Mobile Welding in Elkton & Cecil County, MD

Elkton is just over the state line, about 23 miles, or 35 to 40 minutes, west of our Townsend shop. Our shop on Dexter Corner Road is only a few miles from the Maryland line, so Eastern Maryland is a regular part of our service area, and Elkton and the rest of Cecil County get the same mobile welding service as Delaware.

Water, Farms and the I-95 Corridor

Cecil County gives us a good mix of work:

  • On the water: the Elk River, the head of the Chesapeake Bay and the C&D Canal mean boats, docks, rails and boat trailers. See Marine Welding.

  • Farms: tractors, implements, feeders and farm gates out in the county. See Heavy Equipment Repair.

  • Along I-95 and Route 40: warehouses, trucking and contractors with forklifts, truck bodies and trailers that need repairs on site. See Trailer Repair and Mobile Welding.

  • Homes and businesses: gates, fences, handrails and railings. See Gates, Fences & Railings.

Maryland Work From Our Gallery

Rick's Maryland work includes fabricating hundreds of aluminum window grates for a military installation in Maryland. It was a big, repetitive aluminum job where every piece had to match. That same attention to detail goes into a single bracket or a one-off rail. See more in our gallery.

Shop or On Site

Most Elkton jobs we do on site with the mobile rig. If you're heading toward Delaware anyway, smaller parts like brackets, stoves, rails and small trailers can be dropped off at the Townsend shop. Just call ahead first. Rick is a certified welder, and a manufacturer chose him as its on-site repair specialist.

If your cast iron wood stove has cracked, see our Cast Iron Repair page. We fix stoves, doors and outdoor wood boilers.
