Mobile Welding in North East, Maryland
North East is at the top of the Chesapeake Bay, about 29 miles, or roughly 45 minutes, west of our Townsend shop by Route 896 and Route 40. Eastern Maryland is part of our regular service area, so North East, Elk Neck and the rest of western Cecil County get the same mobile welding as Delaware customers.

Small job? Drop it off at the shop in Townsend.
North East is about 29 miles, or roughly 45 minutes, from our shop, so on-site trips here are for larger jobs: equipment that can't move, railings and gates, and bigger trailer repairs. For brackets, hitches, small parts and anything that fits in a pickup, bring it to the shop in Townsend. It's usually done faster and costs less. Call or text (302) 532-6240 first so Rick is there.
Marinas, Distribution Centers and Farms
Marinas on the North East River and Elk Neck
With marinas along the North East River and boats all over Elk Neck, there's steady marine work: boat trailers, aluminum rails and ladders, boat lift frames and dock hardware. Salt and fresh water both rust trailers from the inside out, so we see a lot of crossmembers, tongues and bunk brackets. Rick has done large aluminum jobs in Maryland, including hundreds of matching window grates for a military installation.
See Marine Welding.
Distribution centers off I-95 near Principio and Perryville
The warehouses and distribution centers along I-95 run forklifts and dock equipment around the clock. We repair dock plates, guards, bollards, forklift attachments and truck bodies on site so your doors stay open.
Farms along Route 40 and Route 272
Out in the county, we fix tractors' loader buckets, implements, hitches, feeders and farm gates right where they sit.
See Mobile Welding.
Heading to the boat ramp in spring? Run through our free trailer safety checklist first, then send photos of anything that looks cracked for a free estimate.
The town of North East itself has a busy little Main Street, and the businesses there need the same things businesses everywhere do: railings, sign brackets, gates and the occasional broken trailer or truck part. Campers and boaters headed to Elk Neck State Park also call us about hitches and trailers that failed on the way. If you're stuck, send photos and Rick will tell you what can be done.
