Farm, equipment and custom metal work for Smithfield and the Johnston County countryside.
Smithfield is the Johnston County seat, down the road from the Clayton shop, and the land around it is still farm country. Much of what needs welding out here is practical: equipment that cracked mid-season, trailers, gates and parts that cannot be bought anymore.
Bring the part to the shop during the week, or send a photo with a tape measure in it. The shop welds aluminum, steel and stainless, so the metal gets chosen to suit the job.
Farm equipment and trailers take a beating in the fields around Smithfield. Brackets snap, frames crack and hitches wear through, usually at the busiest time of year. Many of those parts are discontinued or slow to get. A proper weld repair, often with added reinforcement where the original failed, gets the machine back to work.
Outside work in this climate also means rust. For gates, racks and mounts that live outdoors around Smithfield, aluminum or stainless can outlast painted steel by years. Along the Neuse and on hunting land, the same goes for boat and trailer parts that see water. Talk through the options when you call.
Can you repair farm equipment from Smithfield?
Yes. Bring the part or the equipment to the Clayton shop, or send photos first so you know what to expect.
The part I need is discontinued. Can you make one?
Often, yes. Bring the old part, a drawing or a photo with measurements, and a replacement can be fabricated.
Is aluminum or stainless worth it for outdoor gates?
For pieces that live outside in this humidity, aluminum or stainless can save years of rust and repainting. You will get the cost difference before you decide.
The shop is in Clayton and works with customers across Johnston County and the Raleigh area. Pick another town, or see every area the shop serves.
Tell us what you need made or fixed — a custom part, a cracked casting, a handrail, a gate, a frame, or a run of brackets that all have to match. A photo with a tape measure in it answers most questions in one go. Quotes are free, and if a job is not worth doing you will be told that too.
