One of the calls we remember most started with a simple problem. A family needed a gate fixed before a busy weekend, and they didn’t want a patch job that would fail the next season. As a welder team, we like those calls, the ones where a small repair matters a lot to daily life. That’s the kind of work we do at Jerry Lee's Onsite Welding, and it’s the kind of work that keeps us connected to this community.
When we work in Shepherd, MT, we see a place where people value things that last. Fences, shop parts, rails, trailer repairs, and custom pieces all need to hold up through real use, not just look good on day one. We’ve heard it again and again from local property owners, they want honest work, clear answers, and solid metal work that fits the job.
What we help with around here
Metal Railing
Metal railing jobs usually start with safety, but they end up being about peace of mind too. We once talked with a homeowner who was worried about a shaky set of steps and didn’t want kids or older family members grabbing onto something loose. We built a metal railing that felt strong in the hand and matched the home without making it look overly fancy. Simple, sturdy, and built for everyday use.
Welding Service
welding service calls can come in at all kinds of hours and for all kinds of reasons. A ranch-style gate may sag, a trailer tongue may crack, or a support bracket may break right when it’s needed most. We’ve seen how one small break can throw off a whole week. That’s why our welding service work is focused on fixing the real problem and getting things back in motion.
Metal Fabrication
metal fabrication is where problem solving really shows up. Sometimes a customer can’t find the exact part they need, so the answer isn’t ordering more, it’s making the right piece from scratch. We’ve heard stories from shop owners who spent too long trying to force the wrong fit. With metal fabrication, we can create parts, frames, and custom pieces that make the whole setup work better.
Aluminum Welding
aluminum welding takes a careful hand, and it’s often needed on trailers, lightweight parts, and equipment that can’t carry extra bulk. We remember hearing from a customer who had a cracked aluminum section and thought the whole piece needed replacing. It didn’t. With proper aluminum welding, we were able to repair the area and help them keep using what they already had.
Stainless Welding
stainless welding comes up when people need clean lines, corrosion resistance, and a finish that stays sharp over time. We’ve had customers ask about items used around moisture, repeated cleaning, or outdoor exposure where regular steel wasn’t the best fit. Stainless welding can be a smart choice in those cases, and we like helping people figure out what material makes sense before the work even starts.
Laser Cutting
laser cutting is one of those services people get excited about once they see what it can do. Clean edges, repeatable shapes, and less guesswork make a big difference on custom projects. We’ve talked with folks who wanted signs, panels, brackets, or decorative pieces but didn’t want rough cuts and uneven results. With laser cutting, the finished piece tends to feel more thought-out from the start.
Metal Welding
metal welding covers a wide range of real-world fixes, and that’s part of why we enjoy this work. One day it might be a repair on a work table, and the next it could be a broken hinge or a support beam that needs attention. metal welding is often the thing that keeps equipment going instead of sending it to the scrap pile too soon.

Why people call our welder team
A lot of customers want the same basic thing, they want the job done right without a bunch of confusing talk. We agree with that. If a repair can be made safely and make sense for the budget, we’ll say so. If a part really needs to be replaced, we’ll say that too.
We think local work goes better when people feel comfortable asking questions. We’ve had plenty of conversations that start with, “This might be a dumb question,” and it never is. A good welder should be able to explain what failed, what can be fixed, and what kind of result you can expect in plain language.
Another reason people choose us is simple, we respect their time. Folks here have jobs to get done, animals to feed, errands to run, and family stuff going on. When a gate, rail, trailer, or bracket breaks, it isn’t just an inconvenience. It can throw off the whole day, sometimes longer.

Most of the time, it starts with you telling us what’s going on. Maybe you’ve got a cracked frame, a loose rail, or a piece of equipment that just doesn’t feel safe anymore. We’ll ask a few simple questions so we can get a clear picture and not waste your time.

What should I expect when hiring a welder for a repair or custom job?
Usually, we start by learning what the item is, what went wrong, and what kind of result you want. From there, we talk through repair versus replacement, material choices, and timing so you have a clear idea before work begins.
How much does welding work usually cost in this area?
