Welding a boat trailer tongue
We cut out the cracked section, fit a new steel tongue, weld it with full-penetration beads, and coat the repair with marine-grade primer. The trailer is ready to launch the same day.

Local service
Proudly serving Tarpon Springs
Tarpon Springs sits right on the Gulf, with a historic sponge dock district, waterfront homes on the bayous, and neighborhoods spread out along the Anclote River. The salt air is constant, and the humidity accelerates rust on anything metal. Many homes here have boat trailers, aluminum docks, and marine railings that see daily exposure to saltwater spray. The housing stock ranges from 1920s bungalows in the historic district to newer concrete-block homes on the water, and the ground is sandy and low-lying, so any welded structure has to resist corrosion from the ground up.
Our crew drives down from Holiday with the welder, aluminum wire, stainless steel rods, and grinders loaded in the truck. We work at the customer's property, whether that's a driveway, a backyard, or a boat slip. We set up on a tarp to protect the ground, weld the repair or fabrication on site, and grind the beads clean. Salt air means we prime every bare metal surface before we leave. Being only 15 minutes away means we know the streets, the traffic patterns, and the best way to get to the waterfront without getting stuck.

Local demand
What Tarpon Springs homeowners call us for
Aluminum welding for boats
Boat trailers, dock ladders, and aluminum railings corrode fast in the salt air. We TIG-weld aluminum to restore strength and seal the weld against moisture, extending the life of the part.
Marine railing repair
Waterfront homes have railings that take constant spray and sun. We weld stainless steel or aluminum replacements that match the original profile and hold up to the Gulf environment.
Structural welding
Carports, patio covers, and metal roof supports need welds that handle wind loads and the weight of Florida sun. We weld beams and brackets in place, matching the existing structure's strength.
Custom fabrication
Homeowners here want custom gates, boat davits, and dock accessories that fit their specific waterfront setup. We build them on site from steel or aluminum, welded to the exact dimensions needed.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Tarpon Springs
Fabricating a dock ladder
We measure the dock height, cut aluminum tubing to length, weld the rungs and brackets, and attach the ladder to the dock. The result is a non-corrosive ladder that stays solid in the water.
Repairing a waterfront railing
We remove the rusted section, weld a new stainless steel or aluminum rail in its place, and grind the joints smooth. The railing looks continuous and will resist the salt air for years.

Where we work
Across Tarpon Springs
The Sponge Docks area
Commercial and residential properties near the historic docks need aluminum and stainless steel welding for railings, gates, and boat lifts. The salt spray is constant, so we use marine-grade materials.
Waterfront bayous
Homes on the bayous have boat trailers, dock ladders, and aluminum gangways. We weld repairs and fabrications right at the water's edge, working around tides and keeping the area clean.
Town centre properties
The older homes and businesses on Tarpon Avenue and side streets have wrought-iron railings and gates. We match the historic profiles and weld repairs that blend with the original ironwork.

Permits & local rules in Tarpon Springs
Waterfront structure permits
Work on docks, boat lifts, and railings attached to the water may need a permit from Pinellas County or the city. The homeowner should check with the county's environmental management office before we start.

Structural welding on carports, patio covers, and load-bearing beams usually requires a permit from the city or county. We can provide the weld details, but the customer applies for the permit.

“When visiting my parents and working on a small project that needed a small weld in it, we called them and went straight over and they immediately fixed the piece we needed welded! EVEN BETTER, the owner used to live 30 minutes from us here in Southern Ohio! We visited for a bit and the service was top notch!! Glad we found them - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”

“Kevin does great work. He replaced my torn up RV roof and turned it into a party deck. He also made a gorgeous aluminum balcony.”

“Brought Kevin a boat trailer repair that had me stumped. I wasn't sure it could even be done but he looked it over, got to work, and was finished in like 2 seconds. The weld was clean, the repair was solid, and he made something genuinely tricky look completely routine. That's the kind of skill you can't fake. Metal Warriors is the real deal.”

“Highly recommend Metal Warriors Welding. I contacted Kevin with an emergency during the afternoon. I needed some work done on my motorcycle so I can ride the next day. He was extremely busy with other jobs and still made the time to take care of me that same night. That kind of service you won't receive anywhere else. He was friendly, helpful, reliable, and funny.”
