Chrome and Nickel Plating for West Covina

A San Gabriel Valley suburb with hillside views.

West Covina spreads from the 10 freeway up into the South Hills, where larger homes look out over the valley. Most neighborhoods were built from the 1950s to the 1970s. The Plaza and the shopping streets around it keep retailers and restaurants busy, and remodels are constant across the city. Large lots and backyard patios are common up the hill.

West Covina orders arrive by ground shipping, usually the next business day. Send photos for a written quote, ship when you're ready, and we take care of stripping, plating and inspection. The finished parts return insured.

Homeowners in the South Hills send lighting, door hardware and bath fixtures. Contractors send pieces from remodels. Restaurants and shops send rails, pulls and display hardware, and families send patio furniture and outdoor lights.

Plating Company Near West Covina

Hillside remodels and shopping center storefronts.

Homes in the South Hills often get high end remodels, and owners want lighting and hardware that look custom. We plate polished nickel, unlacquered looking brass and matte black finishes. Older homes elsewhere in the city send original 1960s hardware for a refresh.

Retail and restaurant businesses around the Plaza send display hardware, rails and pulls. Some stainless pieces need only polishing. Contractors send batches of fixtures from several homes at once, labeled so everything returns to the right job. It saves contractors a lot of time on the install day.

One Piece or a Thousand

Big order or a single knob, same care.

Homeowners send us one faucet. Companies in and out of state send production runs of hundreds or thousands of parts. Both get a written quote and the same inspection before anything ships back.

    Why West Covina Sends Its Plating to DMC

    Frequently Asked Questions

    West Covina customers often begin with these questions.

    We offer black nickel and black patinas, plus black powder coat for outdoor pieces. Each has a different sheen, so tell us the look and we suggest the right one. Black nickel stays a little glossy, while patinas go flat and soft.

    No need. Keep the glass at home and send only the metal parts. It lowers the risk of breakage and keeps the box lighter.

    If it's stainless, yes. Polishing brings it back without plating. Chrome or nickel pieces with worn spots need replating. Photos of the worn spots help us tell which kind you have.

    Yes. Label each job and include a list. We keep the pieces separate through the whole process. That way three remodels can go out in one box and still come home separately.

    Yes. We strip the original finish and plate whatever you choose, from polished nickel to brass. The solid old hardware usually plates very well. Old 1960s door levers are a good example: heavy, well made, and easy to update.

    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.
