Metal Restoration for Norwalk Homes and Businesses

Postwar blocks along the 5 and the 605.

Norwalk sits where the 5 and the 605 meet, and much of it was built in the housing boom after World War II. The city has a busy civic center with county offices, shopping along Firestone and Imperial, and small industrial areas where shops make and repair all kinds of parts.

We work with Norwalk by mail. Photos come first. We send a written quote, you ship by ground, and the box usually arrives the next business day. After plating and inspection, your parts ship back insured.

Homeowners send faucets, door hardware and lighting from postwar houses. Small manufacturers send parts for powder coating and nickel. Offices and public buildings send handles and rails, and restaurants send kitchen pieces and trim. Auto repair and service shops along the main roads send small brackets and trim as well.

What We Do

Plating Services in Norwalk

Norwalk usually asks for chrome plating, nickel plating, powder coating and metal polishing, with tumble finishes for small parts.

Chrome and Nickel Plating for Norwalk

Civic buildings, small shops and tract homes.

Public buildings and offices in Norwalk have handles, push plates and rails that see thousands of hands. We replate them in chrome or nickel, which holds up to daily cleaning, or polish stainless pieces. Refinishing costs less than replacing and keeps everything matching. Building managers like knowing every door on a floor will match once the work is done.

Small industrial shops send brackets, housings and fittings for powder coating or plating, sometimes tumbled first. Homes from the 1950s send solid hardware that owners want to keep, and we match the original satin or polished finishes.

Since 1989

Over three decades of plating, one shop in Oceanside.

Every part is stripped, prepped, plated and inspected in our own building, and our work comes with a 12 month workmanship guarantee. Send photos and we'll take it from there.

    How It Works

    From Norwalk to Our Shop

    Norwalk orders follow these four steps.

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Norwalk customers often ask us these.

    Often it is, especially for solid commercial hardware. Refinishing also keeps every handle matching. Send photos and the count, and we quote both the work and the timing. Most commercial lever sets are heavy brass or steel, which plates cleanly.

    Tag each piece with its door or room number. We keep the tags on through the whole process and return everything sorted. Painter's tape and a marker work fine as tags.

    Yes. Tumbling smooths edges and removes burrs, which helps the coating go on evenly. We run a sample first so you can approve the look. It also makes small parts safer to handle on an assembly line.

    Usually, if they are solid brass. We strip, polish and plate them in chrome or nickel, and check for cracks before we start. Many Norwalk homes still have their original bathroom fixtures, and they are worth saving.

    We do. Stainless comes back bright or satin with hand polishing, no plating needed. Kitchens can usually keep working while a few pieces at a time are out with us.

    The shop is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. We're closed on Sunday. Shipments are received Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific.

    Usually, yes. Send a photo of the piece you want to match, or ship it along with your parts as a sample. We adjust the finish until the new work sits right next to the old.

    When the work is done and inspected, we pack your parts in fresh materials and ship them back insured. If you're close to Oceanside, you're welcome to pick them up instead.
