pale gray are popular.

    Not at all. Most of what comes through our door is home and business hardware: faucets, light fixtures, door handles, cabinet pulls, railings and decorative pieces. We also work for hotels, restaurants, boat owners and manufacturers.

    Tell us what the part is, roughly how big it is, how many pieces you have and the finish you're after. If you know the metal, mention it. If not, that's fine. We can usually tell from the photos.

    Every part is quoted on its own. The biggest factors are condition, the base metal, size and shape, the finish you choose and how many pieces you send. A part with deep pits or broken spots takes more work before it can be plated.
