Railing and handrail weld repair
Rework cracked joints, loosened sections, and failed welds on stairs, porches, and walkouts.
Chicago mobile welding
On-site welding for railings, gates, fence sections, and metal repairs that are easier to fix where they sit.
Chicago Metal Works & Fencing provides mobile welding across Chicago for repair work that does not make sense to tear out and haul away first. Most of the calls come from Chicago city jobs, including North Side neighborhoods like Albany Park and repair work down through the South Side, with nearby suburbs also in the mix. If a railing cracked, a gate weld let go, a fence section separated, or steel needs reinforcement on site, this is the kind of work we are talking about.

What we actually handle
Field welding for repair-first jobs, not just fabrication.
- Cracked welds and broken joints on metal railings
- Gate frame, hinge-side, latch-side, and fence-line weld repairs
- Steel reinforcement when a weak section needs more than a spot fix
- On-site welding when removing the piece is not practical
- Repair evaluation when replacement may make more sense
Fastest quote path
Send one full photo of the metalwork, then close-ups of the crack, failed weld, separated joint, or loose section.
Gate and fence line welding
Repair separated joints, weak panels, and damaged welded areas on gates and fence sections.
Steel reinforcement and repair fit-up
Some failures need plates, support, or reinforcement instead of a quick tack and go.
Repair-first evaluation
We look at whether the surrounding metal still makes sense to save before calling something repairable.

Welding that supports the repair
Mobile welding usually works best when the goal is to leave the full repair solid
A lot of field welding calls are really repair calls: cracked railings, separated joints, weak fence sections, and metal that needs to be reconnected and reinforced the right way.
Repair-stage steel work
Sometimes mobile welding is part of a bigger metal repair, not a stand-alone fix
When steel is weak, rusted, or separating, the right repair can include cutting out the bad area, reinforcing the section, and welding the repair back into service.
Common Calls
The mobile welding problems that usually lead to a call.
A weld cracked and the metalwork feels loose
Railings, gates, brackets, and fence sections often need field welding when a joint lets go but the rest still makes sense to save.
The repair is easier on site than in a shop
If removal creates more work or the metal is built into the property, mobile welding is often the practical move.
The failed area also needs reinforcement
Some repairs need more than a quick weld. The surrounding metal may need support or a stronger repair layout.
You need someone who looks at the whole repair
Good mobile welding starts with whether the metal, loading, and access situation make the repair worth doing.
What To Send
The details that make mobile welding quotes move faster.
One full photo of the whole metalwork
A full shot helps show the size, access, mounting points, and what the metal is attached to.
Close-up photos of the crack or failed weld
The close-up matters because it shows whether the repair is a broken joint, rust failure, bent metal, or a separated section.
Location, access, and rough size
The ZIP code, where the repair sits, and a rough size help figure out whether this is a good mobile welding job.
