Why Choose Our NYC
Hardware Restoration Services?
If you own a brownstone, pre-war apartment, or historic property, original hardware is an essential part of its charm. Over time, metals like brass, bronze, and iron tarnish, corrode, or lose their original finish. Instead of replacing, restore your antique hardware to its original beauty.
We use a meticulous step-by-step process to ensure that each
piece is cleaned, repaired, and refinished with care.
