Metal Plating Services in Miami

South Beach, Coral Gables and the Bay, all hard on metal.

Miami is full of metal with character. Art Deco hotels on Ocean Drive, Mediterranean Revival homes in Coral Gables, mid century apartments and waterfront condos on Biscayne Bay all have fixtures and hardware that take a beating from the coast.

Marinas and yacht owners send cleats, rail fittings and wheel hardware, and hotels and restaurants need lobby trim, rails and handles that look sharp for guests. Designers in Wynwood and the Design District also ask for custom finishes in brass, gold and black.

Show us what you have. A few photos and a short description tell us most of what we need. We reply with a clear opinion and a price in writing, so you can decide in your own time and with all the facts.

What We Do

Plating Services in Miami

Miami requests include chrome and nickel for marine hardware, brass and 24k gold for hotels and designer lighting, black finishes for modern interiors, polished finishes for restaurants and powder coating for balconies and gates.

Why Miami Sends Its Plating to DMC

Deco shine and bay breezes, a hard test for metal.

Hotels and restaurants go through hardware quickly. Rails, handles, plates and lobby pieces are touched all day, and the salt air does the rest. We plate whole sets in one batch so every piece matches, with finishes built for heavy use.

Yachts and condos have their own demands. Marine hardware needs a thick nickel and chrome build, and balcony railings and gates need powder coating that handles sun and spray. We choose the coating for the job and explain how to care for it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions from Miami and the rest of Miami Dade.

    Yes. We plate every piece in one batch so color and shine stay consistent. A sample piece can be done first for approval, and a single written quote covers the whole project, however many pieces there are.

    Nickel and chrome over a proper copper base resist salt well. We strip the old plating, fill pits and rebuild the surface. A quick fresh water rinse after each trip keeps the finish bright. Do not let salt dry on it.

    Yes. Original chrome, brass and nickel pieces from Deco era buildings can be stripped, repaired and refinished. Send photos with any markings, and tell us if the finish should look original or new. Photos of the original finish are a big help.

    Powder coating is thick and tough, and it handles sun and spray better than most paint. For railings, we prepare and coat sections, and you can send them in pieces. Tell us the sizes and the color.

    Yes, as closely as the metals allow. Send samples or reference photos, and we work toward them. A sample piece can be finished first, so the designer approves the result before the full order is done.

    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.
