Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Rancho Bernardo
A 1960s planned community along Interstate 15.
Rancho Bernardo was planned in the 1960s and 70s, and it still has that tidy, organized feel. The business park along Interstate 15 holds technology, defense and manufacturing companies. Golf courses and retirement communities fill much of the residential area, and the hills catch warm inland sun with little salt air.
Being 30 to 40 minutes away, many Rancho Bernardo customers drive their parts over. Send photos first for a quote, then drop off at our shop Monday to Friday, 8 to 4, and pick up when the work is done. If a drive doesn't fit your week, a ground parcel works just as well and tends to land overnight.
Tech and defense companies bring machined parts and prototypes for electroless nickel and gold. Golf and retirement communities bring clubhouse fixtures and rails. Homeowners bring faucets, lighting and patio pieces, and contractors bring batches from remodels.

View ServiceMetal Restoration for Rancho Bernardo Homes and Businesses
Defense contractors, clubhouses and hillside patios.
The business park along I 15 is home to companies building electronics, defense systems and precision equipment. They need coatings that hold tolerances and pass inspection. Being close means engineers can drop off a few first articles, review them, and then send the full run.
Golf and retirement communities in Rancho Bernardo refinish clubhouse bar rails, locker room fixtures and outdoor railings. Homes from the 1970s and 80s are getting updated, and owners bring solid faucets and lighting for polished nickel or brass, plus patio furniture that the inland sun has faded.

How Rancho Bernardo Customers Ship Parts to Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Rancho Bernardo engineers, communities and homeowners ask these.
Yes. Send the print and coating spec ahead so we can quote, then drop parts off any weekday between 8 AM and 4 PM. When the first articles pass your review, the full order follows the same process. Call (760) 746 3378 if you'd like to talk through the spec first.
They do. Bar rails, locker room faucets, lighting and outdoor railings go out in rounds while the clubhouse stays open, and our written finish notes keep the eighteenth hole railing matching the first tee.
We don't claim certifications we don't hold. Send your specification and quality requirements with the request, and we'll tell you plainly whether we can meet them. Many commercial and industrial parts don't need special certification, and we're glad to work on those.
Polished nickel, satin brass and matte black are popular. Solid fixtures from that era plate well.
Yes. We strip, repair and powder coat it. Bring smaller pieces in; larger sets may need a truck or freight.
It depends on the part. Older fixtures and hardware are often better made than what you can buy today, or simply can't be found anymore. Send us photos and we'll give you an honest answer, even if that answer is to buy a new one.
Yes. We work with hotels, casinos, restaurants, architects, contractors and manufacturers, as well as homeowners. For businesses we can plate a whole project to one finish so every piece matches.
