Joe's Metal Polishing

Description of Work
Jose D. Lopez is the proprietor and, I think, the only one there. It's a tiny little shop -- he's in a back stall in one of those buildings that house auto repair shops, etc. I'm not sure how we found him in 2007, but he does amazing work for less than half of the other estimates we got. You almost have to ask for him because there are no signs on Vanowen that say "Metal Polishing". We had had such a good experieice with him in the past that, in the summer of 2011, we went back. Joe polished two very old and tarnished wall heater grates from our bathrooms. They were over 60 years old and he did an amazing job with them. He charged us $45 for each one and now they look like something out of Restoration Hardware. Also, which was more amazing, in May of 2007 we were painting much of our home's interior and we took him many very tarnished brass door knobs, cabinet knobs, latches, etc. and they came back looking better than ever and still look like new.
