Metal Plating Services Near Norwalk

Rowayton porches and SoNo kitchens, all kinds of metal.

Norwalk sits right on Long Island Sound, with boats at every marina, older homes in Rowayton and East Norwalk and the restaurant strip in South Norwalk. Salt air and spray do a lot of damage to metal, and finishes fade faster than they should.

The Lockwood Mathews Mansion area and the older neighborhoods have original brass and nickel fittings that deserve care. Hospitality and retail venues around the harbor also need fixtures and handles refinished, often in a matching set that has to look right together.

Tell us about your piece with a few photos and a line or two. We reply with an honest view of what it needs and a written price. The choice is yours, and nothing begins until you tell us to go ahead.

What We Do

Plating Services in Norwalk

Norwalk customers ask for nickel and chrome for boat hardware, brass and gold for fixtures and lighting, silver for family pieces, patinas for older homes and powder coating for outdoor railings and furniture.

How DMC Serves Norwalk Customers

Salt spray is hard on metal, we fix that.

Boats and shoreline homes put hardware through constant salt exposure. Cleats, hinges, latches and rail fittings all pit and fade. We strip them, copper fill the pits and plate nickel and chrome over a solid base, so the finish stays bright longer.

Inside the house the finish choice is more about looks. A bright faucet, a warm brass lamp or a soft satin handle can pull a room together. We help you choose, and finish every piece in a set so the whole room matches.

    Rinse it with fresh water after each trip and dry it off. A light coat of wax now and then helps. Avoid harsh cleaners, and we send simple care notes with every returned order. It is a small habit that pays off.

    Usually yes. We strip the old chrome, fill the pits with copper, polish the surface and rebuild with nickel and chrome. Heavily corroded pieces may not be worth saving, and we tell you before charging anything.

    A durable finish such as nickel, or a sealed brass with a protective coat, handles sun and rain. For a tougher choice we can powder coat parts that suit it. Send photos of the set.

    Yes. Flatware, trays and serving bowls can be polished and plated with silver, including food safe options. Send photos and tell us how the pieces are used, so we choose the right finish. Tell us if they will be used for food.

    Late fall and winter are popular, since boats come out of the water and parts have time to be restored. Send them whenever it suits you, and we tell you how long the work will take.

    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.
