Brady's Welding provides TIG welding services in Lakewood, WA for stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, and specialty alloy parts that need a clean, precise repair. That includes cracked brackets, broken stainless parts, aluminum components, and smaller fabrication jobs where fit and finish both matter.
Family-owned since 1975, we work from our shop at 9007 Veterans Dr SW and offer mobile welding services for parts that are installed, hard to remove, or too large to bring in. We serve Lakewood, Tacoma, Olympia, JBLM, and nearby South Sound communities. Call or text (253) 475-4608 to get started.
TIG welding is a good fit for parts that need a clean weld, tighter heat control, or a neater finish than other methods may give. It is often used on thinner material, visible joints, stainless components, aluminum parts, and repair work where appearance matters along with strength.
We use TIG for a wide range of repair and light fabrication work, including:
Stainless steel parts such as food-service pieces, brackets, shop equipment, and light structural items
Aluminum castings, sheet, plate, and smaller fabricated parts
Mild steel parts where a cleaner finish is needed
Specialty alloys reviewed case by case
If TIG is not the right method for the job, we will say so and point you toward a better repair option.
Most TIG work falls into a few practical categories.
We repair cracked brackets, broken supports, snapped guards, cart legs, table frames, shelf brackets, and other metal parts that still have sound material around the damaged area. Smaller repair work is welcome.
TIG is commonly used for aluminum and stainless parts that need a clean repair with good control at the joint. That includes kitchen equipment, shop fixtures, outdoor metal parts, and other pieces where appearance and fit still matter after the weld is finished.
Some parts need more than a simple weld. A bracket may need extra support. A mount may need to be moved. A damaged part may need reinforcement before it goes back into service. We also handle light fabrication and one-off modification work tied to those repairs.
Many TIG jobs are better handled in the shop, where the part can be set up on a bench and checked more closely before and after the weld. Mobile TIG service is available when the part is already installed, mounted to a trailer or vehicle, or too large to move without adding time and cost to the job.
If you call or text photos first, we can tell you which setup makes more sense for your repair.
Every TIG repair runs through four steps:
Send photos or call (253) 475-4608. Include a short note on what the part is, what failed, and whether it is currently installed.
Review and quote. Brady's looks at the alloy, the joint, and the damage, then decides between shop repair and mobile service.
Prep and weld. The joint is cleaned, the current and shielding gas are set, and the weld runs at the right travel speed and heat input.
Inspect. Each weld is checked for alignment, fusion, and load fit before the part leaves the shop or the mobile job wraps.
We match filler to the job and use pure argon or argon-helium mixes to protect the weld pool and improve results.
After cooling, we clean, dress sharp edges if requested, and check alignment before hand-off. For certain alloys, post-weld heat steps can further stabilize the part.
You’ll know the cost and a realistic timeline with your estimate. If moving the item isn’t practical, we can complete the work on site around Lakewood, Tacoma, and the South Sound. Call or text (253) 475-4608 to get on the schedule.
Brady's Welding has been the local TIG choice in Lakewood for almost five decades. The reasons customers stay come down to experience, range of service, and a willingness to take the kind of small jobs other welding shops turn away.
Brady’s Welding has served Lakewood and the South Sound since 1975. The shop handles stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, and specialty alloy repairs for homeowners, farms, small businesses, and light industrial customers. After decades of repair work, most jobs can be assessed quickly once the part is brought in, helping reduce turnaround time.
Brady’s maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has reviews from customers throughout Lakewood, Tacoma, and nearby South Sound communities. Many customers return over the years for additional repairs, including gates, trailer hitches, patio furniture, and custom metal repairs.
Brady’s Welding is family-owned and operates directly from its shop at 9007 Veterans Dr SW in Lakewood. Customers speak directly with the welder handling the repair, which keeps estimates straightforward and focused on the actual work being done.
Single-bracket repairs, one-off stainless welds, and small aluminum fixes are accepted on the same terms as larger jobs. Many welding shops in the region focus on production fabrication or commercial contracts and turn down residential repairs. Brady's takes them.
Brady's runs TIG repairs from the Lakewood shop and through a mobile rig that travels across the South Sound. Customers who can drop a part off get the controlled bench environment of the shop. Customers with installed equipment, mounted parts, or items too large to move get on-site service from the same welder.
