Chrome, Nickel and Brass Plating in Everett

Jets, ships and an old mill town.

Everett is home to one of the largest aircraft assembly plants in the world, next to Paine Field, and hundreds of suppliers work around it. A Navy base and a very large public marina share the waterfront. The city began as a lumber and mill town, and the homes on Rucker Hill date from those years.

For Everett suppliers and boat owners alike, the first step is the same: send drawings or photos. Our quote arrives in writing. Ground freight usually takes two to four business days to Southern California. We run the job, inspect it and insure the trip home.

Supplier shops ask about coatings on brackets, fittings and tooling. Boat owners ask about deck and cabin hardware. Navy families and longtime residents send household pieces and heirlooms.

What We Do

Plating Services in Everett

Everett asks for electroless nickel plating and tumble finishes on supplier parts, boat and yacht parts and chrome plating for the marina crowd, and nickel plating for older homes.

Metal Plating Services in Everett

Tooling, deck cleats and Rucker Hill hardware.

Tooling and fixtures used on a shop floor take abuse. An even layer of electroless nickel, sometimes with PTFE for slickness, protects them and keeps parts from sticking. Small hardware in quantity can be tumbled first to remove burrs and round the edges.

On the docks, the enemy is Puget Sound itself. Cold salt water and damp air work on plating year round. We strip marine hardware to bare bronze, brass or stainless, repair pitting with copper and rebuild the finish. Parts that fit in a regular box are ideal.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes. Electroless nickel is common on tooling because it coats evenly and adds wear and corrosion resistance. A PTFE composite version is available where release or sliding matters. Heat treatment after plating is available when a tool needs more hardness than nickel gives on its own.

    They can. Parts are tumble finished first, then plated, and returned ready to use. We process a sample batch before the full quantity so you can approve the result. Tell us which edges must stay sharp, because tumbling rounds everything it touches.

    Cleats, chocks, rail fittings, hinges, latches and cabin hardware. In short, anything that fits a regular box. Larger items are possible, but freight becomes a bigger part of the cost.

    Yes. Give us the new address and when you expect to arrive. We ship finished work insured to wherever you are stationed next. Many of our Navy customers do exactly this, so a change of station is no reason to put the work off. Just keep us posted on dates.

    Steels both carbon and alloy, plus stainless, aluminum, copper, brass and bronze. Send the alloy when you know it, because preparation differs between them. If the part is an unusual alloy, send the spec sheet and we will confirm before you ship anything. Guessing at a base metal never ends well.

    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.
