Metal Plating Near Cerritos

A planned city of dealerships and the arts.

Cerritos was farmland until the 1960s and 70s, when it was built out as a carefully planned city. It's known for the Cerritos Auto Square, one of the biggest collections of car dealerships anywhere, the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, and a striking library clad in titanium. Neighborhoods are tidy and well kept.

Cerritos parts ship to us by ground and generally arrive the next business day. We write a quote from your photos. After stripping, plating and inspection, each order returns insured to the address you give us.

Dealerships send showroom fixtures, display stands and lobby hardware. Venues send rails, door pulls and decorative metal. Office buildings send handles and restroom fixtures, and homeowners send faucets, lighting and door sets from 1970s houses.

What We Do

Plating Services in Cerritos

Cerritos orders typically involve chrome plating, nickel plating and brass plating, along with metal polishing for stainless.

Metal Restoration for Cerritos Homes and Businesses

Showrooms, theater lobbies and quiet cul de sacs.

Dealerships around the Auto Square care about their showrooms. Display stands, lobby rails, door pulls and decorative trim need to gleam under bright lights. We replate them in chrome or nickel and polish stainless. Venues send rails and door hardware during dark weeks between shows.

Homes in Cerritos were mostly built in the 1970s, and many still have solid brass fixtures from that era. Owners update them to polished nickel, satin brass or chrome. Office buildings send handles and restroom fixtures labeled by floor so everything returns where it belongs.

    Yes. Display stands, brackets and trim can be stripped and replated in bright chrome or nickel, and stainless can be polished. We work in rounds so the showroom never looks bare. Send photos with sizes, and tell us any deadline like a model launch or event.

    Yes. Tell us the dates the venue is dark and when the rails must be back. Brass rails are stripped, polished and sealed, and chrome or nickel rails are replated. We plan the schedule so everything returns before the next opening.

    Usually. Solid brass fixtures from that era are heavy and well made. We strip the old finish and plate polished nickel, satin brass or chrome, finishing full sets together.

    Many do. Tag each piece with floor and room and it comes back sorted. Keeping the finish on file means the tenth floor ends up looking like the first.

    Chrome is bright, cool and very hard. Nickel is slightly warmer and softer in tone. Chrome usually goes over nickel for the best wear and corrosion resistance. For showrooms and lobbies, chrome is usually the pick.

    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.
