Metal Plating Services in Garden Grove

A city that grew up in the 1950s.

Garden Grove went from strawberry fields to suburbs almost overnight after World War II, so many of its homes are 1950s and 60s ranch houses. Their hardware is often mid century style, with simple lines and solid metal. On the commercial side, hotels along Harbor Boulevard serve visitors to the nearby resort area.

From Garden Grove, parts come to us by ground shipping and usually arrive overnight. You start with a few photos and we answer with a written quote. Ship the box, and we take care of stripping, plating and a careful inspection before we ship it back insured.

Hotels and restaurants send door pulls, bath trim and rails. Small manufacturers in the city's industrial areas send parts for plating or powder coating. Homeowners send mid century door sets, lamps and fixtures they want to keep.

What We Do

Plating Services in Garden Grove

Garden Grove customers ask most for chrome plating, nickel plating and brass plating, with powder coating and metal polishing for business orders.

Metal Finishing Shop Serving Garden Grove

Ranch houses, hotel rooms and busy kitchens.

Mid century homes have a look many owners love, and the hardware is part of it. Satin chrome, brushed nickel and polished brass were common then, and we plate them again so a remodel keeps its era. We see a lot of door sets, cabinet pulls and bathroom accessories from these houses.

Hotels on Harbor Boulevard need hardware that holds up to constant use and cleaning. We replate bath trim, door hardware and fixtures in batches so rooms stay in service. Restaurants across Garden Grove send rails, pulls and kitchen pieces with the same need.

    Why Garden Grove Sends Its Plating to DMC

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Garden Grove customers often ask us about these things.

    Get a free quote

    Yes. Satin chrome was very common on 1950s hardware, and we can plate it again. Send one original piece as a sample, and we match the sheen so new and old pieces look the same.

    They do. Hotels often send a set of rooms at a time so nothing is left without hardware. Tell us the count and timing, and we plan the batches to fit your schedule.

    We strip and replate it, often in chrome or nickel, which handles daily cleaning well. For stainless pieces, polishing may be all you need. Photos help us suggest the right option.

    Sealed with clear lacquer, polished brass stays bright with just a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid brass polish on lacquered pieces, since it strips the seal and leaves spots.

    Yes. We handle runs from a few dozen to thousands of parts. Send the count, finish and any drawings, and we quote by part and plan the batches.

    Not at all. Most of what comes through our door is home and business hardware: faucets, light fixtures, door handles, cabinet pulls, railings and decorative pieces. We also work for hotels, restaurants, boat owners and manufacturers.

    Tell us what the part is, roughly how big it is, how many pieces you have and the finish you're after. If you know the metal, mention it. If not, that's fine. We can usually tell from the photos.

    Every part is quoted on its own. The biggest factors are condition, the base metal, size and shape, the finish you choose and how many pieces you send. A part with deep pits or broken spots takes more work before it can be plated.
