Mobile Welding in Lake Wildwood, CA
Lake Wildwood is a lake community in Nevada County with a Penn Valley postal address, at an elevation of 1,529 feet. Property developers laid it out in the 1960s, about half a square mile of its 3.5 square miles is water, and at the 2020 census it counted 5,158 people. The rig runs the foothills from Sonora for repairs and fabrication at homes, garages and shops around Lake Wildwood.
Reaching Lake Wildwood on Highway 20
From Grass Valley, Highway 20 heads west on the Eric W. Rood Memorial Expressway, built in the mid-1980s as a mostly two-lane freeway across rugged terrain. Its west end is an at-grade intersection with Penn Valley Drive and the Rough and Ready Highway, the turn for Penn Valley.

A 1960s lake community in Penn Valley
Lake Wildwood first appeared as a census-designated place in 2000, and its local news runs in The Wildwood Independent, published twice a month. Penn Valley, its postal town, may be named for Madame Penn, the original owner of the town site. Boat trailers, utility trailers and lawn equipment get welded where they're parked, since the rig brings engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
To help us find you, name a nearby point: the Highway 20 intersection at Penn Valley Drive, the Rough and Ready Highway, or your street off the lake.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Lake Wildwood?
Yes. The large Lake Wildwood master-planned community is its own census-designated place, though its mail carries a Penn Valley address. Highway 20 brings the rig west from Grass Valley. Call or text and we'll set a time.
My boat trailer tongue cracked at home in Lake Wildwood. Can the rig fix it there?
Yes. A cracked boat trailer tongue, a broken bunk bracket or a rusted-through crossmember gets welded where the trailer is parked. Text a photo and the address and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Grass Valley?
Yes. Highway 20 runs east from the Penn Valley turn to Grass Valley, where the expressway ends and the highway joins Highway 49, so the two share a trip.
What hours do you work?
Regular hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. After-hours and emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, Monday - Saturday and are quoted up front. Call or text us to schedule.
Something broken in Lake Wildwood?
Lakeside garage or shop, send a photo, and the rig heads west on Highway 20.
