Mark and Edward run a classic metals restoration shop. Not only are they friendly and a delight to work with, they know their business exceptionally well and are delighted to take the time to convey it to customers. For example, they don't just dip a hinge and polish it; they disassemble it, and then clean and polish the individual pieces. They know more about the precise construction of the items that their clients bring in to them than their clients do. For the Scottish clock pictured, they even silver-soldered for me the striking arm, which had snapped, rendering the chime inoperative. If you take enormous pride in the brass and silver pieces that you possess, these are the folks who can clean and polish them, providing you with a finish that is \show\ condition. The antique desk shown was built in the late 1700s. I am told that the only other one of its kind is (or was) in the White House. Removing the brass fixtures was a meticulous chore in and of itself. The escutcheons are of a thin brass, which I feared might get destroyed if placed against a polishing wheel. Mark and Edward assured me that such would not be permitted to occur. They were right! So, now we have an updated antique that will hopefully survive me by many, many years. Thanks to the expertise of CB!

I brought in the badly tarnished brass fittings from our stereo stand and had them polished, given a satin finish and lacquered. They are beautiful again and the people at Colonial Brass are awesome. They know their art, they offer good advice and they do their work very well.
These guys are true craftsman. Our family has owned an old and very beat up brass spittoon that dates to the early 1900's, maybe earlier. It's been in my family for decades, having come out of a bank that my father remodeled in the 1950's. I once paid to have it restored, and the guy just made it worse, a nice guy, but brass restoration wasn't his strong suit. I thought I'd give Colonial Brass a try, and they did a PHENOMENAL restoration. It wasn't cheap, but you get what you pay for, and we couldn't be happier. I highly recommend them, give them your business, you won't be disappointed.
Working with Mark and Edward has been a great pleasure. I am working on a 1910 brass-era car and Mark has been a tremendous help in polishing and plating some of the parts. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Colonial Brass for all your brass polishing and plating needs. They are the best in Houston definitely go the extra mile to satisfy customers. Mike Hanson
I have taken a number of pieces to Mark and Edward and they do an amazing job of fixing and improving. They do very meticulous work in a careful way to care for very old items and they can do any kind of surface you might desire new or old. We had this large bowl from a dear family friend given to us 35 years and it had become so awful, that for the last 15-20 years, it has sat in our closet waiting for rebirth. See the picture -simply stunning how well they have made it look. And they do this old world craftsman work at a reasonable rate and return time frame. Nobody comes close to what they can do. Next up is the large silver tray below it that needs a wonderful shine and lacquer!
