MTS Welding & Fabrication: Local Fence Contractors Serving Gilberts, IL 60136
213 Sola Dr, Gilberts, IL 60136
Common Questions
My gate latch keeps breaking off the metal post. Can you fix that on-site?
Absolutely. We perform mobile welding for exactly these kinds of repairs. A broken latch is often caused by fatigue in the weld or the metal itself. We can come to your home in Gilberts, re-weld the latch securely, and reinforce the area to prevent future failure. We work with steel, aluminum, and wrought iron gates, and we usually complete the job in one visit.
What's the difference between shop welding and mobile welding for a railing repair?
Shop welding is best when the railing can be removed and brought to us – it allows for a controlled environment and often a more precise finish. Mobile welding is ideal for large or permanently installed railings, like a deck railing that's bolted into concrete. We bring our welder and tools right to your property in Gilberts, saving you the labor of removal. For most railing repairs, mobile welding is the quicker option.
Do you weld stainless steel for outdoor railings, and will it rust?
Yes, we weld stainless steel regularly. For outdoor railings, we use 304 or 316 stainless, which is highly corrosion-resistant. After welding, we passivate the welds to restore the protective layer, so the railing stays rust-free for years. We've done many railing projects for homes near the Fox River and in the Gilberts area where moisture is a concern.
