What we weld

Five kinds of job make up most of the week. If yours isn't here, call anyway: if it's steel and it's broken, we can usually tell you on the phone whether it's worth fixing.

  1. Custom gate fabrication

    Driveway gates, walk gates and ranch gates, built to the opening you actually have. Swing or slide, square tube or pipe, plain or with pickets and an arched top. We measure the opening and the posts, draw it, and you approve the drawing before we cut any steel.

    • Square tube & pipe
    • Swing or slide
    • Hinges & latches welded on
    • Opener mounts on request
    Gate sagging? We can often re-hang and brace the one you have.

  2. Railings and handrails

    Stair rails, porch and deck railings, grab rails and handrails, measured to your steps and built to fit. We weld or bolt them in on site, and build to the heights and spacing your inspector or builder asks for.

    • Stairs, porches, decks
    • Weld-on or bolt-down
    • Primed, painted or bare

  3. Trailer repair and welding

    Cracked tongues, broken crossmembers, bent ramps, new gates, jack mounts, fender brackets and tie-down D-rings. Bring the trailer to the shop, or if it can't move, we bring the welder to it.

    • Tongues & crossmembers
    • Ramps & gates
    • Jack & fender mounts
    • D-rings
    Send a photo of the damage first: it saves you a trip.

  4. Custom brackets and one-off parts

    The bracket nobody sells. Bring a sketch, a broken part or just the measurements, and we cut, drill, bend and weld it: mounts, plates, gussets and brackets for trucks, shelves, machines and equipment.

    • Cut, drill, bend, weld
    • Plate & flat bar
    • From a sketch or a broken part

  5. Mobile welding

    The welding rig comes to you: farm and ranch repairs, fence and pipe corners, equipment in the field, and gates that won't come off their posts. Call or text with a photo and where it is, and we'll tell you when we can get there.

Isometric cutaway

The shop

One building, one yard, one truck with a welder in the bed. Two people do the measuring, the drawing, the welding and the installing, so the person you talk to on the phone is the person who builds it.

Isometric cutaway drawing of the shop: a steel rack of tube stock on the back wall, a gate leaning on the side wall, a welding table with a bracket on it, a trailer in for repair, and the mobile welding truck parked outside.01Gates02Railing stock03Trailer repair04Brackets & parts05Mobile rig

The kind of work

Drawn illustrations, printed like an old trade flyer. On the shop's real site these would be photos of its own finished jobs, run through the same print style.

General notes

  1. A photo of the job saves everyone a trip. Text it to the shop number.
  2. For gates and railings, measure the opening or the run if you can. We'll measure again before we build.
  3. Trailers: tell us the trailer's size and whether it can be towed.
Revision B · Stay Open Late

What changed

The old site had the phone number and hours painted into pictures and the services hidden in same-colour text, so Google couldn't read any of it. This one is built the way search engines and phones expect, so someone nearby searching for a welder can find the shop, see it's open and call in one tap.

Rev. B: rebuilt from the ground up.

  • Phone and hours are real text. Google, Maps and phones can read them, and the number calls with one tap.

  • Every service has its own heading, written the way people search: "custom gate fabrication", "trailer repair", "mobile welding".

  • Business details for search engines. Hidden structured data spells out the name, area, phone and hours, so the listing matches the site.

  • No giant photos to wait for. The drawings are made in code, so the page loads fast on a phone signal out on a job site.

  • Built for phones first, with a proper description so the search result says what the shop does before anyone clicks.
