Questions

Welding FAQ

What does mobile welding cost in Kitchener?

Brent's Welding lists a $450 minimum for 1 welder and 1 truck for up to 3 hours. Extra time is $150 an hour. Travel is $1.00 per kilometre from its Union Street shop.

Will a welder take a small repair?

Check the profile for small jobs. Send photos of the break and the whole part, then ask about the minimum charge.

Do I need a CWB certified fabricator?

For welded structures built to CSA S16, the responsible fabricator must be CWB certified in Division 1 or 2. Ask which certification applies to your job.

Is the listed wage the price I pay?

No. The Job Bank line is an employee wage range for the Kitchener, Waterloo and Barrie region. It is separate from a shop charge.

Good to know

  • The posted charges are for mobile work. Ask for a separate quote for work brought into the shop.
  • For Waterloo or a township job, give the exact address and ask how travel is charged.
