Portable Welding across Mobile County, AL.
Portable welding is welding repair done where the metal already sits. Instead of pulling a gate off its hinges or hauling a cracked trailer across the county, you tell Rod where it is and he comes to it with the machines, the leads and the metal.
The truck runs MIG, TIG and Stick, so most of what would go into a shop gets handled in a yard or on a job site instead. On site welding is the whole reason people call — items that are difficult to transport to a shop are the ones the truck was built around. If a job genuinely needs the shop, Rod will say so.

Portable Welding — Questions, Answered.
Does Rod really come out for welding repairs?
Yes. Albert's Specialty Welding is Fully Portable — the truck, the machines and the metal come to you across Mobile, Theodore, Tillmans Corner, Saraland, and Irvington and the rest of Mobile County, AL. A gate on its hinges, a trailer in the driveway, equipment on a job site: Rod comes to the work instead of you hauling it in. Call (251) 753-7337 and tell him where it is.What kind of on site welding can be done off the truck?
Most of it. MIG, TIG and Stick all run off the truck, so gate repairs, railing repairs, trailer welding, cracked equipment and the fabrication that goes with a repair get done right where the metal sits. If a job genuinely has to come back to the shop, you will hear that up front rather than after he arrives.Why is it called portable welding?
Because Mobile is the name of the county around here, and because Fully Portable is what is printed on Rod's business card. Same trade, clearer word — either way, the truck comes to the work.What does it cost for a portable welding service to come out?
There is no published price and no minimum posted, because no two jobs are the same. Estimates are free, in person or from a photo, so you have the number before any arc is struck. Send a photo or call (251) 753-7337.How far does he travel, and what are the hours?
Mobile County, Alabama, and that is the whole service area. Hours are 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. This is not a 24-hour outfit and there is no emergency line — call during the week and Rod will get out as soon as the schedule allows.
