Why Wilmer Portable Welding Is Different.
Up in Wilmer the properties are bigger and the equipment stays where it works. Around rural west Mobile County, hauling a cracked implement or a bent gate into town is not practical, so the repair goes out to the property instead. Rod welds it in the field and fabricates the replacement part when nothing off the shelf will do.
Out in Wilmer, hauling a cracked trailer or a piece of farm equipment into town isn't practical. Rod brings the portable rig to the property and fixes it in place. Aluminum, cast aluminum, stainless and cast iron all get welded on-site, whether that is near farmland or out in 36587.
The Wilmer service footprint is ZIP 36587. That is a routine run for a service-bed welding truck, and it is why the item never has to move. Rod welds it on the driveway, in the shop bay, or out in the field.

Portable Welding in Wilmer — FAQs
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 Wilmer, Semmes, Citronelle, Grand Bay 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.Do you service all of Wilmer, AL?

Why Wilmer 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 Wilmer, and how Rod works around it.
Salt air & corrosion
92%
Wilmer's air averages about 92% peak daily humidity with summer highs near 94.1°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.
