What homeowners call about

Five Reasons the Phone Rings.

The gate stopped closing right: Sagging, dragging, or it won't latch anymore. That is almost always a worn hinge or a cracked weld, and salt air near the coast eats the frame from the inside out. Rod cuts back to sound metal, re-welds it, and re-hangs the gate so it swings true again.
The handrail moves when you lean on it: A rail that wobbles has a cracked joint or a rusted anchor behind it. It gets re-welded and re-anchored in place — no replacing the whole run to fix the part that failed.
Somebody hit the mailbox: We will come out and repair the mailbox your neighbor just ran over. As long as it isn't smashed to pieces, the post gets straightened and the box re-mounted square. A new one runs about $400 before you pay for concrete and labor.
It's too awkward to haul anywhere: That is the whole reason he works portable. Anything difficult to transport to a shop gets welded where it sits — the truck comes to the driveway.
You want something made, not fixed: Ornamental is where Rod still makes things new: iron lettering, heavy garden plant hangers, and decorative pieces in aluminum, cast iron or steel. It is the work he enjoys most.
