Before you call

Mobile welding: the short version

A welder with a truck rig who fixes or builds on your site.

When you need it

  • Gates, railings and fences you can't take down
  • Porch and fire escape repairs
  • Equipment or trucks that can't move
  • Repairs on a job site or plant floor

What to send the shop

  • Photos of the break and the whole piece
  • The address and how the truck gets close
  • What the metal is, if you know
  • When the site is open and safe to work

Typical lead time

Ask each welder when the truck can come. Send photos first.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    What is your call-out minimum, and does travel count?

  2. Q2

    Are materials extra?

  3. Q3

    Do you need power on site, or bring your own?

Questions

Mobile welding FAQ

Do porch repairs need a permit in Chicago?

Structural parts do: columns, beams, stringers and joists, with plans by an Illinois licensed architect or engineer.

Will a welder take a small job?

Some will. One downtown Chicago studio takes small welding jobs and repairs.

Good to know

  • Clear the area and have the piece reachable before the truck arrives.
  • Few Chicago welders post rates. Send photos to compare quotes.
