Plating Company Near La Habra

Old depot charm and busy shopping streets.

La Habra sits right on the line between Orange and Los Angeles counties, at the foot of the Puente Hills. Its old Union Pacific depot now houses a children's museum, and the older neighborhoods around downtown have homes from the 1920s to the 1950s. Light industry and shopping centers fill the rest of the city.

We work with La Habra by mail. Photos get you a written quote, and once you approve, the box travels to Oceanside in about a day by ground. We finish and inspect each part, then send your order back insured.

Homeowners send faucets, door sets and lighting. Small manufacturers send parts for plating and powder coat. Restaurants send rails and trim, and shops send storefront hardware and display pieces that need a fresh look.

What We Do

Plating Services in La Habra

La Habra commonly needs chrome plating, nickel plating and brass plating, with powder coating and tumble finishes for manufacturers.

Metal Finishing Services for La Habra

Downtown bungalows and hillside streets.

La Habra's older blocks near downtown have bungalows and ranch homes with hardware owners would rather keep: heavy door sets, original bath fixtures, porch lights. Stripping and a fresh chrome, nickel or brass finish give them another few decades. In the hills toward La Habra Heights, larger homes send lighting and gate hardware.

Small manufacturers in the city's industrial pockets send stamped and machined parts that need tumbling, plating or powder coat. Restaurants and shops in the shopping centers send rails, pulls and display fixtures in rounds so they never close for it.

    How It Works

    From La Habra to Our Shop

    01

    Get your quote first

    Send photos of every part with a short description. We reply with a written quote and a lead time, usually the same business day. Never ship before you have a quote number.

    02

    Pack it like it will be dropped

    Wrap each piece individually, keep metal from touching metal, and use at least three inches of padding on every side. Double box long trim and bumpers.

    03

    Insure and send the tracking

    Ship with any carrier, insure the box for what the parts are worth to you, and email us the tracking number so we know it is on the way.

    04

    Approve, then we ship back

    We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

    Usually, yes. Fixtures from that era are often heavy solid brass, better made than many new ones. We strip the worn finish, polish and plate chrome or nickel. Photos let us check for cracks before you remove anything.

    Yes. Hinges, latches and lanterns are stripped of rust and paint, repaired and refinished in powder coat or patina. Long gate sections usually ship by freight, so ask us first.

    Many do. Tumbling first removes burrs and smooths edges, then plating or powder coat goes on more evenly. A small sample batch comes first for your approval.

    Yes. Send them in rounds, and each round comes back before the next goes out. Tell us your busy weeks and we plan around them. Store fixtures labeled by department come back sorted the same way.

    Oil rubbed bronze and black patina suit many older homes, and powder coat is the toughest outdoors. Polished brass looks classic but needs lacquer and more care. Send one fixture first if you want to see the result.

    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.
