D & M Welding

D & M Welding operates as a welder out of Helotes, Texas, with roots going back to 1974 when the shop first started handling metal fabrication work. The crew focuses on both sheet metal and structural fabrications, taking time to read blueprints and understand exactly how each piece will be used by the customer. They run a facility equipped for precision output rather than chasing every job that comes along, which keeps their skills sharp on the core tasks of cutting, bending, and welding. This steady approach has let them build a reputation among local homeowners and businesses who need metal work done right the first time without extra complications.

Donovan handles a lot of the on-site repairs and custom jobs, showing up with his gear to fix rusted steel door hinges on a smoker by welding on new ones with brass pins after talking through the details with the owner. The same crew has repaired and built ranch items like gates, chutes, and branding stoves, and even tackled a tricky job saving a metal owl sculpture named Olivia that needed careful welding to hold together. Customers also bring in requests for full custom fabrication or straightforward fixes, and the shop delivers clean, strong results that hold up under real use while keeping the process direct and professional from start to finish.

Homeowners keep coming back because the welds come out strong and neat with real attention to detail, the work gets finished without dragging on, and the pricing stays fair for the quality delivered. Reviews highlight how Donovan stays polite, explains everything ahead of time, and shows up ready to handle jobs at the house when needed, which builds trust fast. That consistent performance across repair work and fabrication projects is what adds up to solid marks in quality and communication. DIRT Score 4.35 from 16 reviews on Finds.

“Amazing is the key word with MDM Welds! My father was a rancher who welded together many gates, chutes, branding stoves and more. He would have loved meeting this kind, professional, gifted young man and applauded his skills. We can’t thank you enough for saving our “Olivia” owl. Also, very amazed at the pickup and delivery in record time. This is what makes American great! Thank you so very much - God Bless!”

“I had a couple of steel door hinges that had rusted and frozen up on my smoker. I found some new weld-on hinges with brass pins, and Donovan took care of the rest. Donovan was very polite and professional, and discussed the project thoroughly before proceeding. He brought his equipment to my house, cut the hinges off, ground the old welds flush, tacked the new hinges on, and had me test them out before completing the welding. He also welded on a spring handle to the damper door and helped me position the smoker back in place. His pricing and quality of workmanship were exceptional. I would not hesitate to call on Donovan for future welding needs and would recommend his work to friends and neighbors!”

His attention to detail, professionalism, and work ethic truly stand out. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations — clean welds, strong finishes, and everything done right the first time. He was punctual, respectful, and communicated clearly throughout the process. It’s rare to find someone this skilled and dependable. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-quality welding work.”

“The quality of the work was amazing- strong, clean welds and great attention to detail. Donovan was professional, friendly, and clearly experienced. Whether you need custom fabrication, repairs, or just reliable welding work, I highly recommend MDM welds. Great service, fair pricing, and a solid local business worth supporting”

“This guy went over and beyond to lay some welds for me. Even came to my home without me there and handled business and didn’t disrespect my property at all. Will use this service for ALL my welding needs and will never have to worrry about that anymore”
