The owner
Meet Richard
Before starting 3D Custom Welding, Richard worked as a jeweler. His experience with contractors inspired him to build a business around the service he wanted as a customer. Outside welding, he's held a pilot's license and flown hot air balloons for over 40 years.
Can it be repaired?
A loose railing, cracked weld or gate that won't close may be repairable. Richard checks the metal before suggesting a replacement. If part of it needs rebuilding, he'll explain why.

“Richard was able to come soon after we called and was quick and efficient. Super nice guy and did a fabulous job. Would definitely recommend him. Now our elderly parents have a rail to steady themselves on the steps. Thank you so much.”
“Richard and his team were super knowledgeable, professional, and stayed in the cold for 6 hours fixing my fence and mailbox! They both look perfect! 10/10!”
“Richard and team was absolutely amazing! Very responsive, timely and did exactly what he said he would do. Was on time and his workmanship was superb! Will definitely utilize his services again!”
“When I needed 2 steps replaced on an outside staircase I cold-called a few welders. I sent Richard some pictures of the job and the things he said about what was needed made me confident that he knew what he was talking about. He quoted me a reasonable price, kept in touch about when he could get the job done, and did great work. Plus he's a friendly, up-beat guy and his worker, Adam, was a total pro. I'm 100% happy I hired him.”
“When I called Richard, he actually answered his phone and immediately wanted to help. I sent him photos, he set up a time for the next day, and had the job done quickly — exceeded my expectations. Price was spot on, not overcharging like others I had called. If you need some mobile welding done, don't hesitate to call Richard. I highly recommend.”
“Mr. Richard and Adam are excellent. They have both gone above and beyond for our deck replacement. Richard has taken my idea for a 16x16 deck with stairs and turned it into a backyard oasis! The previous deck had been poorly installed with no anchoring. I have a medical condition that affects my balance — Richard took the time to learn about myself and my family so we could build a deck that would work for us not just now but in the future.”
“These folks are the real deal! Very service and results oriented. They see the project through a precise and comprehensive process. Value plus results equates to a satisfied customer. Plus they stand behind their work always.”
