Chrome and Nickel Plating for Laguna Niguel

Hillside neighborhoods a few miles from the harbor.

Laguna Niguel spreads across the hills of south Orange County, with ocean views from many streets and Dana Point Harbor just a short drive away. Most homes date from the 1970s to the 2000s, and many are now being remodeled. Laguna Niguel Regional Park sits in the middle, and the ocean air reaches the western ridges.

Laguna Niguel customers send their parts by mail. Photos are enough for a written quote. A ground box usually reaches our shop the next business day, and after stripping, plating and inspection, it returns insured.

Homeowners send faucets, lighting and cabinet hardware from remodels. Designers send pieces that need polished nickel, brass or custom patinas. Boat owners who keep boats at the nearby harbor send cleats and rail fittings, and contractors send labeled batches.

Metal Plating Services in Laguna Niguel

Ocean view remodels and weekend boats.

Remodels in Laguna Niguel often trade original 1980s brass and chrome for polished nickel, satin brass or matte black. Solid older fixtures plate beautifully, so owners keep the quality and change the look. On the western ridges, outdoor lights and railings need finishes that handle sea air.

Many residents keep boats at the nearby harbor, and their cleats, chocks and rail fittings come to us for stripping, pit filling and nickel and chrome. Designers working in the area send custom pieces with a sample, and we match them by hand.

    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.

    Plating Questions from Laguna Niguel

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Laguna Niguel homeowners and boat owners often ask these.

    Yes, and it's one of our most common jobs. Solid brass fixtures from that era are excellent candidates. We strip the old finish, polish and plate polished nickel or another finish you choose, finishing a whole set together so everything matches.

    We do. We strip old plating, copper fill salt pits, buff and plate nickel and chrome. Bronze and brass hardware gives the best results, and small and medium pieces ship easily in a regular box.

    Nickel and chrome are the toughest near the coast, and powder coat is also durable. Brass and patinas look great but need sealing and more care. A fresh water rinse now and then helps any finish.

    Yes. Include the sample in the box, and we match by hand. For a series of pieces, we finish them together so the tone is consistent.

    Yes. We offer black nickel and black patinas indoors and black powder coat for outdoor pieces. Each has a different sheen, so tell us the look you want.

    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.
