Plating Company Near San Bernardino

A crossroads city that still works hard.

San Bernardino has been a crossroads for a long time. The railroad came through in the 1800s, Route 66 passed through town, and today the area is one of the biggest logistics hubs in the country. All of that leaves a lot of metal around, from shop equipment to old signs and the hardware in early 1900s homes.

San Bernardino parts ship to us by ground and usually arrive the next business day. Send photos, get a written quote, then pack and ship. Our team strips, prepares, plates and checks every piece, then returns the order insured.

Logistics and distribution companies send brackets, frames and equipment parts for powder coating. Collectors send Route 66 era signs and memorabilia. Homeowners in the older neighborhoods north of downtown and in the foothills send lighting, door hardware and iron gates.

What We Do

Plating Services in San Bernardino

San Bernardino often needs powder coating, refurbishing and chrome plating, plus nickel plating and patinas for older home pieces.

Metal Restoration for San Bernardino Homes and Businesses

Warehouses, collectors and foothill homes.

The warehouses and rail operations around San Bernardino use a lot of steel. Brackets, guards and frames come to us for powder coating, often in tough textured finishes. We strip and pretreat them first, which makes the coating last much longer in hot, dry weather.

Collectors in the area love Route 66 history and the old motels and diners that once lined the road, and they send us signs, emblems and small memorabilia to be stripped and refinished. Homes in the older parts of the city and up toward the foothills have iron gates, porch lights and door hardware that our refurbishing work brings back.
