No surprise charges. No runaround. Albert's Specialty Welding handles gate repair, handrails and railings, welding and fabrication, trailer repair, and back-of-house restaurant equipment, plus specialty material work in aluminum, cast aluminum, stainless steel, and cast iron using MIG, TIG, and Stick — across Mobile, Theodore, Tillmans Corner, Saraland, Semmes, Grand Bay, Bayou La Batre, Citronelle, Dauphin Island, and the rest of Mobile County.
