Boat and Marine Welding in Cookeville, TN

A boat trailer frame cracked at the ramp, an aluminum hull took a rock strike, a dock rail rusted through, or a boat lift cradle bent. On East Tennessee lakes a marine metal failure usually happens on the worst possible day, with the boat in the water or the trailer half loaded. In Cookeville, that shows up most often as boat owners on fort loudoun, norris, douglas, tellico, watts bar, cherokee, and chickamauga, marina operators, dock builders, and anyone with an aluminum hull, trailer, or lift that needs attention. Cookeville is the working capital of the Upper Cumberland. Farm equipment, trailers, fence and gate work, and structural repair on small manufacturing plants all keep our truck busy on every plateau run. For a typical Cookeville call we run the same process: We meet you at the ramp, the marina, the storage lot, or your driveway. Aluminum hull and rail work gets TIG for a clean, controlled weld. Trailer frames and bunk brackets get stick or MIG plus reinforcement. Every outdoor weld gets treated for water exposure before we leave. Quoted before we strike an arc, no after-the-fact surprises.
