    Brace yourself for an old school, large scale plating factory replete with lots of people doing various jobs. My initial trip here was for a large format doorknob I designed and had manufactured elsewhere. Allan and his team were great in plating it to have a worn, bronze look. Exactly what I wanted. My most recent trip involved having a back plate for a custom light fixture plated. I had manufactured it elsewhere and brought it here to color match to the original hardware. Again, job well done with both projects keeping me on budget. I really appreciate the attention to detail.

    The Antique Brass plating came out amazing! I didn't expect anything less! GBP has been my go-to since the start of my accessory business - I'm one happy owner....with several happy customers!!! Thank you again to all the GBP team for taking such good care of me throughout the years. -Wendy, Owner of Blue Ribbon Buckle Co.®

    1927 window hinges
    Franklin M.

    I'm slowly restoring my 1927 home and wanted the original window hinges brass plated. I could buy new repro hinges but I'd rather have the original ones restored. I brought them in to this busy plating company and I had to wait a bit to get a price for the work. I was told it would be a ten day turn around when the plating job should be finished.

    Beautifully Refinished Cookware!

    Wow, fantastic quality, service, and price! Took the copper cookware I bought in France over 30 years ago in for re-tinning and after Mr. Olick and his crew was done with them, they looked better than new! When I asked about the environmental fee, he patiently explained how all the the state's over-the-top environmental regulations cost him over a hundred thousand dollars a year in compliance costs. Even more, he educated me on the ever-increasing cost of doing business in California - thanks to the anti business policies and laws passed be the state legislature and leftist governor. What a refreshing experience - honesty and sincerity from a business owner who really cares about his people. I'll be back with any future plating needs for sure!! Finally, I don't usually include politics in my Yelp reviews, but I felt like Brian S's negative comments about Mr. Olick's political opinions needed a counterpoint, something the left-leaners seem to find hard to accept....

    Before stripping and replacing in satin nickel.

    I used this company two years ago to remove the gold plating from a spigot and handle set for a bathtub and to replate them in a satin nickel finish. Initially I was concerned about some reviews/reports I had read online about their turn around time and also issues communicating with the company. However, I was pleasantly surprised that after some initial delay in getting ahold of them that they kept me appraised of their progress towards completion of the order. As I needed the parts to close escrow on the house I was updating, meeting the quoted delivery time was important (which they did). The quality of the work was simply outstanding, and the price was less than purchasing replacement parts in satin nickel (which were no longer available). I couldn't be happier with the results.

    Amazing company! I had almost given up finding a place that would apply a chrome finish on my old wrought iron coffee table, which looked terrible when I bought from an online dealer. General Brite Plating did a fantastic job of chrome plating it, were delightful to work with, gave the table special attention, charged me a reasonable price, and ventured an educated guess that that its top is probably from a 150-year-old Spanish door. I am thrilled with my gorgeous, better-than-new table - now with a history!

    Seatpost after the 3rd time, I gotta go elsewhere, and I'm out 700 bucks
    Mike B.

    They had to do my bike frame 3 times, and I'm still not happy with it, taking my forks straight to another plater to be redone, the first time the frame was done they said it was my metal, but ironically the second time they were able to correct that blemish, but then there was another blemish from the wire they hung the frame from. I feel as if they think I should be grateful for them redoing my stuff, but it should have gotten done right the first go around. The frame still has chrome dross where the seatpost goes, so who knows if I'll be able to finish that off without messing the chrome up. More than likely I'll have the frame and for sure the forks done at another shop. Super disappointed, and out a lot of money only to have to pay someone else to redo it. I'd avoid this place at al cost.

I reached out to Marco after reviewing the impressive samples of his work on his website and we couldn't be happier with the result. Two things became abundantly clear while talking to Marco about our door after he completed his inspection: (1) the man loves his work; and (2) he is a craftsman. Marco took ample time to explain what issues he found with our door and explain what his restoration process would entail, in addition to answering my questions that came up as he went along. In about a week, Marco renovated our door from its sun and water-damaged state to looking like it had just rolled out of the factory with a striking new finish that he created on the spot. The refinished door has transformed our front doorway and makes it pop in a way that it hasn't at any point since we bought the house. I highly recommend contacting Marco.
