Proudly serving Kyle
Kyle is a growing suburb east of Dripping Springs, with new subdivisions, older ranch tracts, and a mix of brick homes and modern builds. The clay soil here shifts with rain and drought, so gates and fences need posts set deep and welded to handle movement. The weather swings from hot and dry to sudden storms, and railings and gates take a beating from sun and moisture. With new construction going up fast, the work is split between fresh installs and repairs on older homes that have settled.
Our crew heads east on Highway 290 with a truck loaded for the job: steel, pipe, a welding machine, and hand tools. We work on site, parking in the driveway or on the street, and we keep the work area clean from start to finish. Grindings and scrap go back with us. Because we are based in Dripping Springs, we can get to Kyle quickly and handle both small repairs and full gate installations without the customer having to wait for a shop to schedule a build.
Walker Welding works across Dripping Springs, TX and the surrounding Hill Country, so a crew is never far from Kyle. Call (512) 497-1674 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.
Local demand
What Kyle homeowners call us for
Gate Installation
New subdivisions in Kyle need driveway gates that match the home's style. We weld steel frames, install hinges, and set posts in concrete to handle the shifting clay.
Railing Repair
Step rails and porch rails on older homes rust and loosen over time. We weld new pickets, replace rotted posts, and reattach rails to the house framing.
Mobile Welding
Small businesses and homeowners call us for on-site repairs. We weld broken equipment, repair metal shelving, and fix gate frames without moving the piece.
Custom Fabrication
Kyle homeowners want custom fire pits, planters, and outdoor furniture. We build from your design, welding steel and finishing it to match your patio.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Kyle
Welding a Step Rail
We measure the rise, cut the tubing, and weld the rail to brackets bolted into the concrete steps. The top rail is smooth and the pickets are evenly spaced.
Repairing a Metal Gate
We cut out the broken section, weld in a new piece of matching steel, and grind the joint smooth. The gate is repainted to match the existing finish.

Commercial and residential properties along the highway need heavy-duty gates and fencing. We weld pipe gates that stand up to road dust and fast traffic.

Before work starts

The City of Kyle requires a fence permit for any new fence over six feet tall. Check with the city's building department before you install a gate or fence.
HOA Approval
If you live in a subdivision with a homeowners association, you may need written approval for the gate style and color. Get that before we start welding.

“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.”
