last time I galvanized anything was 15 years ago, and I just looked in 
the Yellow Pages under Galvanizing.  Metal Plating or Metal Finishing 
would be another heading.  Once you get one business, you can call them, 
and they'll tell you where to call next.

An enormous amount of galvanizing is done for construction work, so it's 
just a matter of finding the appropriate "industrial" connection.

This is the kind of business you won't find in a "nice neighborhood"
Probably zoned M3 or something

You're in Santa Cruz area?  Check with people building stuff down by the 
harbor.  You might have to go the Bay Area (Oakland, San Jose).. e.g. 
Pacific Galvanizing in Oakland
