General On-Site Welding

Wind is the enemy of outdoor welding, because even a light breeze can strip the shielding gas from a MIG weld and leave it porous, which is why field welders rely on stick and self-shielded flux-core processes built for open air. Rhoades Welding provides general on-site welding in Johnstown, CO, bringing a fully equipped mobile truck to homes, farms, job sites, and businesses. We handle repairs, reinforcements, and small fabrication projects wherever the metal happens to be. Open 24/7, we respond to urgent breakdowns and scheduled work alike across Northern Colorado and southern Wyoming, day or night, weekday or weekend, whenever metal fails.

WHEN THE PART CANNOT COME TO THE SHOP, THE SHOP COMES TO THE PART.

Some welding jobs simply cannot be hauled away: a gate set in concrete, a railing bolted to a deck, a beam inside a building, or a machine broken down in a field. Removing and transporting those pieces costs time and money, and sometimes it is not possible at all. Mobile welding solves the problem right where it sits.


We arrive with welders, generator power, cutting tools, and common steel stock, so most jobs get finished in a single visit without trips back and forth.

GENERAL ON-SITE WELDING

MOBILE WELDING THAT MEETS JOHNSTOWN WHERE THE WORK IS.

From a broken hitch in a driveway to a cracked bracket on a commercial roof, on-site welding covers the everyday metal problems that do not fit neatly into one category. We cut, fit, and weld steel, stainless, and aluminum at your location, choosing the process that suits the conditions. Wind screens, fire safety equipment, and clean work habits come standard, and we leave your property as tidy as we found it once the repair is finished.

READY FOR FRONT RANGE WEATHER AND WIDE-OPEN DISTANCES.

Working outdoors around Johnstown means dealing with gusty winds, winter cold, and summer heat, along with long drives between rural properties. We plan for all of it. Wind-tolerant processes keep welds sound, preheat protects cold steel, and our truck carries what most jobs need. That preparation lets us reach farms east of town, subdivisions along the I-25 corridor, and job sites from Denver to Cheyenne, Wyoming, without wasted trips.

PASTURES, PARKING LOTS, AND BASEMENTS ARE ALL OUR SHOP.

Our owner has spent 6 years welding wherever the job required across Northern Colorado, from muddy corrals to finished basements and busy commercial lots. Every location brings its own challenges, like tight access, bad weather, or nearby combustibles, and experience means we plan for them before arriving. You get a welder who shows up prepared, works safely, and communicates clearly. Is there something on your property that needs welding today?

No Hauling Required

Heavy, fixed, or awkward items get repaired where they are. You avoid renting trailers, disassembling parts, or paying to transport equipment to a shop and back again several days later.

Faster Turnaround

Most on-site jobs are finished in one visit. Gates close, equipment runs, and projects move forward the same day instead of waiting in a busy shop queue for several days.

Help at Any Hour

With 24/7 availability, urgent problems like a broken gate holding livestock or a failed trailer hitch get attention quickly, even on nights, weekends, and holidays when most shops are closed.

Repairs in Proper Context

Welding a part in place lets us see how it is loaded and aligned. That makes the fix fit better and last longer than a repair done blind in a shop.

One Call for Many Jobs

A single visit can cover several small repairs around a home, farm, or business. You save time by bundling everything into one convenient appointment instead of scheduling several separate visits.

Common qUESTIONs

frequently asked
questions.

Mobile welding raises questions about power, weather, safety, and what can be fixed on location. These answers cover what Northern Colorado customers ask most before scheduling an on-site visit.

  • What kinds of jobs can be done with mobile welding?

    Most repairs and small fabrication projects can be handled on site, including gates, railings, trailers, hitches, equipment, and brackets. Large or precision fabrication may still be better built in a shop and installed afterward.

  • Do I need to provide electricity for on-site welding?

    No. Mobile welding trucks typically carry engine-driven welders that generate their own power. That allows welding in pastures, job sites, and remote areas where no electrical outlets or extension cords are available.

  • Can welding be done outdoors in wind or cold?

    Yes, with the right approach. Wind-tolerant stick or flux-core processes, wind screens, and preheating cold steel keep outdoor welds sound. Structural codes generally prohibit welding below 0°F ambient temperature, so extreme cold may delay work.

  • Is welding safe near my house or buildings?

    It is when proper precautions are taken. Combustibles are moved or shielded, fire extinguishers are staged, and the area is watched after welding ends to make sure no sparks are smoldering.

  • How should I prepare for a mobile welding visit?

    Clear access to the work area, move vehicles or items nearby, and share photos in advance. Knowing the problem ahead of time helps bring the right materials and finish the job in one trip.

  • Can several small repairs be done in one visit?

    Yes. Bundling repairs around a property is often the most efficient use of a service call. Make a list of everything that needs attention, and it can usually be handled during the same appointment.

  • Does Rhoades Welding travel outside Johnstown?

    Yes. Rhoades Welding is based in Johnstown, CO, and travels throughout Northern Colorado and into southern Wyoming, bringing mobile welding service to homes, farms, ranches, and businesses across the region.

  • What makes Rhoades Welding's mobile service dependable?

    Customers around Johnstown, CO, count on Rhoades Welding because the owner brings 6 years of field welding, arrives prepared, answers 24/7, and treats every property with care from setup through cleanup.

HOW WE WORK

FROM YOUR CALL TO A FINISHED FIELD REPAIR, HERE IS HOW.

STEP 01

WE LEARN THE PROBLEM

You tell us what needs welding, where it is, and how urgent it is. Photos help us identify the metal, plan the repair, and load the right materials before we leave for your location.

STEP 02

WE SCHEDULE THE VISIT

We set an arrival time that works for you, with priority given to emergencies. Around-the-clock availability means urgent problems do not wait until regular business hours or the next open appointment on a calendar.

STEP 03

WE ARRIVE PREPARED

Our mobile truck brings welders, generator power, cutting tools, and common stock. We assess access, weather, and nearby hazards, then set up wind screens and fire safety equipment before any welding or cutting begins on site.

STEP 04

WE MAKE THE REPAIR

The damaged area is cleaned and prepared, then welded with the process best suited to the metal and conditions. Reinforcement is added wherever the part needs extra strength to handle its normal daily load.

STEP 05

WE CHECK THE RESULT

We inspect the finished weld, test gates, hitches, or moving parts, and confirm everything works properly. Any concerns are fully addressed before we pack up the truck and head out to the next job.

STEP 06

WE CLEAN UP AND GO

Scrap, spatter, and debris are removed, and the area is checked for heat or sparks. You are left with a solid repair and a work area as clean as we found it, or cleaner.
