Why Chino Hills Sends Its Plating to DMC

Open hillsides between four counties.

Chino Hills sits in the hills where San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties meet. Much of the land is open space, including Chino Hills State Park, and the city is known for larger homes, equestrian trails and quiet neighborhoods built from the 1980s on. Sun and dry Santa Ana winds wear on outdoor metal.

Chino Hills customers send their parts by ground, and the trip to our shop usually takes a single business day. Your photos get you a written quote. We strip, plate or coat and inspect each piece, and the box returns insured to your door.

Homeowners send chandeliers, sconces, cabinet pulls and bath fixtures from remodels. Horse property owners send gate latches, barn lights and hitching hardware. Designers send custom pieces, and contractors send rails and fixtures for new custom homes in the hills.

What We Do

Plating Services in Chino Hills

Chino Hills orders usually call for nickel plating, brass plating and patinas indoors, and powder coating and refurbishing for barns and gates.

Chrome and Nickel Plating for Chino Hills

Grand entries, tack rooms and hillside patios.

Bigger homes mean bigger lighting, and chandeliers and entry fixtures are some of the most common pieces we see from Chino Hills. We take them apart, strip the old finish and plate polished nickel, satin brass or a hand rubbed bronze. Matching sconces and pulls come back in the same tone.

On horse properties, latches, hinges, barn lights and tack room hooks take sun, dust and constant handling. Our refurbishing work removes rust and refinishes them in powder coat or dark patina. Contractors building custom homes send stair rails and hardware to be finished before installation.

Since 1989

Over three decades of plating, one shop in Oceanside.

Every part is stripped, prepped, plated and inspected in our own building, and our work comes with a 12 month workmanship guarantee. Send photos and we'll take it from there.

    Plating Questions from Chino Hills

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Chino Hills homeowners and horse owners often ask these.

    Yes. We take it apart, strip and repair the metal, and plate it in polished nickel, brass or a bronze finish, then return the parts ready for reassembly. Remove crystals and glass before shipping, and send photos with the overall size so we can plan the box and quote.

    They can. We strip rust and old paint, repair small damage and finish in powder coat or a dark patina that hides fingerprints and dust. Pieces that get handled every day, like latches, do best in powder coat because it is so tough.

    We do. Builders send stair rails, balusters and hardware before installation. Label each home and each room, and we return the pieces sorted so the install crew can work without guessing.

    Send them together. Finishing a whole lighting set in one batch is the surest way to get the same tone everywhere. If some pieces stay on the wall, send one as a sample to match the rest to it.

    Powder coat and nickel and chrome hold up best to wind blown dust and sun. After a windy spell, wipe fixtures with a damp soft cloth instead of a dry one, since grit can scratch any finish.

    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.
