Plating Company Near Escondido

Victorian streets, groves and hot inland summers.

Escondido has one of the best collections of old homes in North County. The Old Escondido neighborhood is full of Victorian and Craftsman houses with original hardware. Around the city, avocado and citrus groves cover the hills, and summers are hot. Hard water also leaves its mark on faucets and fixtures.

From Escondido, a lot of customers just drive their parts over. Send photos first so we can quote, then bring everything to our shop during receiving hours. If it is easier, ship by ground instead, which usually takes one business day. Pick up or delivery are both options.

Owners of Old Escondido homes bring hinges, knobs and lighting. Breweries bring tap handles and bar hardware. Growers and ranches bring gate hardware and equipment parts, and light manufacturers in the city bring production parts for plating or powder coating.

What We Do

Plating Services in Escondido

Escondido asks for nickel plating and brass plating on period hardware, chrome plating for bars and kitchens, plus powder coating and refurbishing for ranch pieces.

Metal Restoration for Escondido Homes and Businesses

Taprooms, groves and Old Escondido parlors.

The Old Escondido historic district is a gift for restoration work. Hinges, door plates, window hardware and gas era lights come in, often painted over, and we strip and plate them in period finishes. Because the drive is short, owners can bring a door set in one week and another the next.

Escondido's brewery scene sends tap towers, rails and handles that see a lot of hands every day. Ranches and groves on the edges of the city send gate hardware and equipment parts. Hard water damage on faucets and showerheads is something we see often from local homes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Escondido customers often ask us these first.

    Yes. We are about 25 to 30 minutes from Escondido. Send photos first so we can quote, then drop parts off Monday to Friday between 8 AM and 4 PM. You can pick them up when they are ready.

    Light spots can sometimes be polished off. Deeper wear goes through the plating, so we strip the old finish, polish the brass and replate it. Solid brass faucets come back looking new.

    We do. Tap towers, handles, rails and fittings are common pieces. Chrome and nickel are durable picks, and brass gives a warm look when sealed with lacquer.

    Almost always. We strip the paint and old finish, repair small damage, and plate it fresh. Fine details on cast hardware come back sharp once the paint is gone.

    Yes. Our refurbishing work removes rust and old paint, repairs pitting and bends, and refinishes in powder coat or a patina. Bring smaller pieces in, and ask us about large gates.

    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.
