Oregon has plenty of older homes, and their faucets, light fixtures and door hardware often need new plating. We strip the worn finish and bring the metal back.
Restaurants, hotels, builders and manufacturers send larger orders too, from a handful of pieces to hundreds or thousands of parts.
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.
Oregon orders travel by ground, usually 2 to 4 days each way, and your finished pieces come home insured.
Send photos of every part with a short description. We reply with a written quote and a lead time, usually the same business day. Never ship before you have a quote number.
Wrap each piece individually, keep metal from touching metal, and use at least three inches of padding on every side. Double box long trim and bumpers.
Ship with any carrier, insure the box for what the parts are worth to you, and email us the tracking number so we know it is on the way.
We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Oregon customers. Call (760) 746 3378 if you need something else.
We are in Oceanside, California. Oregon customers ship their parts to us, and we return them insured.
Ground shipping from Oregon usually takes 2 to 4 days each way. Plating usually takes 3 to 5 weeks on top of that, and we do not promise dates.
Yes. We strip the old finish, fix dents and worn spots, then replate in chrome, nickel, brass, copper or another finish. Photos help us quote it.
Wrap each piece separately in soft padding and use a sturdy box so nothing rubs together in transit. Add a note with your name, phone number and the finish you want.
Yes. Our work carries a 12 month workmanship guarantee.
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.
