Seven colleges under a canopy of trees.

What We Do

Plating Services in Claremont

Claremont asks for nickel plating, copper plating and patinas for historic work, along with home decor restoration and brass plating.

Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Claremont

Quad buildings, Village storefronts and tree lined porches.

The historic college buildings have bronze door pulls, cast iron railings and lighting that must match from building to building. Facilities teams send hardware during summer and winter breaks, and we refinish it to match the originals that stay in place, keeping careful records so future repairs match too.

Claremont's Craftsman neighborhoods have hammered copper plates, bronze hinges and porch lanterns that owners treasure. We strip and refinish them in antique copper, statuary brown or polished vintage nickel. Village shops send signs and door pulls that see a steady stream of students and visitors.

    Yes. Send one pull that will stay in place, or a clear photo next to the pieces you're sending. We refinish the rest in a matching bronze tone with highlights relieved by hand, then seal them. We keep a record of the finish so future replacements match without guesswork.

    Smaller batches can. Winter break is shorter, so we confirm timing before you send anything. Larger projects fit better in summer. A list of rooms helps us plan.

    Yes. We take them apart, strip and repair the metal and refinish in antique copper or a bronze patina. Glass stays with you or comes out first. Many of these lanterns are well over a century old.

    They do. Brass pulls are polished and sealed, and metal signs are stripped and refinished. Student traffic wears pulls fast, so a sealed finish helps.

    For high touch pieces, sealing keeps the color steady. A living finish keeps changing with use, which some owners prefer for period homes. Ask us and we can show you a sample of each.

    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.
