Steel Repair & Welding
Rusted-through corners, sills and mullions are cut out and welded back to true with matching-gauge steel — a structural fix that vinyl inserts and epoxy fillers can't match.
Frame welded back to true
What's Included
The scope of work
- Cutting out rusted or structurally failed steel sections
- Welding in matching-gauge replacement steel
- Reinforcing weakened corners, sills and mullions
- Straightening bent or warped frame members
- Grinding and finishing welds flush with the original profile
- Rust-inhibitive treatment of repaired steel before priming
The Benefits
Why this matters
- A structural repair, not a cosmetic patch — vinyl fillers and epoxy don't restore strength
- Saves a frame that would otherwise be condemned and replaced
- Matches the original steel gauge and profile so the repair is invisible once painted
- Far less expensive and disruptive than a full frame replacement
Common Problems
Signs you might need this
Rust streaks or bubbling paint
Surface rust caught early is a quick fix; left alone it eats into the steel.
Soft or flaking metal at a corner or sill
A sign the steel has rusted through and needs to be cut out and rewelded.
Frame that's visibly bent or out of square
Often fixable by straightening and reinforcing rather than replacing.
How It Works
The process
1
Assess
Identify every point of structural steel failure, not just what's visible.
2
Cut
Remove rusted or compromised steel back to sound metal.
3
Weld
Fabricate and weld in matching-gauge steel to restore strength.
4
Finish
Grind smooth and treat for rust before the frame moves to priming and paint.
