Stick welding, also known as Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), is a versatile and widely used welding process that employs a consumable electrode coated in flux to join metals.
The process involves striking an electric arc between the electrode and the base metal, generating intense heat that melts the electrode and the metal surfaces together.
The flux coating produces a shielding gas and slag, which protect the weld from contamination and oxidation during the cooling process.
I had Arc Tech do some work on my son’s 2002 F250. The short version is that a mounting plate that was welded to front axel broke and needed replacement. I’m not going to spend my time here describing the repair other than to say that the repairs were more than I could have asked for and he found some other issues and fixed those for me as well! What I want to talk about here is the type of person the owner Lance is. By all appearances he is a capable craftsman and a very responsive business owner. He was quick in responding and coming out to look at the job. His communication through the process was exemplary. The pace of getting the work done was so fast that I wasn’t ready for it to be done as fast as it was. His bids were accurate without adjustments and his work ethic beyond reproach. More telling than his business persona is who he is as a person. This can best be summed up by describing the events following our picking up the truck after the work was done. My son headed home and called about 15 minutes after leaving telling me that his girlfriend following behind saw sparks from under the truck. He started to pull over and as he did the front driver wheel bearing let go and the wheel almost came off. When I heard about this I was still standing with Lance. As soon as he found out what happened and though he had no reason to help, Lance immediately said let’s go and jumped into his truck. Before we left he called a friend with a flatbed and had him come along to help recover the truck. I want to be clear here that the welcoming had absolutely nothing to do with the repairs that had been done by Arc Tech. He went out with us to where my son‘s truck was, helped us, evaluate it, and stayed until we found a tow truck to get it home. As he had to back at it at 4 am, he wished us luck and finally headed back. This had nothing to do with his work, but solely reflects what kind of person he is. While I 100% can recommend his work, it isn’t the excellent work he does that should be the standout in this review - it is the character of the man behind the company. While it’s hard sometimes to find quality workmanship, it is much rarer to find quality businessmen. It’s even rarer to find good people. In Arc Tech you will find all three. I rarely can, without any reservation, recommend a company - but in this case I can unhesitatingly recommend the work, the company and the man. You can’t do any better.
Lance Denison is an absolutely amazing person and he does exceptional work. He went over and above to help me. The work he did was top notch. I highly recommend this company.
Was very accommodating. Work was stellar and better than the factory. Would definitely call them again for any welding job I need done
Amazing custom work from Lance at Arc Tech. He custom built this fireplace trim and it looks & fits perfectly. Couldn't be any better. Can't recommend highly enough! I'm so excited to fire it up and enjoy some warmth this winter.
Arc tech got me out of a bind. Was having a hard time finding a mobile welder in the area that did automotive work. They were super responsive, flexible, and had time the next day to come out, and get the job done right! 10/10 would recommend if you need mobile welding work done in the area.
Lance did a great job helping me extract a fuel injector from our tractor. I worked on it myself off and on for 3 weeks. It took him about an hour to make it a very easy extraction. Thanks Lance!
If you need any welding or fab work done I would not hesitate at all to call this company again , showed up on time three times very precise on his work did a fantastic job for me don’t waste your time with other guys this is the “dude”.
The hanger bracket for the axle on our RV broke off, taking with it the section of I beam it was attached to. Lance came on short notice (we were on vacation) and did an excellent job of repairing it. It's much stronger now than original. I couldn't be more pleased with his work or professionalism.
Had horse stall dividers that needed fixed, Lance did an amazing job, fixed the welds and reinforced it. It better and stronger now then when they were brand new. Also fixed my ladder on my other trailer. Extremely happy with his attention to detail, very fair, and professional. Thanks Lance!
