Aluminum — Edmonds, WA

How much does aluminum welding cost in Edmonds?+
Aluminum welding in Edmonds, WA typically costs $200–$800 depending on the job. Premium waterfront community with arts-oriented homeowners who value craftsmanship and are willing to pay for quality service. 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?+

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).
