Metal Plating Services in Palm Desert

Golf courses, galleries and blazing summers.

Palm Desert is the shopping and arts center of the Coachella Valley, with galleries, boutiques and restaurants along El Paseo and dozens of country clubs and golf communities around town. Many homes are seasonal, owned by people who spend winters here and summers elsewhere. July heat is intense, and sun bleaches anything left outside.

Palm Desert pieces ship to us over the San Gorgonio Pass by ground, typically in one business day. We price the job in writing from your photos. Our team strips, plates or coats and inspects each piece, and we ship the finished order back insured.

Country clubs send locker room fixtures, bar rails and clubhouse lighting. Galleries and boutiques on El Paseo send display fixtures and decor. Designers working on resort style homes send plumbing and lighting for gold, brass or nickel, and owners send patio furniture and pool rails.

What We Do

Plating Services in Palm Desert

Palm Desert orders often include gold 24k plating, brass plating and nickel plating for interiors, with powder coating for patios and pools.

Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Palm Desert

Clubhouses, galleries and poolside cabanas.

Country clubs refresh their clubhouses and locker rooms during the quiet summer months, so June through September is when a lot of Palm Desert work arrives. Bar rails, lockers, faucets and lighting come in by the box, and we return everything matched before the season starts in the fall.

Seasonal homeowners often schedule refinishing while they're away. Designers send faucets, sconces and cabinet hardware for satin brass, polished nickel or gold accents. Patio furniture and pool rails come in for light colored powder coat or replating, so the backyard is ready when the owners come back.

    How It Works

    From Palm Desert to Our Shop

    Palm Desert customers usually work with us like this.

    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.

    Plating Questions from Palm Desert

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Palm Desert clubs, designers and homeowners ask us these.

    Get a free quote

    Yes, and summer is the ideal window. Send fixtures in rounds or all at once, labeled by locker bank or room, and tell us when the club reopens. Standard turnaround runs 3 to 5 weeks, so starting in June leaves room for several rounds before fall.

    Absolutely. Many seasonal homes are handled entirely by a designer or house manager. We send the quote and updates to whoever you name, and ship finished pieces to the address you choose, whether that's the house, the designer's studio or a contractor.

    Indoors, yes. Gold over a nickel barrier stays bright with gentle cleaning: mild soap, soft cloth, no abrasives. Hard water spots are the main concern in the valley, so drying faucets after use keeps them looking their best.

    Chrome over nickel or polished stainless are the toughest choices around pools. Rinse off chlorine and minerals now and then. For patio furniture, light colored powder coat stays coolest in the sun.

    They can. Pedestals, brackets and decorative metal pieces are refinished in brass, nickel, gold or a patina to suit the space. Large pieces may need a crate, so send photos with sizes first.

    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.
