Why TIG Is the Slow, Right Choice

TIG (tungsten inert gas) is slower than MIG and stick, and that’s the point.

The slower process gives you control over heat, filler placement, and bead appearance.

We use TIG when the job calls for it: food-grade stainless, marine aluminum, thin-wall tubing, precision repair on visible surfaces, and small-diameter pipe work. The other welds get MIG or stick. The TIG ones get TIG.

Why Mobile TIG Works

TIG work is portable when the equipment is portable.

Our truck carries TIG with the right gas mix and rod selection for stainless, aluminum, and carbon steel. We set up where the work is, whether that’s a brewery floor, a fishing boat slip, or a fab shop bay.

Most repairs are completed within 24 hours, based on project complexity. Repairs start at $200.

More Questions, More Answers

TIG, short for tungsten inert gas, is a precision welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and a separate filler rod fed by hand. It produces clean, controllable beads with very low spatter, which makes it the right choice for thin material, exposed welds, and jobs where the look of the finished bead matters.

TIG is the standard for stainless food-contact surfaces, aluminum, and precision repair. For heavier production work, MIG or stick is usually faster. See our MIG welding and stick welding pages for the alternatives.

Stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, mild steel, copper, and a range of specialty alloys all TIG well. Stainless and aluminum are the two we run TIG on the most because they need the cleaner heat and the controllable bead.

TIG handles thin material that MIG would burn through and gives a controlled finish that stick welding can’t match. For mixed projects we’ll often TIG the visible side and MIG or stick the structural side.

Yes. Our truck carries a TIG-capable rig with the gas, the filler rods, and the tungsten setup we need to TIG weld at your site. Mobile TIG is what we run for on-site stainless food-contact welds, aluminum repairs on RVs and boats, and precision work on equipment that can’t move.

Mobile TIG needs more setup than mobile MIG or stick because of the gas and the cleanliness requirements, but it’s worth the time when the job calls for it.

Two reasons: TIG is slower, and TIG needs more skill. The welder feeds filler rod with one hand and runs the torch with the other, watching the puddle the whole time. A weld that takes ten minutes in MIG might take thirty in TIG.

The result is worth the cost when the job needs a clean weld, a food-safe finish, or a thin-material weld that won’t burn through. For structural work behind a panel, MIG is usually the better economic call.

Yes. TIG is built for thin material. We can TIG sheet metal down to gauges where MIG and stick would blow through. For precision parts, the controllable heat and the hand-fed filler give us tight beads that match the original geometry.

If you have a thin stainless prep table, an aluminum boat hull, an RV step, or a small fabricated bracket that needs a clean weld, TIG is the right call.

Welding for Washington since 2009. We’re a Tumwater-based mobile welder with a long stretch of work across Thurston County and surrounding areas.

Our team carries 57 years of combined team experience across mobile welding, structural welding, equipment repair, and fabrication.

Yes. Licensed, insured, and bonded in Washington. That’s the baseline for a working welder, and we carry all three.

For specifics on certifications, see our certifications FAQ. For everything else, ask when you call.

WABO certified. WABO is the Washington Association of Building Officials, and the certification covers structural welding for code-compliant work in Washington state. When inspectors show up on a structural job, that’s the credential they want to see.

We also weld to spec on non-structural work where customers or inspectors require it.

57 years of combined team experience. Welding, structural fabrication, equipment repair, mobile field work, and on-site problem solving all sit in the team’s background.

We’ve been welding for Washington since 2009, with project experience across heavy equipment, trailers, structural work, and the wider category of mobile welding repair across Thurston County and surrounding areas.

We’re based in Tumwater, Washington. We don’t operate a public walk-in shop, the truck is the shop. The mobile rig comes to your location, your job site, your yard, or wherever the equipment is, and we weld it there.

For a quote, photos and a description through our contact page or a phone call get the conversation started faster than a shop visit would.

Thurston County and surrounding areas, with priority service in Tumwater, Olympia, Lacey, and the broader South Sound. We also work into Lewis, Pierce, Grays Harbor, and Mason County for the right job.

Not sure if you’re in range? Give us a call. We sometimes travel further for larger jobs or recurring fleet work.

Yes. Examples of completed projects, recent repairs, and fabrication work live across our website and our Google Business Profile.

Our gallery page features specific jobs we’ve completed across the priority service areas. For day-to-day examples, check our Google reviews and the photos posted on our Google Business Profile.

