What welding services does RickTheWelder offer?
Mobile onsite welding: Rick drives to your jobsite, yard, farm, dock or parking lot with a mobile welding setup, so the repair happens where the broken part is.
24/7 emergency welding: Breakdowns at night, on weekends and on holidays. A truck, trailer, machine or gate that can't wait for Monday.
Heavy structural welding: Structural and miscellaneous metals work for contractors, plants and commercial buildings.
Warehouse and fleet repair: Dock plates, racking-area damage, truck bodies, trailers and yard equipment for businesses that need the same welder every time.
Trailer repair: Frames, tongues, crossmembers, decks and ramps on utility, equipment, boat and commercial trailers.
Heavy equipment repair: Cracked buckets, booms, frames and attachments on excavators, loaders, backhoes, forklifts and tractors.
Aluminum welding: Aluminum trailer decks, boats, ramps, rails and custom parts.
Marine welding: Docks, boats, barges and marina work. Rick holds a TWIC card for port and secure-facility jobs (see Port & Marina Welding).
Gates, fences and railings: Broken hinges, sagging gates, cracked posts and railings, repaired in place.
Cast iron, wood stove and outdoor boiler door repair: Cracked cast iron, wood stove parts and outdoor wood boiler doors.

24/7 emergency welding in Delaware
Things break at night, on weekends and in the middle of a job. Rick takes emergency welding calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across New Castle County, Kent County and Eastern Maryland. Call (302) 532-6240, say where you are and what broke, and text a photo if you can. Rick will tell you when he can get there.
Commercial and fleet welding accounts
Regular accounts are a good fit for businesses that need the same welder every time: warehouses, trucking and delivery fleets, contractors, farms, marinas and plants. A regular account means one call gets a known, insured welder who already knows your equipment. Dock plates, truck bodies, trailers, yard equipment, racking-area damage and shutdown repairs are all normal work. Rick also holds a TWIC card, so ports, marinas and secure facilities are no problem.
