Metal Plating Company Serving Danbury

Candlewood Lake cottages to Main Street stores, metal needs care.

Danbury has an older downtown along Main Street, neighborhoods of mixed old and newer homes, and Candlewood Lake just up the road. The city's past as a hat making town left a long habit of craft, and many people here still like to repair rather than replace.

Lake houses and cottages hold boat fittings, lanterns and cabin hardware that spend summers in sun and water. The business district adds restaurants, shops and offices with fixtures and trim that need a matching finish across many pieces.

Show us what you have. Photos and a few words about the piece are plenty to start. We reply with a plain recommendation and a price in writing, and the work begins only when you decide to go ahead.

What We Do

Plating Services in Danbury

Danbury customers ask for brass and nickel for older homes, chrome and polished finishes for shops, patinas for cottages, silver for keepsakes and powder coating for railings, gates and outdoor furniture.

Working with DMC from Danbury

Lake house hardware, made ready for summer.

Lake cottages ask a lot of their hardware. Hinges, latches, lanterns and boat fittings sit through humid summers and freezing winters, and finishes do not last forever. We rebuild them with durable plating, ready for another long run of seasons.

Main Street shops and restaurants get matching finishes for handles, rails and trim. Sending the whole set together keeps color and shine consistent from piece to piece, and a single quote covers the entire order.

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.

    Yes. Lanterns, hinges, latches and hooks can be stripped, repaired and plated or powder coated. We choose a finish built for damp air and sun, and we explain how to care for it. Tell us how the piece is used.

    Yes, as far as you can. Remove shades, glass, bulbs and wiring, and keep the metal parts together. Mark which pieces belong with which lamp, and we return every one of them in order. Take photos before you take anything apart.

    Powder coating is thick and tough for gates and railings, and nickel with a sealer works for smaller pieces. We pick what fits the part, the weather and the look you want. Send a photo of the piece in its place.

    Often yes. Hand tools plate well when the steel is sound. We remove rust, repair pits and apply nickel or chrome. Tell us what each tool is, and we check whether plating suits it. Hand tools with deep cracks are better left alone.

    Good prep makes the biggest difference, and we do that part carefully. Every job is covered by our 12 month workmanship guarantee, and we send care notes so the finish stays looking good. Ask us any time about care or touch ups.

    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.
