Common Questions
When should I repair my deck instead of replacing it entirely in Mankato?
If the deck’s structure is still sound but you have a few rotted boards, loose railings, or minor sagging, repair is often the smarter choice. H&S Welding can reinforce weak spots, replace damaged planks, and tighten connections—saving you hundreds compared to a full tear-out. If the deck is severely rotted, shifting significantly, or has failing supports, replacement may be necessary. We’ll inspect your deck and give an honest recommendation.
Can you custom fabricate metal gates or railings for my property near Minnesota State University?
Absolutely. H&S Welding creates custom metal gates, railings, and fences to match your property’s style. Whether you need a simple steel gate for a side yard or an ornate iron railing for a deck overlooking Mankato’s river valley, we can design and weld it to your specs. We also repair existing metalwork, saving you from buying new.
How do you handle common fence gate problems for homes in the Highland or West Mankato neighborhoods?
Fence gates in these areas often sag from heavy use or rust at the hinges. I provide mobile pickup and repair: you leave the gate or the broken section, and I weld it back to true alignment, reinforce weak joints, and replace hardware if needed. For chain-link gates that have pulled apart, I can re-weld the frame and re-stretch the mesh. Many times a simple repair costs a fraction of a new gate.
