Metal Restoration for Indio Homes and Businesses

Date palms, polo fields and summers past 110 degrees.

Indio is the largest city in the Coachella Valley. Date palm groves and farms still surround it, and the polo grounds host some of the biggest music festivals in the world. Resorts and casino properties dot the valley. Summer heat regularly passes 110 degrees, and the sun can cook an outdoor finish in a few seasons.

Everything from Indio travels to us by ground over the San Gorgonio Pass, normally in a day. Photos get you a written quote. Pack the parts, ship, and we strip, plate or coat and inspect each piece before sending it back insured.

Growers and packing sheds send equipment parts for powder coating. Resorts and hotels send bath fixtures and door hardware in batches. Event and hospitality businesses send rails and fixtures, and homeowners send patio furniture and outdoor lights faded by the sun.

What We Do

Plating Services in Indio

Indio usually needs powder coating and refurbishing for outdoor metal, plus chrome plating, brass plating and nickel plating for resorts and homes.

Why Indio Sends Its Plating to DMC

Date groves, resort suites and backyard pools.

Agriculture around Indio means a lot of steel equipment that works in dust and extreme heat. Powder coating protects it better than paint, especially in light colors that stay cooler. Packing sheds send parts in batches, and we keep the color consistent from batch to batch.

Resorts and hotels in the valley refinish fixtures between busy seasons. We plate faucets, door hardware and rails in batches so rooms stay open. At home, patio sets, pool rails and outdoor lights fade fast in the sun, and refurbishing brings them back.

    Powder coat is usually the toughest choice, and lighter colors stay cooler to the touch. Nickel and chrome also handle heat well. Brass and patinas look great but are best kept in shaded or indoor spots.

    Yes. Many valley resorts send hardware during the slower summer months so it's back before peak season. Send a set of rooms at a time, and we plan the batches around your dates.

    We do. We strip, blast and pretreat the steel, then coat in the color and texture you choose. Repeat orders are matched to your approved color.

    Yes. Stainless rails can be polished, and plated rails can be stripped and replated. Rinse off chlorine and let them dry before shipping. Pool rails often have mounting cups, which we can finish to match.

    Some do. Rails, signs and fixtures can be refinished in the off season. Tell us your next event date, and we plan the work so everything is back in time.

    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.
