Blackie's Welding Works Inc

Blackie's Welding Works Inc works as a welder and metal fabricator right in Corpus Christi, Texas. They handle metal repairs and welding projects that come up in the coastal area where salt air and heavy use take a toll on gates, equipment, and vehicles. The crew steps up for jobs that tire shops and general repair places often pass on because they lack the tools or know-how for tricky extractions and fits. Local customers turn to them when standard options fall short on precision work involving angle iron or brackets.

They take on welding tasks such as removing lug nuts that have seized in place, something JJ handled with precision after fifteen other spots turned the customer away. Small metal repairs get done even on off days, like Charlie showing up Sunday morning and completing the work by afternoon to a high standard. Guy has fixed gate wheel brackets by adapting them on the spot in minutes, saving the homeowner over a hundred dollars on what would have been a bigger job. For basic needs like adding several welds to angle iron pieces, they accept the work but customers have noted delays in callbacks when the timeline stretches past the initial promise.

Customers keep coming back because the work gets finished fast and holds up well without costing a fortune. Reviews mention solid results on gate fixes and metal patches along with helpful attitudes from the team. Some jobs move smoother than others when it comes to staying in touch after dropping off parts, which pulls the overall mark down a bit from perfect. Still the shop earns respect for tackling the tough welding jobs around Corpus Christi that need a steady hand and quick thinking. DIRT Score 3.78 from 17 reviews on Finds.

“After visiting over 15 tire shops for a lug nut removal, several shops passed it up but one person recommended Blackie’s Welding — and they were right. JJ had the job done in minutes with expert precision, and the owner, Guy, showed incredible customer service — friendly, helpful, and welcoming. If you need quality welding work and top-tier service, this is the place to go.”

“I cannot say enough GOOD things about Charlie.... I needed a small metal repair done and he came in on a Sunday morning before I went to work and he got it done after lunch and just such an absolutely amazing job amazingly kind person and I will refer him every chance I get to everyone. And the price was absolutely wonderful as well so I gave them a huge tip! Haha”

“Took a swing gate wheel bracket to made fit a new wheel replacement. Guy did the job in 4 minutes. What a fellow. Extremely a talent of a trade. He saved me 120.00. May God bless him and his family.”

“I recently dropped off a small job after reading the reviews here. It was on a Wednesday. I basically needed eight 4 inch beads/welds using angle iron I provided. The guy said it would be no problem and he could do it Friday or Monday. I never heard back so I went back up on the following Tuesday. When I got there with my 2 year old, we waited while two guys sat in the office playing on their phone or talking on the phone. Finally someone came out and I saw the job had not even been started. The guy said they would get to it soon. I called back on Friday. A different guy said he would do it later that day. I went back up on a Monday to check. When I got there, nobody was working and one guy was in the office playing on the phone. The job still had not been started. In fact, the materials I provided had not even been moved from the first day that I dropped them off. They were all very shady characters, use caution.”

“My boyfriend had something dropped off there and they got it done the same day such great guys!”
