Mobile Welding in Madera, CA
Madera is the county seat of Madera County, in California's San Joaquin Valley, with the Fresno River, a tributary of the San Joaquin River, passing north of downtown. The name means wood in Spanish, a nod to the town's start in 1876 as a timber settlement at the end of a major log flume. The rig comes down the hill for repairs and fabrication at farms, yards, homes and jobsites across Madera.
Covering Madera and Gateway Drive
Down Highway 49 through Mariposa to its start at Highway 41 in Oakhurst, then down Highway 41 through Coarsegold to Highway 145, which runs west into Madera and meets Highway 99. Gateway Drive carries the business route through town.

From flume town to farm town
A sixty-mile wooden flume once carried rough-cut lumber down from Sierra Nevada sawmills to Madera, and the Madera Sugar Pine Company produced up to 50 million board feet a year until collapsing markets ended production in 1931. Irrigated farming took over in the 1930s, and the surrounding county is now among the leading producers of grapes, almonds, pistachios and figs. Farm machinery, trailers and yard equipment get repaired where they sit, because the rig carries engine-drive welding power, wire feeders, an oxy-acetylene torch and a plasma cutter.
For directions, a landmark helps: the historic Madera County Courthouse, the Madera Water Tower, Madera Municipal Airport, or your exit off Highway 99.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Madera?
Yes. The first boards came down the flume in 1877, Madera County was created from parts of Fresno County in 1893, and the city incorporated on March 27, 1907. Highway 145 brings the rig straight into town from Highway 41. Call or text and we'll set a time.
Can you repair vineyard and orchard equipment around Madera?
Yes. Grape gondola tongues, cracked nut sweeper frames, broken pistachio bin trailer axles and worn vineyard mower decks get welded right in the rows. Send a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Madera Acres?
Yes. Madera Acres borders the north side of the city, so a call from there is one more stop on the same visit.
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 Madera?
Rows, yard or driveway, text the job and the rig rolls west on Highway 145 into Madera.
