What comes across the bench
The kind of jobs that land here
Repair Welding
Cracked frames, snapped brackets, torn mounts, worn-through steel. Cut out the bad section, fit new stock, lay a bead that holds under load instead of one that just looks filled in.
Fabrication From Stock
Parts and assemblies built from plate, tube and angle when the replacement isn't sold anymore or never existed. Measurements off the old piece, or off the machine it has to bolt into.
Mechanical Repair
The wrench side of the shop. Diagnosis, teardown, and putting equipment back into service — often on the same job where the welding fixed the structure it all mounts to.
Trailers, Hitches & Hauling Gear
Tongues, crossmembers, gates, ramps and receivers. The parts that carry weight down the road and are worth being honest about before they let go.
How we work
One shop, the whole job
Plenty of jobs get bounced between a welder and a mechanic until nobody owns the outcome. Here the torch and the toolbox are in the same building, so a cracked mount and the failing part sitting on top of it get sorted in one visit. You talk to the person doing the work, you hear what it actually needs, and you find out up front if it's better repaired than replaced — or the other way around.
- Look at it before quoting it
- Fit and clean before welding
- Welds ground where they need to be, left proud where strength matters
- You get told what failed and why
Why people call this shop
You get an honest read
If a repair won't hold, you'll hear that instead of paying for it twice. Some parts are worth saving and some aren't.
Farm, fleet and homeowner alike
A bush hog deck, a work trailer, a piece of shop equipment, a mower deck — no job is too plain to bring in.
Local, not routed through a call center
The number on this page rings the shop in Aylett. Describe what broke and get a real answer.
Built for the load it carries
Repairs are made to go back into service under the same weight, heat and vibration that broke them the first time.
On the record
Before you call
Describe the material and thickness when you call — steel, and often more than that. It's a two-minute conversation that saves you a drive if the piece needs a different process.
Whenever possible, yes. Photos help for a rough idea, but hidden cracks and prior repairs change a job, so the accurate answer comes from seeing the part.
Ask when you call. Some jobs travel to the shop far better than the shop travels to them, and we'll tell you which one yours is.
If you can, clean off the heavy grease and dirt around the break and bring any broken-off pieces. If the part came off something, bring what it bolts to when it's practical.
Call (757) 503-8753 before heading over. Phone is the fastest way to catch the shop and confirm someone can look at your job that day.
Got something cracked, bent or dead in the yard?
Call the shop, tell us what it is and what it has to do again, and we'll tell you what it takes to get it back in service.
