I am very happy with the end result. I wanted a railing that maintained the integrity of our home, with simple clean lines. I very much appreciated their good communication every step of the way.

Melissa called within minutes of my online inquiry. A couple of hours later the repairs I needed were complete. The guys at the shop were great and the work excellent.

They made a railing for my front porch. Super stable and even the neighbor commented on how good it looked! Very responsive to any communication from me.

They keep in contact with me. They told me how much it was and they tried to find the right railing for what I wanted and the color too.

Weld 8 quickly came out to look at our issue and gave us an estimate for a mobile repair and full replacement. We opted for the mobile repair to see how it holds up and may do a full replacement in the future. They were responsive, showed up on time for both estimate and the work and had the repair done in under an hour. The repair is super solid!
