“I took the swing arm of my boat trailer to Joe to repair stress cracks at the mounting bolts holes. During his initial repair the heat caused the metal to pull and contract so that when I tried to remount it the bolt holes no longer lined up with the holes on the trailer. With Joe’s help, we devised a temporary fix and I was able to get the entire trailer to his workshop. He put in additional time to once again repair the swing arm so that it fit perfectly and it appeared to be stronger than the original construction. I will definitely use Joe for any future work I need done and will strongly recommend him to all my friends and family. Thanks for the excellent work Joe!”

“I had an excellent experience with Joe Ruckmans Welding. Joe is extremely professional, detail-oriented, and truly takes pride in his work. I brought him a project he had never done before—building a custom ramp for my mobile X-ray machine along with installing a winch—and after I explained what I needed, he delivered exactly what I had envisioned.
What really stood out was how thorough he was throughout the process. He didn’t just follow instructions—he also suggested improvements that made the final result even better than I expected. His expertise and problem-solving skills really show in the quality of his work.
Joe went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and the finished product reflects his dedication and craftsmanship. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-quality, professional welding work.”

“Joe is the ultimate professional you are looking for. His ability to listen, assess, recommend, formalize a plan, diagram, then execute and deliver as discussed was beyond my expectation. The end product is a functional work of art. I highly recommend his services. Thanks Joe!”

“Fantastic work! I came into contact with Joe after watching his work in our neighbors gate. Since day 1, Joe was professional, personable, & hard working. After setting up an appointment with him, my father in-law & I had the opportunity to interact with Joe. We quickly realized that his years of experience spoke highly of him. Joe is extremely knowledgeable in what he does and had no problem explaining the entire process of my project to us. He design 3D Blue prints. He kept in communication with me while the gate was being welded & Fabricated. Joe also installed a metal mesh on our side yard to give us more privacy. My husband and I were very pleased with his work. Our gate may be simple but it is so beautiful. I will no longer have to worry my plants, decorations or packages being stolen off my front porch. This gate is strong! Joe guaranteed that it is weather resistant and nothing will brake or rust. Thank you Joe for putting together our beautiful gate! And please thank your partner as well for working so hard during these hot summer days.”
