Long Beach Boulevard shops and tidy neighborhood blocks.
Lynwood is a compact city of about five square miles in southeast Los Angeles County, crossed by the 105 and Long Beach Boulevard. It has a busy commercial strip, light industrial pockets and neighborhoods of small homes from the 1920s to the 1950s that families have cared for over generations.
Lynwood customers work with us through shipping. We price the job from your photos. Once you ship, a ground box normally reaches us the next business day, and your parts return insured after plating and a final check.
Shops on Long Beach Boulevard send storefront hardware, signs and display fixtures. Small manufacturers send parts for plating or powder coat. Restaurants send rails and kitchen trim, and homeowners send faucets, door sets and wrought iron.
Lynwood orders often include chrome plating, nickel plating and powder coating, plus refurbishing for wrought iron and brass plating.

View ServiceStorefronts, small shops and front gates.
The businesses along Long Beach Boulevard rely on their storefronts, and worn pulls, signs and display fixtures make a shop look tired. We strip and replate them in chrome, nickel or brass. Small manufacturers in the industrial pockets send parts for powder coating or plating in batches.
Many Lynwood homes have wrought iron gates, window guards and porch railings. Over time paint peels and rust creeps in, and our refurbishing work removes the rust and refinishes them in powder coat. Inside, owners send solid faucets and door sets for replating.
Big order or a single knob, same care.
Homeowners send us one faucet. Companies in and out of state send production runs of hundreds or thousands of parts. Both get a written quote and the same inspection before anything ships back.
Lynwood orders arrive at our shop in four steps.
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.
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.
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.
We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

They can. Metal signs, letters, pulls and kick plates are stripped and refinished in chrome, nickel or brass. Painted areas need special care, so photos of both sides help us plan. Raised letters often come back crisp.

For durability, yes. Powder coat is baked on in a thick, even layer that resists chips and rust much better than paint, especially after proper blasting and pretreatment. It also comes in many colors.
If they are solid brass, usually. We strip, polish and plate chrome or nickel after checking for cracks. Most older faucets are heavier and better made than new ones.
