Metal Plating Services in La Palma

From dairy town to one of the county's smallest cities.

La Palma started as Dairyland, a farming town full of cows, and renamed itself in the 1960s as homes replaced the pastures. Today it's one of Orange County's smallest cities, almost entirely residential, with Central Park in the middle and a few office buildings near the 91. Most homes date from the late 1960s and 1970s and are well kept.

La Palma orders ship to us by ground and generally arrive the following business day. A few photos are all we need for a quote. Each piece is stripped, plated and checked, then returned insured.

Homeowners send faucets, towel bars, door sets and light fixtures from 1970s houses. Office managers send handles and restroom fixtures. Small businesses send storefront hardware, and families send keepsakes and lamps.

What We Do

Plating Services in La Palma

La Palma mostly orders nickel plating, chrome plating and brass plating, with home decor restoration for lamps and heirlooms.

Metal Finishing Services for La Palma

Ranch house baths, office suites and park side porches.

Since La Palma was built out in a short window, many homes share similar hardware from the late 1960s and 70s: heavy brass entry sets, chrome faucets and wood and brass light fixtures. Owners like keeping the solid originals and changing the finish to polished nickel, satin brass or matte black.

Office buildings near the freeway send door handles and restroom fixtures in sets, and we return them sorted by floor. Families send lamps, candlesticks and heirloom pieces, and porch lights near Central Park come in for powder coat when the sun has faded them.

    Why La Palma Sends Its Plating to DMC

    Frequently Asked Questions

    La Palma homeowners and office managers often ask these.

    Yes. Solid brass entry sets from that era take a new finish very well. We strip the old lacquer and brass finish, then apply black nickel for a dark, slightly glossy look or a black patina for a flatter one. Send the whole set, including the strike plate and screws, so everything matches.

    Yes, the metal parts. Remove the wood and glass, send the brass parts, and we strip and refinish them. You reassemble or have an electrician do it.

    Yes. Send every fixture, or one floor at a time with a list, and we finish them in a single consistent tone. We keep the process on file, so if a faucet needs refinishing two years from now, it will still match the rest of the building.

    Yes, and we treat it that way. Pack it in a sturdy box with plenty of padding, or have a pack and ship counter do it. We take it apart carefully, keep every screw and finial together, and return it ready to rewire. If a part is too fragile to strip, we call you before doing anything.

    Yes. Powder coat comes in many colors, from classic black to bronze, white or a custom shade. It handles sun and sprinklers much better than spray paint. Remove the glass and bulbs first, and we'll return the fixture ready to reinstall.

    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.
