Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in SacramentoWe take care of metal plating for Sacramento customers who want old hardware saved and new parts finished well. Homeowners, contractors, restaurants and manufacturers ship to our Oceanside shop, and we ship everything back plated, inspected and insured.
Tree lined streets and a lot of old brass.
Sacramento has some of the oldest neighborhoods in California. Midtown, East Sacramento and Land Park are full of early 1900s homes, and many still have their first door hardware, sconces and bath fixtures. Old Sacramento adds historic storefronts. That makes this a city where restoration plating gets a lot of use.
Sacramento work comes to us by mail. Send photos, get a written quote, then ship your parts by ground. Most boxes reach us in one to two business days. We strip the old finish, repair small damage, plate and inspect, and ship the order back insured.
Our Sacramento customers include restorers working on Midtown homes, contractors handling remodels in Land Park, and restaurants downtown that need durable trim. Manufacturers in the region send production parts, and agencies and building managers send hardware that has to match what is already installed.
Sacramento orders often include nickel plating and brass plating for period hardware, patinas like oil rubbed bronze, chrome plating and copper plating.

Much of the city's housing went up before World War II, so remodels often turn up hardware worth saving. Contractors box it up and send it to us in sets, labeled by room. We match finishes so a house ends up with hardware that looks like it always belonged together.
Sacramento also has a strong restaurant scene and plenty of commercial buildings. Restaurants send rails, pulls and kitchen trim. Building managers send handles and plates that need to match older installations, and regional manufacturers send small production parts that need consistent plating.

Customers all over the country pack their parts and ship them to our Oceanside shop. We finish them, inspect them and send them back insured. It starts with a few photos.
This is how most Sacramento customers send their parts to us.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here is what Sacramento customers usually ask us.
Yes. When a Sacramento remodel sends a whole house of hardware, we finish it as one set so the tone is the same on every piece. Label pieces by room and we return them grouped the same way.
Ground shipping from Sacramento usually takes one to two business days to our Oceanside shop. We let you know when it arrives and ship it back the same way, insured.
Polished or satin nickel and antique brass are popular choices, and oil rubbed bronze suits darker interiors. If you have one original piece in good shape, we use it as the color sample for the rest.
We often do. Send a sample piece or clear photos of what is installed, and we plate the new or repaired parts to match. Patinas are matched by hand, so a sample helps us get close.
Yes. We plate runs from a few dozen to thousands of parts. Tell us the finish, the quantity and any masking needs, and we quote the job and confirm timing before you ship.
Send us a few photos of the part from different angles, along with what it is and the finish you want. We look them over and send a written quote, usually within 24 business hours. It's free, and you're under no obligation to go ahead.
Standard orders take 3 to 5 weeks from the day your parts arrive. If you're on a deadline, ask about expedited service. When the schedule allows, we can finish in 5 to 7 business days.
