Coastal Welding Works

Coastal Welding Works operates as welders based along the coast in Corpus Christi, Texas. They form part of a family owned operation that has supplied welding materials and gases across southeast Texas and the coastal stretch down to Corpus Christi for decades. The crew focuses on metal repairs and builds that stand up to salt air, storms, and daily wear on boats, trucks, and outdoor structures. Homeowners and travelers turn to them for fixes that other shops skip because the jobs require on-site work, quick material pulls, and designs made to fit odd equipment like RVs or school buses.

Steve at Coastal Welding Works takes calls for custom jobs such as designing and welding a surfboard rack from raw stock then bolting it onto an RV after the owner searched for months. He sealed a leaking gas tank on a school bus that had rolled in from Florida when three other shops passed. For a nonprofit camp he repaired a floating dock gangway on site without charging labor. A boater dropped off a prop needing a fresh hub and drove away thirty minutes later with the part installed and ready for the water. They pull stock fast, work on site when needed, and finish without leaving loose ends.

Customers rate the outfit highest for solid welds that last in coastal conditions, same-day turnaround on most repairs, and straight talk from the first phone call through the final check. Quality comes through in every job from simple hubs to full racks, speed keeps boats and vehicles moving without long waits, and communication avoids surprises on price or timing. Those traits add up for steady work in a trade where rushed or weak fixes show up fast. DIRT Score 4.7 from 25 reviews on Finds.

“Currently here getting a surfboard rack made and mounted to my RV. I have been trying to get something for my surfboards for a couple months now and I haven’t been able to find anyone who could come up with a design, get material, make and install the rack. Coastal Welding Works called me this morning and said they had an opening. From brainstorming to install they were able to get the job done. I can not believe the quality of the work, and how fast they are getting it done. This is truly a top shop. They are very knowledgeable here and do not half @$$ anything. They are very busy but if you need something welded and they have an opening I strongly recommend getting the work done here. They are amazingly hospitable and friendly and they have a super cute mascot cat named Gracie to keep you entertained while they work 🥰 Will add photos of completed work 👍”

“I live full time in a school bus and struggled from FL to TX to find someone who could either replace or fix my gas tank that was leaking. Once I got in Aransas Pass I called 3 different welding shops and all 3 directed me to Steve at Coastal Welding. Not enough good things can be said about Steve and his employees at Coastal Welding. They took my projects on as if they where there own. Using the same level of care and consideration as if this was there home. Highly recommend!! Especially if you are a nomad and require a few extra considerations.”

“Great work and great people!! Steve went above and beyond by donating his time to help local non profit, Camp Aranzazu, with an onsite repair to our floating dock gangway. Quality work and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend Coastal Welding Works for your welding needs!”

“Great service and communication, needed a new hub for my prop, took it over to Coastal Welding Works, had me in and out within 30 minutes with a new hub. Now I’m back on the water.”

“I contracted with Steve to fabricate and install hand rails for my dock and pool. He made an initial measurement then came back for another fitting before installing today. The whole process was done professionally and with care for our specific needs. We also enjoyed the friendliness of Steve and his employees. I highly recommend Coastal Welding Works for any fabricating job. Thank you Steve!”
