With over 15 years of hands-on welding experience, we ensure durable welds and precision fabrication for custom projects, industrial needs, and structural applications.

Our welding services are ideal for:

Structural Strength: Creating durable, load-bearing joints for frames, supports, and assemblies where integrity matters.
Precision Fabrication: Producing clean, controlled welds on detailed or tight-tolerance components using MIG or TIG processes.
Thin or Thick Materials: Welding everything from thin gauge sheet metal to heavy plate with proper heat control and penetration.
Low-Volume Manufacturing: The most current welding technology for engineered products that demand durability, efficiency, and a great looking end product.

Common Problems we Solve for Clients Every Day

Our Complete Welding Services

Our years of welding experience bring a lot of possibilities for custom fabrication projects. Our welding services we offer to Rapid City clients include:

Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding

Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding uses a semi-automatic or automatic arc with a consumable wire electrode and shielding gas. MIG welding is ideal for fusing large, thick materials, and welds require minimal cleaning.

Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is a more versatile welding method, best for small and thin materials. TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an optional filler rod. TIG welds are typically stronger and more precise than MIG welds.

Weld Inspections & Quality Assurance

We don't send your project out our doors without ensuring your total satisfaction. We will review and test welds to ensure stability and longevity before calling a project complete.

Materials We Can Weld

Whether you’re a local fabricator facing tight deadlines or a production company looking to outsource work, our welding services combine with our Waterjet Cutting and CAD Design capabilities for full-service solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Welding

To help you decide if welding is the right solution for your project, here are answers to common questions.

Which Welding Method is Best For My Project?

Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is ideal for fusing large, thick materials. Examples of projects well-suited to MIG welding include trailer repairs, heavy-duty brackets and mounts, and weld repairs needing done quickly.

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is a more versatile welding method, best for small and thin materials. TIG projects could include parts and assemblies requiring strong but aesthetically pleasing welds, food-grade or clean-finish components, and custom weldments requiring tight tolerances.

What's the average turnaround time for a Welding project?

While actual project timelines are dependent on scope, scale, and current workload, most jobs are completed in 1-3 days, with rush options available for urgent needs.

Do You Handle Structural or Load-Bearing Welds?

While we do not offer certified structural welding, the experts at Elite Fabz specialize in custom-designed weldments for non-structural related projects.

How Much Welding Experience Do You Have

The team at Elite Fabz has over 25 years of combined welding experience that we bring to each project we take on.
