Metal Plating Services Near Colorado Springs

Garden of the Gods homes, plated for the long run.

Colorado Springs has stately old homes around the Broadmoor and downtown, bungalows in the Old North End and the shops of Old Colorado City. Many carry original brass hardware and light fixtures that have lost their luster and are worth saving.

Manitou Springs adds an artistic crowd, and the military bases bring families with heirlooms, ceremonial pieces and keepsakes. Hotels, restaurants and tourist shops around town also need hardware and fixtures that hold up to constant handling and a steady stream of guests.

Send us a few photos and a short note, and we reply with what we see and a written quote. There is no pressure and no obligation, and nothing starts until you approve the price. We inspect every piece again before it goes home.

What We Do

Plating Services in Colorado Springs

Requests from Colorado Springs include brass and gold for fixtures and ornaments, silver for heirlooms and ceremonial pieces, nickel and chrome for bath and kitchen hardware, and powder coating for gates and outdoor furniture.

Why Colorado Springs Customers Choose DMC

Keepsakes that deserve better, restored by hand.

Ceremonial pieces, trophies and keepsakes hold meaning that goes beyond metal. We clean, repair and refinish them with care, using brass, nickel, silver or gold depending on the piece. Every item is inspected before it goes back.

Bright sun, high altitude and sharp weather swings are hard on outdoor metal. For gates, rails and outdoor fixtures, we recommend coatings meant for tough weather. Indoor pieces get a decorative finish matched to the room.

Since 1989

Over three decades of plating, one shop in Oceanside.

Every part is stripped, prepped, plated and inspected in our own building, and our work comes with a 12 month workmanship guarantee. Send photos and we'll take it from there.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region ask us.

    Get a free quote

    Yes. We handle swords, bells, plaques and similar pieces with care, and we tell you first what is realistic. Send photos and any history you have, and we suggest a finish that respects the original.

    Often. Older homes tend to have thick brass or bronze under a worn surface. We strip and repair the metal, then rebuild a finish that suits the age of the house. Send photos of every piece.

    No. Plating happens at our shop and shipping is by regular ground carrier. The altitude and dry climate only matter for how the finished piece ages later, and we recommend finishes suited to that kind of weather.

    Tell us the date at the start. We cannot promise a date, but expedited service is sometimes available and we say plainly what is possible. A written quote lays out the timing so you can plan around it.

    Yes. Dealers and galleries send single pieces and whole groups, and we keep finishes honest to the period of each piece. Tell us what story the piece should tell, and we choose a finish that supports it.

    Yes, and most of our work starts that way. We strip the old plating down to the base metal, repair what needs repair, then plate it fresh. New plating over a failing layer never lasts, so we don't do it.

    We do. Along with single pieces for homeowners, we run batches of hundreds or thousands of parts for companies in California and other states. Send a photo of a sample, the quantity and the finish, and we'll quote the whole run.

    Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak. Some of them need extra prep so the plating bonds well, and we'll tell you up front if your part does.
