Mobile welding in Cottonwood, AL
Mobile welding repair in Cottonwood, AL from a Dothan-based rig with published rates and a flat trip fee. Call (334) 686-0777 or send the form below.
Cottonwood is the far south of Houston County, where the peanut ground blends into cattle and hay country and the drive to any welding shop is long enough that broken equipment tends to stay broken until somebody comes to it. That is the service gap Dothan Welding Repair fills: the rig reaches Cottonwood in twenty minutes down SR-53, and the work happens at the barn, the pen, or the field edge. Diggers and balers with cracked frames, hay spears bent past use, corral panels and head gates that have been wired together one season too many.
Cattle infrastructure is the quiet half of the workload down here. Catch pens rack out of square, gate hinges pull through rusted posts, and creep feeders crack at every joint a cow can reach. We rebuild them with heavier wall pipe and gussets where the load actually lands, priced by the job off the published table so an operation knows the number before the truck rolls.
The same published pricing covers the row-crop side: implement crack repair, trailer frame work, and bucket and blade edges. During harvest the phone is answered after dark, because a digger down at 7pm in Cottonwood cannot wait for a Dothan shop to open at 8.
Why gates keep sagging (it is the post)
Post-and-hinge failures on cattle gates are almost never the hinge’s fault: the post rusted from the inside at the ground line. When we hang a new gate down here we sleeve or replace the post and cap it, which is the difference between a gate that sags in two years and one that swings straight for twenty.

Straight answers for Cottonwood operations
Do you come as far as the Florida line?
Yes. Cottonwood, Malvern, and the state-line farms are inside the standard service area with a $50 to $75 trip fee off the published band. Multiple repairs in one visit share the fee, which is how most operations down here book us.
Can you rebuild a catch pen or head gate on site?
Yes, that is core Cottonwood work. Racked panels get squared and gusseted, worn hinge points get cut out and replaced with heavier wall pipe, and head gate frames get trued so the mechanism latches like it should. Typical pen repairs run $200 to $900; full rebuilds get a written quote first.
What about baler and hay equipment repairs?
Cracked baler frames, bent hay spears, and torn loader mounts are all field-repairable. Spears get re-tipped or replaced and re-socketed, frames get beveled, welded, and gusseted. Most hay equipment calls land between $150 and $500.
Do you charge extra for after-hours calls during harvest?
After-hours emergency work runs 1.5 times the published hourly rate with the same flat trip fee, stated before we roll. It is printed on the cost page like everything else, so there is no surprise math at the tailgate.
