If you searched "mobile welder near me" from somewhere in the north metro, odds are you are sitting in Blaine, Ham Lake, Andover, Forest Lake, or Coon Rapids. Portable Precision Welding is based in East Bethel and runs out to all of those cities on a regular basis. The truck is fully self-contained, which means we handle on-site welding repair, aluminum work, structural welding, and mobile line boring without your equipment ever leaving the yard. Browse our full mobile welding services for the complete list.
Why mobile welding makes sense in the north metro
The north metro is a mix of jobsites, farms, contractor yards, equipment rental fleets, and homeowners with a trailer or attachment that just cracked. Hauling a skid steer or a 24-foot aluminum trailer to a shop in the cities means traffic on 65 or 35W, loader time, fuel, and a machine that is not making money. A mobile welder skips all of that. We covered the math in detail in our guide on when to call a mobile welder instead of hauling equipment.
Cities we serve north of the metro
Blaine, MN
Blaine has heavy commercial activity around the 35W and 65 corridors plus the National Sports Center and a steady stream of contractors. We handle on-site welding repair for landscapers, builders, and equipment fleets across Blaine — from cracked skid steer buckets at a residential site to aluminum trailer frame repair in a contractor yard. If your machine is broken on a job in Blaine, you do not need to trailer it anywhere. See the City of Blaine for permitting info if your project needs it.
Ham Lake, MN
Ham Lake is full of acreage properties, hobby farms, and small businesses that run their own equipment. That means a lot of trailer hitches, dump bodies, snowplow frames, and farm implements that need on-site welding rather than a trip into town. We are a short drive up 65 from East Bethel, which makes Ham Lake one of our most common mobile welding service areas. Visit the City of Ham Lake site for general city services.
Andover, MN
Andover homeowners and contractors call us for the same mix: cracked trailer frames, ATV and UTV hauler repairs, gate and railing welding, and equipment work on contractor yards near Bunker Lake Boulevard. Mobile welding in Andover means we show up, weld it where it sits, and you skip the haul. Browse our gallery of recent welding and fabrication projects to see the kind of work we deliver across the area.
Forest Lake, MN
Forest Lake sits on the east edge of our regular service area and brings a heavy mix of dock hardware, boat trailers, snowmobile trailers, and aluminum work tied to the lake. We do mobile aluminum welding for trailers and boats in Forest Lake regularly. For background on what makes aluminum its own animal, see our explainer on mobile aluminum welding.
Coon Rapids, MN
Coon Rapids is south of us along Highway 47 and the river corridor. Contractors, fleet shops, and homeowners in Coon Rapids call when a piece of equipment cracks on a job or a structural repair needs to happen at the property. Anything we can stage safely we will handle on-site. The City of Coon Rapids site has general info if your project needs city involvement.

How a mobile welding call works in the north metro
1. Send details and photos
The fastest way to get a number is to send us photos and a short description of the repair. Good photos save a site visit.
2. Schedule the on-site visit
We coordinate a window that works for the jobsite or property. The truck arrives self-contained — power, gas, tools, filler. No prep on your end beyond clear access.
3. Repair, inspect, and back to work
Most single-issue repairs are handled the same visit. Larger jobs with multiple welds or combined line boring and welding are scoped up front so there are no surprises.
Helpful resources for property and equipment owners
If you want to read up before hiring any welder, these are solid neutral resources. The American Welding Society has plain-language guides on weld types and qualifications. OSHA's hot work guidance covers fire-watch and safety standards that any reputable welder should follow on-site. MnDOT is the right starting point for road-side or right-of-way questions. For weather windows on outdoor welding jobs, the National Weather Service Twin Cities forecast is what we check.
