Work list / November 2026

A price with a scope.

These typical starting prices help you plan. We inspect the material and agree on a written total before work starts.

Repairs & small fabrication

Gate hinge repair

One mild-steel gate hinge, with access from the ground. Typical mobile jobs run $180–$320.

Railing repair

A loose joint or short damaged section in an existing mild-steel railing. Typical work runs $220–$480 after inspection.

Trailer hitch work

Shop labor for an assessed, removable hitch component. Parts are separate. We review its intended use before accepting work; we do not change tow ratings.

Shop labor for a repairable cart, mower deck or small implement. Mobile work has the visit minimum below. Parts are separate.

From $95

Custom brackets

One simple shop-made mild-steel bracket, including stock, cutting and welding. Dimensions, holes and finish are agreed in the quote.

Mobile visit minimum: $180. Includes travel within 20 miles of Maple Crossing and the first hour of labor. Additional labor is $95 per hour; replacement metal and parts are quoted separately. The minimum applies once per visit.

Can it stay where it is?

What we weld on site

Accessible mild steel: gates, railings, brackets and some farm or garden equipment. Send the location, a whole-item photo and the damaged area before planning a visit.

What needs a shop look

Aluminum, stainless steel and cast iron need an assessment first; some pieces cannot be repaired. We do not work on fuel tanks, pressure vessels, vehicle frames or lifting equipment.

For load-bearing work we tell you when an engineer should look first. Photos alone cannot establish whether a repair is suitable.

Before the first visit

Is the photo estimate free?

Yes. The first photo estimate costs nothing. It is a starting range, subject to seeing the material and damage. We agree on any paid assessment before you book it.

What if the weather changes?

We agree on a new time or discuss bringing a removable part to the shop. A request does not reserve a mobile visit.

Let’s see the part.

Describe what it does, what changed and whether it can come to the shop.
