When metal parts crack, loosen, or wear down, replacing the whole piece is not always necessary. Welding services in Olympia, WA, from Brady’s Welding give homeowners, contractors, and small business owners a practical way to repair gates, railings, trailer parts, brackets, and other metal components that are still worth saving.
Our family-owned shop in Lakewood has served the South Sound for nearly 50 years and holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. Most repairs can be brought to the shop, but we also offer mobile welding by appointment, so our welders can come to your location and complete the weld on-site. At Brady's Welding, small jobs are always welcome.

Aluminum needs a controlled approach. Too much heat can distort the part or weaken the area next to the weld. We weld aluminum brackets, supports, frames, and other lighter components where fit, heat control, and filler selection matter.
Steel repair work often involves cracked brackets, broken tabs, worn edges, split welds, and damaged mounts. When the surrounding metal retains sufficient strength, welding can restore the part to service without having to replace the entire part.
Bronze and brass repairs call for the right filler metal and steady heat control. These types of welding projects often involve fittings, trim pieces, decorative parts, or specialty components where keeping the original piece makes more sense than buying a new one.
Magnesium requires more care than routine steelwork. Prep, process choice, and part condition matter. If you are unsure which metal you have, bring it in, and our welders can review it before scheduling the service.
TIG welding is used for parts that need tighter control and a cleaner finish. It works well on thinner materials, smaller parts, and repairs where appearance matters as much as strength.
Repair welding starts with the failure point. Before any welding begins, we take a closer look at the crack, the joint, and the surrounding material. That tells us whether the part is worth repairing and whether the area needs added support before it goes back into use.
Some repairs are tied to equipment, fixed structures, or larger parts that are not practical to move. Mobile welding lets you get professional welding services on-site when removing the item would require too much labor, create delays, or increase costs. We bring the welding equipment to you and complete the repair where the part is already located.
Sending clear photos of the damaged part, the surrounding space, and whether the part is mounted, loaded, or hard to reach makes scheduling mobile welding services much easier. Additionally, sharing a brief description of the part's function helps us better understand what type of repair you need.
The work area needs to be large enough to create a safe setup and provide clear welding access. The part should be stable, and any gate codes, restricted access, or site rules should be shared before the appointment. Good site prep keeps the visit moving.
Some repairs are best taken care of at the shop. Shop access gives us better control over cleanup, positioning, and multi-step welding work. If the part can be removed, we will let you know whether bringing it in is likely to save time and produce a cleaner result.
Our welding services cover a range of common metals, including:
Aluminum
Steel
Mild steel
Bronze
Brass
Magnesium
Since each metal reacts differently during welding, it's important to choose the right repair method for each material rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach to every job.
