What’s the difference between equipment welding and equipment repair?

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.
