Trusted Metal Plating for Pueblo

A town built on metal, and metal that lasts.

Pueblo earned its Steel City nickname, and the pride in making things shows. People here keep tools, machinery and equipment going for decades. A new coating of nickel or electroless nickel can protect those parts from rust and wear for many more years.

Downtown, the old buildings along Union Avenue and the Riverwalk hold shops, restaurants and homes with original hardware and fixtures. The neighborhoods around Mesa Junction and Bessemer have older houses where brass, nickel and glass knobs are worth restoring.

You do not need to know the right finish in advance. Tell us what the piece is and how it is used, include photos, and we suggest what to do. A price in writing follows, so you can decide without any pressure.

What We Do

Plating Services in Pueblo

People in Pueblo ask for nickel and electroless nickel on tools and parts, chrome for trim and bath hardware, brass for lamps and fixtures, powder coating for gates and frames, and patinas for decor with an aged look.

What Pueblo Customers Get from DMC

Real steel town toughness, in a better coat.

Tools and machine parts do best with a coating built for wear. Electroless nickel reaches evenly into bores and threads, and standard nickel gives a hard, clean surface. We remove rust and old coatings first, so the new layer bonds to clean metal.

Homes get something different. Brass doorknobs, chrome faucets and lamp bases are chosen for look and feel as much as protection. Dry Colorado summers and cold winters are easy on metal, and a proper finish will last for many years.

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.

    Common Questions from Pueblo Customers

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What Pueblo and southern Colorado customers want to know.

    Get a free quote

    Yes. It is applied chemically, so it covers evenly even in bores and across threads. That makes it a good choice for wear and corrosion protection. We explain which version fits your parts when we send the written quote.

    Yes. Doorknobs, hinges, mail slots and fixtures from older buildings are good candidates. We strip the surface, repair pits and rebuild the finish. Send photos of each piece, front and back, so we see the condition.

    Tell us the size and weight before you pack. Larger pieces can travel crated or on a pallet by freight, and we explain how to prepare them. Nothing gets sent until the quote is settled.

    Cooking hardware needs care. We can plate or powder coat handles, hinges and exterior parts, but not surfaces that touch food unless the finish is suited for it. Tell us what the part does, and we advise.

    No. Leave the rust to us. Stripping, cleaning and surface repair are part of the job. Just wrap each tool so edges do not damage each other, add padding and a packing list, and insure the box.

    Not at all. Most of what comes through our door is home and business hardware: faucets, light fixtures, door handles, cabinet pulls, railings and decorative pieces. We also work for hotels, restaurants, boat owners and manufacturers.

    Tell us what the part is, roughly how big it is, how many pieces you have and the finish you're after. If you know the metal, mention it. If not, that's fine. We can usually tell from the photos.

    Every part is quoted on its own. The biggest factors are condition, the base metal, size and shape, the finish you choose and how many pieces you send. A part with deep pits or broken spots takes more work before it can be plated.
