Metal Restoration for Vista Homes and Businesses

A business park city with a brewery on every corner.

Vista sits about ten miles inland along Highway 78 and the Sprinter line. The Vista Business Park covers roughly 1,600 acres and holds more than 800 companies, from manufacturers to equipment makers and contractors. The city also has more than a dozen breweries, plus older streets near downtown and newer neighborhoods like Shadowridge.

Most Vista customers drive their parts over, since our shop is so close. Send photos for a quote, then drop off Monday to Friday between 8 and 4. We call when the work is done and you pick it up. If shipping is easier, a ground box from Vista arrives the next business day.

Business park companies bring prototypes and production runs for plating, tumbling or powder coating. Breweries bring tap towers, handles and rails. Homeowners in Shadowridge and Buena Creek bring faucets, lighting and door sets, and older homes near downtown send original hardware.

What We Do

Plating Services in Vista

Vista brings us electroless nickel plating, tumble finishes and powder coating for manufacturers, and chrome plating and brass plating for breweries and homes.

Chrome and Nickel Plating for Vista

Production floors, taprooms and Shadowridge kitchens.

The Vista Business Park is one of the largest in the county, and many of its companies are our neighbors. That makes quick turnarounds on samples easier: a part can be dropped off one morning and the approved finish run in quantity afterward. Electroless nickel, tumbling and powder coating are the most common requests.

Vista's brewery scene keeps tap towers, handles, foot rails and bar trim moving through our shop. Chrome and nickel hold up to daily washing, and brass gives a warmer look when sealed. Homes across the city send faucets and fixtures that hard water and age have dulled.

    How It Works

    From Vista to Our Shop

    Dropping off is the norm from Vista. For the times a box is easier, follow these 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.

    How Vista Customers Ship Parts to Us

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Vista customers ask these questions more than any others.

    Get a free quote

    Yes. Being this close helps a lot with samples. Drop off a few parts, approve the finish when they are done, and then bring the full run. Call (760) 746 3378 if you want to talk through a spec before you come over.

    All the time. Tap towers, faucets, handles and rails come through often. We strip worn chrome or brass, polish and replate, and plan the work so a taproom keeps pouring while a few pieces at a time are out.

    Of course. Most Vista customers pick up. We let you know when the order passes inspection, and you can collect it during shop hours. Call first so it is boxed and waiting.

    If the faucet is solid brass, yes. We strip the worn finish, polish the metal and plate chrome, nickel or brass. Faucets with plastic parts can't be plated, so photos help us check first.

    Yes. Runs from a few dozen to thousands of parts are normal. We keep notes on every approved finish so repeat orders from Vista companies come out the same each time.

    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.

    Yes. Our workmanship is covered for 12 months. If something isn't right with the finish we put on, call us and we'll make it right.
