Metal Plating Services in Duarte

A small foothill city with a famous cancer center.

Duarte sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains between Arcadia and Azusa. It's home to City of Hope, a world renowned cancer research and treatment center that dominates the local economy. Route 66 runs along Huntington Drive, and the neighborhoods range from postwar homes to properties on the foothills with horse trails nearby.

Duarte parts ship by ground and typically reach our shop in one business day. Photos or drawings get you a written quote. Each order is finished, inspected and packed carefully before the insured return.

The medical campus and nearby offices send grab bars, handles and fixtures. Research labs send small fittings for electroless nickel. Foothill homeowners send gate hardware and lighting, and Route 66 businesses send signs and storefront pieces.

What We Do

Plating Services in Duarte

Metal Finishing Services for Duarte

Research corridors, Huntington Drive and foothill gates.

Duarte has more horse trails than most people expect. Up toward the foothills, properties have corrals, tack rooms and trail gates, and the owners send latches, hitching rings and lanterns for tough powder coat. The town also has a long stretch of old Route 66 motels and diners whose signs and fixtures deserve a second life.

Along the foothills, homes have gates, mailboxes and outdoor lights that face sun and canyon wind. Our refurbishing work restores them in powder coat. Small businesses on Huntington Drive, the old Route 66 alignment, send signs and fixtures that fit the classic roadside look. Many homeowners near the trails keep chickens and horses too.

    Plating Questions from Duarte

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What people around the foothill campus usually ask us.

    Yes, in one box is fine. We strip rust and old paint, repair worn spots and powder coat everything in one color so the barn matches. Slide bolts and latch pivots are masked so they keep working smoothly. Dark colors hide trail dust best.

    Of course. Many people staying near the campus for treatment bring a meaningful piece with them, a ring box, a cross, a small frame. We handle those with extra care and can ship the finished piece to any address, including a family member's home.

    Yes. We strip rust, repair wear and powder coat hinges and latches. Long gate sections need freight. Hinges and drop rods fit in a normal box.

    Often. Metal signs and brackets are stripped and refinished. Painted lettering needs special care. Old motel signs from the Route 66 days are common.

    Yes, when they're solid brass. Many Duarte ranch homes from the 1950s still have their first bathroom set, and it takes a new finish well. Polished nickel is the most popular update.

    Yes, and most of our work starts that way. We strip the old plating down to the base metal, repair what needs repair, then plate it fresh. New plating over a failing layer never lasts, so we don't do it.

    We do. Along with single pieces for homeowners, we run batches of hundreds or thousands of parts for companies in California and other states. Send a photo of a sample, the quantity and the finish, and we'll quote the whole run.

    Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak. Some of them need extra prep so the plating bonds well, and we'll tell you up front if your part does.