Yes. Our Google Business Profile carries our running review history with five-star ratings and customer comments tied to specific projects.

Reviews come from customers across heavy equipment, trailers, structural, ag, and mobile welding repair. Specific testimonials matched to the relevant work also live on the corresponding service or repair pages on our site.

Job-site safety, customer-property safety, and code-compliant welding all factor into how we work. We assess the work area before striking an arc, set up screens for shielding gas and bystanders, and use proper PPE on every job.

For structural work, we follow WABO procedure and document the work for inspector sign-off. We work alongside customer safety programs on commercial sites and follow site-specific protocols.

Two things. We don’t just weld, we solve problems. Customers don’t bring us welds, they bring us broken equipment, busted trailers, sagging gates, cracked frames, and downtime. The weld is the means; getting them back to work is the point.

Second, we’re truly mobile. The truck, the rig, the gas, and the rods all come to you. Welding for Washington since 2009, WABO certified, 57 years of combined team experience, repairs starting at $200.

Mobile welding brings the welding services directly to your location, ensuring convenience and minimizing downtime for your operations.

Yes. We’re a mobile welder, and on-site repair is what we do. The truck, the generator, the welder, the gas, and the rods all come to you. No transporting equipment to a fixed shop.

We work across Thurston County and surrounding areas out of Tumwater. Most repairs are completed within 24 hours of the call (based on project complexity).

Most welding work fits mobile. Heavy equipment repair, trailer repair, structural welding, ag and farm equipment, restaurant and commercial equipment, dumpster and corral repair, and most everyday steel and aluminum jobs are mobile-friendly.

Jobs that don’t fit mobile well: high-precision shop work that needs a fixed jig, ASME code pressure piping, and very large fabrication runs. We tell you up front when a job belongs in a shop instead of on a job site.

No. Our truck carries its own generator, welder, gas, rods, and the consumables needed for the job. We don’t need to plug into your power, your water, or your shop space.

Shelter helps in heavy rain or wind. We can work outside in most weather, but a covered area or even just the shadow side of a building improves the work and the weld quality. If you have it, great. If you don’t, we work with what’s there.

Have the broken or damaged item accessible (not buried under other equipment, not blocked by parked vehicles), have a general idea of what you want fixed and any specific concerns, and have someone on-site who can answer questions and approve scope changes if needed.

If the work is on equipment that’s been running, let it cool. If you’ve already tried to fix it and the patch is still in place, leave it for us to inspect, we’d rather see what’s been done before deciding the next step.

Send photos and a quick description through our contact page or call us. From the photos and description, we can usually give you a fast quote and confirm whether the work fits mobile or needs a shop. Repairs starting at $200.

For larger or more complex jobs, we may want to come look in person before quoting. That site visit is usually included for serious projects.

Yes for most jobs. Photos and a description through our contact page or a quick phone call get you a no-cost estimate on standard work. For larger or more complex projects we may quote a small site visit charge that gets credited back when the work is awarded.

Online estimates from photos work well for repair work where the failure is visible. For fabrication and modifications, we sometimes need to see the equipment in person.

Repairs starting at $200. That covers the service call, the basic prep, and a straightforward repair on most jobs. Larger or more complex work runs higher and gets quoted up front before we head out.

We don’t publish a full price list because welding work varies too much job-to-job. The $200 minimum gives you a starting point so you can decide whether the job is worth a service call.

Most repairs are completed within 24 hours of the call (based on project complexity). For straightforward jobs like a cracked frame, a broken hinge, a single weld, we’re often in and out the same visit.

Larger structural jobs, multi-pass welds on heavy material, and projects that need fabrication of replacement pieces can run longer. We tell you up front what the work involves and how long it’ll take.

Photos of the broken or damaged item from a few angles, a brief description of what happened or what you need, the location where the work will happen, and any deadline or constraint.

Optional but helpful: equipment make and model, material type if you know it, dimensions, and any prior repair attempts. The more we know up front, the faster the quote and the more accurate the work goes.

Yes. Most emergency repairs are on-site within 24 hours. After-hours service available, surcharge may apply. Weekends and evenings get covered when the situation warrants it, with the surcharge quoted up front.

Compactors, balers, and restaurant kitchen equipment are the two specific emergency types we prioritize because of how fast they cost the business money. See our emergency mobile welding page for the full picture.
