  • Do you handle commercial welding projects?

    Yes, we serve Texas businesses, builders, and government facilities with structural steel installations, handrails, and facility maintenance projects ensuring safety compliance.
  • What's the difference between handrails and guardrails?

    Handrails are graspable rails designed to assist people walking up stairs or ramps, typically mounted at 34–38 inches. Guardrails are protective barriers installed along open edges like decks or landings to prevent falls, usually 42 inches or higher. At All Metal Welding, we install both types to meet code requirements and keep your family safe.
  • How long does a metal handrail installation take?

    Most residential handrail installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity and custom design. Simple porch or stair rails can often be completed in a single visit. At All Metal Welding, we fabricate in-shop and install efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.
  • Can aluminum boat welds hold up in freshwater?

    Yes, properly done aluminum welds are highly durable in freshwater environments and resist corrosion well. Using TIG welding ensures clean, strong joints that won't crack under stress. At All Metal Welding, our certified welders specialize in aluminum boat repair to keep you water-ready.
  • What affects the cost of custom metal fence installation?

    Cost depends on material choice (steel, aluminum, or wrought iron), fence height and length, design complexity, and finish options like powder coating. Site access and ground conditions also play a role. All Metal Welding provides transparent, fair pricing with no hidden fees or bait-and-switch tactics.
  • Do metal handrails need to be painted in Texas?

    While not required, painting or powder coating protects metal from Texas heat, humidity, and UV exposure, extending lifespan significantly. Stainless steel and aluminum naturally resist rust better than bare steel. At All Metal Welding, we offer durable finishes that stand up to North Texas weather year-round.
  • When should you repair a trailer frame instead of replacing it?

    If the frame has localized cracks, rust damage, or weld failures but the structure is otherwise sound, repair is often more cost-effective. Severe rust-through, major bends, or extensive corrosion may require replacement. All Metal Welding evaluates each trailer and recommends the safest, most economical solution backed by a 1-year warranty.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make with porch railings?

    Many homeowners skip railings altogether or use non-code-compliant designs, creating serious fall hazards, especially for elderly visitors. Railings should be sturdy, properly anchored, and meet local building codes. At All Metal Welding, we ensure every installation is safe, durable, and compliant.
  • Can you weld stainless steel and aluminum on-site?

    Yes, our mobile welding unit is fully equipped for TIG and MIG welding of specialty metals like stainless steel and aluminum. On-site welding saves you transport time and costs for larger items. All Metal Welding brings certified structural welding expertise directly to your location across the Texoma area.
  • How do you maintain wrought iron fencing in Texas heat?

    Inspect annually for rust spots, clean with mild soap and water, and touch up paint or coating as needed. Texas sun and humidity accelerate corrosion if protective finishes wear thin. All Metal Welding uses durable powder-coat and painted finishes designed to withstand harsh Texas weather.
  • What are the benefits of structural steel in new construction?

    Structural steel offers superior strength, durability, and design flexibility compared to wood or concrete alone. It resists warping, termites, and fire, making it ideal for long-term commercial and residential framing. All Metal Welding's certified structural welders ensure code-compliant, precise installations for safer, longer-lasting buildings.
  • Is mobile welding as strong as shop welding?

    Yes, when performed by certified welders using proper equipment and techniques, mobile welds match shop quality and strength. The key is controlling the environment and using the right process for the material. At All Metal Welding, our mobile unit is fully equipped to deliver the same precision and durability as in-shop work.
  • Does All Metal Welding offer warranties on repairs?

    Yes, we back all repair work with a full 1-year warranty, giving you confidence in the quality and durability of every weld. This covers workmanship and structural integrity. All Metal Welding stands behind our craftsmanship because we're committed to fair pricing and honest service.
