Mobile Welding in Novato, CA
Novato is a city in Marin County, in the North Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area, on San Pablo Bay, where Novato Creek flows in just north of Bel Marin Keys. Rancho Novato was named after a local Miwok leader, and Novato was incorporated as a city in 1960. The rig crosses the valley from the foothills for repairs and fabrication at ranches, homes, shops and jobsites across Novato.
Covering Novato on Highway 37
Interstate 80 to Vallejo, then Highway 37 west along the northern shore of San Pablo Bay, over the Petaluma River and into Novato, where it begins at US 101. US 101 also runs through Novato on its way north from San Rafael.

Creek, marsh and Old Town
The original town was located around Novato Creek at what is now South Novato Boulevard, and a railroad built in 1879 connected Novato to Sonoma County and San Rafael. Eastern Novato is marshland and diked fields and pastures, and several hayfields still contribute to the local economy. Horse trailers, hay wagons and ranch hitches get repaired right 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: Old Town Novato, Stafford Lake County Park, Olompali State Historic Park, or Miwok Park.
Questions we hear
Do you come out to Novato?
Yes. In 1839 the Mexican government granted the 8,876-acre Rancho Novato to Fernando Feliz, and the first post office at Novato opened in 1856. Highway 37 brings the rig in along the bay. Call or text and we'll set a time.
What ranch and trailer welding can you do in Novato?
A bent pasture drag frame, a cracked horse trailer tack door hinge, a split hay wagon tongue and a torn tractor canopy mount get welded right on the ranch. Text a photo and the location and we'll plan the trip.
Do you also cover Sears Point?
Yes. Highway 37 runs from Novato over the Petaluma River into Sonoma County, where it meets Highway 121 near Sears Point.
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.
