Chrome and Nickel Plating for Grand Terrace

Blue Mountain behind, the valley below.

Grand Terrace is a small city tucked between Colton and Riverside, with Blue Mountain rising behind it and views across the Inland Empire. It was once citrus land, and today it's mostly quiet neighborhoods from the 1950s through the 1980s, a few shopping centers along Barton Road and homes climbing the hillside. Summers are hot and the Santa Ana winds blow through in fall.

Grand Terrace parts reach us by ground, usually overnight. Photos get you a written quote. We strip, plate or coat and check each piece, and the finished order goes back insured.

Homeowners send faucets, lighting, door hardware and patio furniture. Hillside homes send gate hardware and outdoor lights. Small businesses on Barton Road send storefront pieces, and contractors send batches from remodels.

What We Do

Plating Services in Grand Terrace

Grand Terrace orders usually involve chrome plating, nickel plating and powder coating, plus refurbishing for gates and patio pieces.

Metal Plating Near Grand Terrace

Hillside gates, Barton Road shops and family backyards.

Homes up the hillside toward Blue Mountain have iron gates, railings and outdoor lights that catch the full force of the sun and the Santa Ana winds. Our refurbishing work strips them and refinishes them in powder coat that resists fading and wind blown grit far better than paint.

Down in the neighborhoods, families send solid faucets and door hardware from 1960s and 70s homes for a fresh look, plus patio furniture that the inland heat has bleached. Small businesses along Barton Road send storefront pulls and signs between busy seasons.

    Why Grand Terrace Sends Its Plating to DMC

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Grand Terrace homeowners and businesses ask us these.

    Yes. We strip rust and old paint, straighten bent bars, fill pits and powder coat the gate in the color you choose. Hinges and latches are masked or refinished separately so they keep working. Long sections ship by freight, so send measurements and a few photos first and we'll help plan it.

    Powder coat and nickel and chrome are much harder than paint and resist wind blown grit. Rinse fixtures with water after windy days rather than wiping them dry.

    Often they can. Many have solid brass bodies under worn chrome. We strip them, polish out minor pits and replate in chrome, polished nickel or brass. Send the whole set, including towel bars and toilet paper holders, and the bathroom comes back matching instead of mismatched pieces from different decades.

    Yes. Steel and iron deck railings are stripped, repaired and powder coated in a color that holds up to sun and wind. Long sections need freight, so measure them and send photos before removal. Many hillside owners pick dark bronze because it disappears against the view.

    Some do, usually in late winter before spring traffic. Shopkeepers get brass pulls polished and lacquered, and steel signs stripped and recoated. Painted lettering needs special care, so photograph both sides first.

    The shop is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. We're closed on Sunday. Shipments are received Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific.

    Usually, yes. Send a photo of the piece you want to match, or ship it along with your parts as a sample. We adjust the finish until the new work sits right next to the old.

    When the work is done and inspected, we pack your parts in fresh materials and ship them back insured. If you're close to Oceanside, you're welcome to pick them up instead.
