Kings Mobile Welding
When prospective customers ask, “How can you offer lower rates than your competition?” we welcome the question — because it gives us a chance to explain exactly how we deliver excellent welding services without overcharging. Below are the real reasons Kings Mobile Welding can pass savings to you — and why choosing us doesn’t mean cutting corners.
1. Minimal Overhead = Lower Costs
One of the biggest cost drivers for typical welding or fabrication companies is overhead: rent, utilities, shop maintenance, full-time staff salaries, insurance, administrative staff, and more. Traditional companies must factor a percentage of all that overhead into every job so they can stay afloat.
By contrast, Kings Mobile Welding is a lean operation. We run with:
- One mobile rig
- Owner as the primary operator
- Only occasional 1099 help when needed
Because we’re not paying rent on a large facility, maintaining a big shop, or carrying a full staff all the time, we avoid a lot of fixed costs. We can therefore price more competitively.
2. Direct Sourcing of Steel & In-House Stock
Another way we reduce costs and deliver that benefit to you:
- For larger jobs, we source steel directly from the mill, cutting out the middleman markup from a metal shop.
- We also maintain a stock of metal in-house, which means we don’t always have to wait for external suppliers or pay premium rush fees.
These practices help us keep material costs down — and that translates into lower quotes for you.
3. Streamlined Job Planning, Less Waste, On-Budget Execution
A key difference with Kings Mobile Welding is our disciplined job planning. We don’t just “wing it” — each project is carefully laid out in advance:
- We scope materials, cutting lists, and layouts before arriving on site
- We coordinate logistical steps so there’s minimal downtime or rework
- We optimize welding sequences to reduce travel, overhead, and idle time
Because of this precision, we avoid overruns, reduce wasted material and labor, and stick as close as possible to the budget and schedule. That control means you pay less in unexpected costs.
4. Mobile Model Eliminates Extra Transport & Shop Fees
When you bring a project to a fixed shop, you often incur:
- Transport/delivery costs
- Loading/unloading costs
- Fees for shop space, staging, handling
With mobile welding, we bring the workshop to your location. You bypass those added charges entirely. This is a well-known cost advantage of mobile welding services. discountmobilewelding.com+2genesisweldingfabrication.com+2
Because we don’t maintain a permanent shop with all its expenses, we don’t have to pass along those fees to you.
5. Optimized Energy, Consumables & Efficient Practices
There are more subtle ways we control costs (and many of these are industry best practices for reducing welding expenses). For example:
- We monitor and minimize energy usage (welding power, lighting, idle time) so we’re not wasting electricity. Bug-O Systems
- We use consumables (wire, electrodes, shielding gas) efficiently, minimizing waste or overuse
- We plan cutting and nesting strategies to reduce off-cuts and scrap
- We prevent rework by ensuring proper fit-up, alignment, and weld prep before starting
These small efficiencies across many jobs compound — allowing us to maintain high quality while keeping your cost down.
6. Transparency & No Hidden Markups
Many larger shops or contractors load hidden markups — for shop overhead, handling, waste, internal profit cushions, or “miscellaneous” line items. We believe in transparency. When you get a quote from us, you see:
- Labor cost
- Material cost
- Travel / mobilization cost
- Any subcontract or outside cost
Because we run lean and have less internal burden, we don’t need to hide extra percentages.
What You Still Get — No Compromise
Just because our pricing is lower doesn’t mean quality, reliability, or professionalism suffer. With Kings Mobile Welding, you still get:
- AWS D1.1–caliber welds
- On-site or remote jobs
- Responsive scheduling
- Clean, code-compliant work
- Trustworthy performance
We believe passing savings to the customer is our competitive edge — not underdelivering.
