Aluminum Welding Specialists

At BWI, we specialize in high-quality aluminum welding. Our experienced TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welders are skilled at both fabricating new aluminum products and repairing existing ones.

We have extensive experience working with marine equipment, including boats, canoes, pontoons, radar arches, docks, and boat lifts. We also regularly repair trucking and heavy equipment components such as dump boxes, trailer frames, tailgates, and fuel tanks.

In addition, we fabricate durable industrial aluminum products including guardrails, stair sections, access platforms, and catwalk sections. We’re also happy to handle smaller household repairs for lawn and garden equipment.

Whether you need a major fabrication project or a quick repair, BWI can handle all your aluminum welding needs.
