Welding & Fabrication in New Castle, Delaware
New Castle is about 18 miles, or roughly 30 minutes, north of our Townsend shop by Route 1 and Route 13. The New Castle mailing area covers a lot more than the old town on the river: warehouses, truck yards and industrial parks along Route 13, Route 9 and Hares Corner, the businesses around Wilmington Airport, and plenty of homes. We work in all of it with our mobile welding rig.

Warehouses, the Airport Area and Old New Castle
Warehouses and truck yards on Route 13, Route 9 and Hares Corner
Forklifts hit things. Dock plates crack, guards and bollards get bent, liftgates break and trailer doors get torn up. We do on-site repairs so you don't have to send equipment out or shut down a dock door for days. Many jobs can be scheduled around your shifts.
Businesses around Wilmington Airport (ILG)
The airport area is full of hangars, contractors, fleet yards and service businesses. We fabricate and repair brackets, frames, racks, carts, gates and guards in steel, stainless and aluminum, from a drawing or just an idea.
See Custom Fabrication.
Historic wrought-iron railings and gates in Old New Castle
Old New Castle has some of the oldest homes in Delaware, and plenty of them have iron railings, fences and gates that have stood for generations. We repair broken pickets, rusted posts and cracked scrolls carefully, keeping as much of the original iron as we can.
For warehouse jobs, send a photo of the damage and one of the area around it (dock, door or truck) so Rick can tell what equipment he'll need on site.
A lot of what we do in New Castle is repeat work for the same yards and warehouses: the forklift that keeps clipping the same door frame, the trailer fleet that needs a few repairs every month. If you manage a facility, ask about setting up a regular visit so small problems get fixed before they turn into downtime. Homeowners are just as welcome. We fix gates, railings, trailers and outdoor furniture all over the New Castle area.
Small job? Drop it off at the shop in Townsend.
Brackets, hitches, small trailers, stove parts, lawn equipment and anything that fits in a pickup are quickest to fix at our Townsend shop. Call or text (302) 532-6240 first so Rick is there. The mobile rig is for bigger or immovable jobs: trailers, equipment, railings and gates that can't come to us.
