Fry's Portable Welding & Fences

Fry's Portable Welding & Fences is based in Arlington, Texas, and handles welding along with fence and gate work for homes in the area. They focus on portable jobs where the welder comes to the site to handle steel and metal structures. Common needs in Arlington include fixing gates that have sagged or building frames that support composite panels in custom designs. The team works directly with homeowners on projects that require welding skills on location rather than in a fixed shop. Arlington weather and soil shifts put constant pressure on metal fences, so this crew stays ready for on-site repairs and builds that match what each property needs.

Ray handled a steel and composite fence project by supplying the steel and welding the frame together while improving on the original design idea. Mr Fry responded quickly to a call about an arch and got it sorted in minutes when other local places ignored the request. James Fry has built custom iron gated entryways with solid craftsmanship that stands out after many years. They do portable welding for fences and gates around Arlington, bringing the equipment to the property to cut, weld, and install without hauling pieces back to a shop. This approach works well for custom jobs and quick fixes that homeowners need done right away.

Customers keep coming back for the quality of the welding and the way the crew treats each job like it matters. Quick responses to calls and solid results on custom fence and gate work stand out in the feedback. Some notes mention reliable service over multiple years, though a couple point out issues with how the trucks get around town. Overall the work on steel frames and iron gates earns the marks for getting things done without extra hassle. DIRT Score 3.35 from 16 reviews on Finds.

“Ray did an AMAZING job on my steel & composite fence project ! I supplied the composite horizontal panels and Ray supplied the steel and welded the frame. He really treated this custom design like it was his own and even tween my design for the better ! I will definitely use Rays Welding again ! Thank you for such a great job !”

“Thank you so much for helping me with my arch. I called multiple businesses in the Arlington area and none answered. Mr Fry called me right back and had me in business in a matter of minutes. From one business owner to another I thank you so much for your customer service and willingness to help. I shall be back ❤️”

“I've had several very positive experiences with James Fry (Fry's Portable Welding & Fences) over the course of 8+ years. Initially James built and installed a custom iron gated entryway for my Mother's home. James's craftsmanship and attention to detail along with the confidence in the quality of work he provided gave me and my Mother peace of mind. James then built and installed a custom iron fence for my home which is simply a piece of art. The warranty he provides for his work is a bonus as well. I have complete confidence that these projects were comprehensive and complete. James is always professional, timely and I am extremely happy with how my projects with James have turned out.”

“wasn’t gonna leave a review but seen another person commented about their driving - they almost crashed into us after missing their exit on the freeway. smh”

“James was outstanding! Extremely patient while I had my child with me. Went above and beyond on fixing my 3 inch steel tubing table base! Will definitely be calling him again for future jobs!”
