Metal Plating Services in El Monte

The end of the trail, the start of a lot of work.

El Monte has a long history. It was known as the end of the Santa Fe Trail, and a marker downtown still says so. Today it is a busy San Gabriel Valley city with factories, warehouses and machine shops in its industrial areas, plus a big restaurant scene and neighborhoods of postwar homes.

For El Monte the trip is short. We price the work from your photos, you send the box, and it normally reaches Oceanside overnight. Parts go through tumbling, plating or coating as the quote says, get a final look, and ride back insured.

Manufacturers and machine shops send production parts for plating, tumbling and powder coating. Restaurants send kitchen fixtures, rails and hardware that see heavy daily use. Homeowners send faucets, door sets and lighting from 1940s and 50s houses in the older neighborhoods around downtown El Monte.

What We Do

Plating Services in El Monte

El Monte orders often include chrome plating, nickel plating, tumble finishes and powder coating, plus metal polishing for stainless kitchen pieces.

Metal Restoration for El Monte Homes and Businesses

Factory floors, restaurant kitchens and postwar homes.

El Monte's industrial areas hold many small and mid sized manufacturers. They send stamped, cast and machined parts in quantity, often for tumbling first and then plating or powder coating. We keep batches consistent so every part in an order looks the same, whether it is a run of forty or four thousand.

The city's restaurants keep kitchens running hard, and stainless and chrome fixtures wear. We polish stainless and replate chrome and nickel so they look sharp again. Homeowners in the postwar neighborhoods send faucets and door sets they would rather restore than replace.

One Piece or a Thousand

Big order or a single knob, same care.

Homeowners send us one faucet. Companies in and out of state send production runs of hundreds or thousands of parts. Both get a written quote and the same inspection before anything ships back.

    Many do. Tumbling first removes burrs and smooths edges, then plating goes on evenly. We run a sample batch for your approval, then the full order.

    Yes. Stainless can be polished to a bright or satin finish without plating. It is often the quickest way to bring kitchen pieces back to a clean look.

    If they are solid brass, usually yes. We strip the old plating, polish the metal and replate in chrome, nickel or brass. Photos help us check for cracks or plastic parts first.

    That is how most kitchens do it. Send the pieces you can spare first, and we return them before you pull the next round. Shelf brackets, pass through trim and hood hardware are common, and stainless often only needs a polish.

    Yes. We strip, blast, pretreat and coat them in the color and texture you choose. Large pieces may need freight, so send sizes first.

    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.
