Aluminum behaves very differently from steel under heat, and it takes a welder with the right process and experience to get a clean, strong joint without warping or burning through thin material. Our network's welders use TIG welding for aluminum, which gives precise control for boat hulls, trailers, brackets, tanks and equipment that many general shops turn away.
With Lake Michigan and the region's rivers and harbors nearby, our network sees a steady stream of aluminum boat and trailer repairs alongside general aluminum fabrication for homeowners and businesses across Chicagoland.
Our network is frequently called for cracked aluminum boat hulls and transoms, damaged trailer frames and ramps, broken brackets and mounts, leaking or cracked tanks, and general aluminum fabrication for railings, gates and equipment. Waukegan's harbor and the region's rivers keep marine aluminum work a regular part of our network's schedule.
Aluminum is unforgiving of the wrong process — a rushed or improper weld can warp the material or fail under stress. Boat owners, trailer owners, and businesses with aluminum equipment seek out a welder who understands the metal specifically, rather than a general shop that welds aluminum only occasionally.
Yes. Our network regularly repairs aluminum boat hulls, transoms and trailers at marinas, driveways and storage yards throughout Chicagoland.
Aluminum conducts heat quickly and can warp or burn through if welded incorrectly. TIG welding gives the control needed for clean, strong aluminum joints.
Yes, cracked frames, broken ramps and damaged brackets on aluminum trailers are a regular part of our network's work.
