Rust doesn't stop at the surface — once it penetrates structural steel, a patch won't hold. We cut out the rusted section completely and weld in fresh steel, restoring full structural integrity and extending the life of the component.
Rust repair is one of the most common mobile welding jobs we do — particularly for trailers, gates, vehicle chassis, and older structural steel in coastal areas.

The Right Way to Repair Rust
We cut back to sound metal, grind the weld prep, weld in new steel with the correct process and filler, and grind flush. The repaired area is ready for primer and paint. Sticking a plate over rust — or filling with putty — doesn't fix the problem. We fix it properly.
