Mobile Welding in Newark, DE

Newark is about 23 miles, or 35 to 40 minutes, north of our Townsend shop, up Route 896 or Route 301. That's too far to expect you to haul a broken machine to us, so for Newark and the rest of northern New Castle County, the welder comes to you.

Less Downtime for Your Business

When a forklift or a truck is down, the clock is running. Rick is a certified welder, and a manufacturer chose him as its on-site repair specialist, so getting a business back up and running on site is everyday work for us. Send a photo of the damage and we'll show up with what it takes.

Students, Renters and Homeowners Too

Newark's not all industry. If you've got a broken railing, a gate that won't latch, or a trailer hitch that needs to be welded, we're happy to take on the small jobs too. Smaller parts can also be dropped off at the Townsend shop.
