A trailer with a cracked tongue, a sheared hitch, or a rusted-through frame section isn't safe to tow — which is exactly the problem, since most shops need it towed in. This is the kind of job Build & Fortify started with: tow hitches and trailer repairs that other handymen couldn't take on.
Chad brings the welder to the trailer instead. Boat trailers, utility trailers, landscape trailers, car haulers, and enclosed trailers — repaired in your driveway, yard, or job site, in a single visit.
Most trailer frames and hitches are repairable. A cracked tongue or a rusted mount point can usually be cut out and welded clean with a reinforcing gusset added so it doesn't fail there again. Full frame replacement only makes sense when rust has spread through multiple structural members, or the trailer's age and condition mean it's not worth investing further. Chad will give you an honest read before quoting either way.
"Chad did an excellent job. He repaired my fence lines, added privacy lattice, welded and repaired a gazebo frame, reinforced sections of the fence, and repaired a plumbing leak."
Most jobs run $200-$500: hitch or coupler re-welds and receiver reinforcement on the lower end, full tongue or frame-section repair on the higher end. You'll get an exact quote before work starts.
Most cracked frames are repairable — Chad cuts out the fatigued or rusted section and welds in new steel, reinforced so it's stronger than the original joint. Replacement only makes sense if rust has spread through multiple structural members.
Yes — welded-on receiver hitches or reinforcement of an existing mount point. If a bolt-on hitch kit fits your vehicle, that's often the faster and cheaper option, and Chad will tell you honestly which route makes more sense.
