FAQ

Aluminum — Oak Brook, IL

How much does aluminum welding cost in Oak Brook?+
Aluminum welding in Oak Brook, IL typically costs $200–$800 depending on the job. Ultra-premium market with median home values exceeding $800K requires elevated pricing to match homeowner service expectations. Aluminum requires more skill than steel welding (TIG process), so hourly rates run $85–$175/hr. Boat hull repairs and custom fabrication are on the higher end.
What is the difference between TIG and MIG aluminum welding?+
TIG (GTAW) welding uses a tungsten electrode and produces cleaner, more precise welds — ideal for thin aluminum, boats, and visible work. MIG (GMAW) is faster and better for thicker material and structural joints. Most aluminum boat and trailer repairs use TIG for quality.
Can you weld a cracked aluminum boat hull?+
Yes. Cracked aluminum boat hulls are one of the most common aluminum welding jobs. The welder will grind out the crack, prep the aluminum, and TIG weld it. Properly welded repairs are as strong as the original hull. Cost typically runs $200–$600 depending on crack length and location.
What factors affect the cost of aluminum welding?+
Key cost factors: type of aluminum alloy, thickness of the material, length and location of the weld, whether TIG or MIG is required, accessibility of the work area, and whether the welder needs to travel to your location (mobile service fee).
