Learn moreSalt air, working metal, and the properties out here.
Irvington runs close enough to the bay and Gulf that salt in the air still shortens the life of outdoor metal — gates, handrails, railings and trailers all corrode sooner than they would up-country. A lot of the work here is choosing the right material and process for the exposure: aluminum and stainless where salt is the enemy, solid MIG and TIG welds where a repair has to last.
Around Hwy 90 west, Two Mile Road (our shop), farmland between Theodore and Grand Bay, the Irvington property mix varies — older homes and working shops with metal that has been repaired before sit next to newer builds needing gate repair and railings. The material matters: aluminum and cast aluminum, stainless steel and cast iron each weld differently, and Rod picks MIG, TIG or Stick to fit the piece. He looks at the actual part before quoting rather than guessing from a photo.
the Highway 90 corridor, the Two Mile Road area, and rural Irvington farmland are all inside the Irvington run, along with the subdivisions and working corridors between them. Albert's Specialty Welding covers every Irvington zip code — 36544 — including each of these areas.
The jobs that come out of Irvington are the everyday ones — a gate off its hinge, a handrail pulling out of the step, a trailer frame that has had enough. Rod takes them in the order they come and tells you straight when something is past saving.
Irvington averages about 90.6% peak daily humidity with July highs near 92.6°F. Warm and wet is the combination that moves rust along inside a joint, where it is out of sight until the weld gives.

What Mobile County Says About Rod
“Took him all of 20 minutes to weld up my exhaust and then told me it didn't take enough work to charge me! 10/10 weld 11/10 service. GREAT MAN.”

“When we call, he shows up. He has fixed our equipment many times over the years. His work is outstanding and efficiently priced. Call him for all your repair needs.”
Why Irvington metalwork fails — and what holds up.
The right metal and the right weld depend on where the job lives. Here is what the local climate and housing data say about welding in Irvington, and how Rod works around it.
Salt air & corrosion
90.6%
Irvington's air averages about 90.6% peak daily humidity with summer highs near 92.6°F. Warm, humid, salt-laden Gulf air is the environment corrosion research flags as severe — enough chloride and moisture to rust bare or coated steel gates, handrails, and railings within a few years. That's why Rod repairs coastal metalwork here in aluminum (which forms its own protective oxide layer) and stainless, and coats steel properly when strength has to win.
