Local service
Proudly serving Dripping Springs
Dripping Springs sits on the edge of the Hill Country, where limestone ridges and oak-dotted acreage meet newer subdivisions. The housing stock here runs from older ranch-style homes on several acres to modern custom builds on smaller lots, many with long driveways, gated entrances, and decks or patios that overlook the rocky terrain. Summer heat and occasional flash floods put real demands on metalwork: gates sag, railings rust, and fence posts shift in the thin soil over limestone. The spread-out nature of the community means most jobs are a short drive from our shop, and we often work on properties where the nearest neighbour is a quarter-mile away.
Our crew loads up each morning with the tools and materials for the day's job, whether that is a gate repair on a ranch off Highway 290 or a custom railing for a pool deck in a newer subdivision. We work on site, setting up our welding gear and grinders where we need them, and we take care to keep the work area clean and safe. Because we are based in Dripping Springs, we know the local roads, the way the limestone shifts under a post hole digger, and how to get a welding rig into a tight backyard. We clear up metal scraps and debris before we leave, and we leave the property as we found it, minus the broken gate or the rusted railing.

What Dripping Springs homeowners call us for
Gate Repair and Replacement
Driveway gates on rural properties take a beating from sun and wind. We replace worn hinges, sagging frames, and rusted latches, often on the original posts.
Custom Metal Fabrication
Homeowners here want railings, gates, and firepit rings that match the Hill Country look. We weld custom pieces in steel or aluminum to fit the house and the land.
Fence and Gate Installation
New subdivisions and old ranches both need perimeter fencing. We install metal pipe fences, wrought-iron driveway gates, and welded-wire panels that hold up to the weather.
Railing and Step Rail Installation
Decks and pool areas on sloping lots require sturdy handrails. We weld custom step rails and deck railings that meet code and stand up to the Texas sun.

“Jerry replaced/repaired our driveway access 14' electric-opened farm gate. He responded to my initial inquiry right away, and did the job within a day which helped us out a lot. From start to finish, communication was great, both text and speaking over the phone. He sourced the new gate and all other materials for the job. He showed up on time, did the work well, actually improved the design of our gate, and cleaned up when he was done. Price was reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend him.”

“I highly recommend hiring Walker welding for all welding services. My front gate broke off the hinges completely. I called Jerry and the day of him and his wife came by to check out the gate. He quickly ordered new hinges and as soon as they came in, he was back at my house within 48 hours installing the hinges perfectly and leveling my gate better than before! Jerry did a great job and the cost was very reasonable.”

“Walker Welding did a fantastic job on the pool fence, step rail and gate for our unusual pila pool. The work was fast, super well done, and fairly priced. What nice people too. Highly recommend.”

“We called him as a result of a referral from a friend. Jerry came out to look at what we needed to install a small privacy gate at our house. He provided us some suggestions as to the proper location and gave us an honest time frame as to when he would be able to complete the project. He was spot on and his fee was extremely reasonable. His work is excellent.”

“Truly a class act. Not only the best, most trustworthy welder in town, but also one of the best contractors I've ever come across. We had an unusual request for Jerry to install a metal ramp on our steep driveway. Jerry came by to take a look at the driveway and was incredibly proactive in suggesting the most effective and safest option. Every part of the process was absolutely flawless.”
