1. Who you are dealing with

Robinson Welding and Fabrication is a welding and fabrication shop owned and run by Robert Robinson at 110 Burke Dr, Freeport, Pennsylvania 16229. The shop welds aluminum, stainless steel and carbon steel, builds custom fabrication, makes repairs, and does drilling and tapping, using MIG and TIG.

These terms cover this website and the work the shop takes on. "We", "us" and "the shop" mean Robinson Welding and Fabrication. "You" means the person or company hiring the shop. Using this site or bringing us work means you accept these terms.

2. Quotes and estimates

Quotes are free and there is no obligation. Call or email, tell us what broke or what you need built, and you get a number from the person who will be doing the work.

A number given over the phone, by text, or from photos is an estimate. It stays an estimate until the part is in front of us and has been looked over in person. Photos hide cracks, prior repairs, thin spots, corrosion and wall thickness, and a part that looks straightforward in a picture is not always straightforward on the bench. If what we find changes the price, you hear the new number before any further work happens.

Every job is quoted on its own. There is no price list here, because a bracket, a trailer frame, a radiator neck and a set of shelving are not the same work. A price quoted for one job is not a price for the next one.

Send photos with a size and a purpose. A picture, a rough measurement, the material if you know it, and what the part has to do gets you a far closer number than a description alone.

3. Approval before work starts

Nothing gets cut, drilled or welded until you have the price and say to go ahead. Approval can be given in person, by phone, by text or by email. Approving a job means you accept the price quoted for it and the scope described with it.

4. Changes to the job

If you add to the job, change a dimension, change the material, or ask for something the original quote did not include, that is a new scope and it gets re-quoted before we carry on. The same goes for work we uncover once a part is apart, for example a second crack behind the first one, or a previous repair that has to come out before a sound weld can go in.

You will not get a surprise on the invoice. You will get a call.

5. Material you supply

You are welcome to bring your own material or your own part. When you do, understand what the shop can and cannot control.

  • Unknown metal is a risk you carry. Alloys, grades and fillers matter. Some aluminum alloys and some cast pieces do not weld well, or do not weld at all, and a part of unknown grade cannot be guaranteed.
  • Contamination. Paint, powder coat, plating, galvanizing, oil, grease, fuel residue, antifreeze and old sealant all affect a weld. We clean what we reasonably can, but a contaminated or previously coated part can still give a poor result.
  • Previously repaired parts. An earlier weld, a braze, a filler patch or a weld run with the wrong filler can hide problems and can crack again next to the new work. We are not responsible for the condition of a repair someone else made.
  • Unsuitable or damaged material. If material you supply turns out to be the wrong grade, too thin, cracked through, corroded past saving, or otherwise unsuitable, we are not responsible for it and replacing it is on you. Time spent finding that out is chargeable.
  • Heat moves metal. Welding warps, discolors and stresses material. Distortion, heat marks and burn through on thin or already weakened sections are a normal part of the process, not a defect.

We will tell you honestly if we think a part is not worth repairing or is not safe to repair. If you ask us to weld it anyway, we may decline, and we may put the limits of that repair in writing before starting.

6. Repairs versus new fabrication

These are two different things and they carry different expectations.

A repair returns a used part to service. It is worked on around whatever wear, age, damage and prior history the part already has. A repaired part is not a new part, we cannot see inside the metal around the repair, and we do not promise the rest of the part will hold.

New fabrication is built from material we specify or that you specify, to the dimensions agreed for that job. We build to the design and the measurements you approve. If the design itself is yours, the design is yours to stand behind.

7. Certification and code work

The shop does not certify or code stamp work. We do not issue welder certification papers, weld procedure qualifications, material test reports, or a code stamp with a job.

We do not perform certified structural welding, code welding, or pressure vessel and boiler welding, and nothing we build should be treated as certified or code compliant, unless we have specifically agreed to that with you in writing beforehand. If your job needs a stamp, an inspection, a sealed drawing or a certified procedure, tell us at the quote stage, because that is a different job with different requirements and it may be one we point you elsewhere for.

8. Lifting equipment and man baskets

The shop builds man baskets, lifting attachments, forklift attachments and similar equipment to the specification the customer states, including the dimensions, the material, the mounting arrangement and any capacity you give us. We build what you specify. We do not design or certify the rating.

Because that equipment carries people or loads, responsibility for using it safely sits with the owner and the operator:

  • Confirming the design and the specification are right for the machine and the task before we build it.
  • Having the finished equipment inspected, rated, tested and approved by a qualified party where that is required.
  • Making sure the machine it attaches to is suitable and within its own limits.
  • Meeting every workplace safety rule and regulation that applies to your use of it, including OSHA requirements.
  • Inspecting and maintaining it over its life, and taking it out of service when it is damaged, modified or worn.

Nothing we build for lifting or personnel work is certified, rated or approved by this shop, and it should never be put into service on the strength of the weld alone.

9. Payment

Payment is due when the work is finished and the part is picked up or delivered, unless we agree on something different at the time you approve the job. A deposit toward material may be asked for on larger fabrication jobs, or on jobs where we buy the material for you.

There is no online checkout and no card processing on this website. Nothing on this site charges you. Which forms of payment the shop takes is settled with Robert directly when the job is approved.

Work stays the property of the shop until it is paid for. On an unpaid invoice we may hold the item until the balance is settled, and you are responsible for the reasonable costs of collecting it.

10. Items left at the shop

Please pick up finished work promptly. This is a working shop with limited floor space, and a finished part sitting on the bench is space a job in progress needs.

Items are left at your own risk while they are here. The shop is not a storage facility and is not an insurer of property you drop off. If finished work is left uncollected after we have told you it is ready, and after we have tried to reach you at the phone number and email you gave us, we may treat it as abandoned and dispose of it or sell it to recover what is owed, as far as Pennsylvania law allows.

11. Scheduling

The shop is available evenings and weekends. That is when most work gets scheduled, and it is why a call in the middle of a weekday may go to voicemail. Leave a message and it gets returned.

Any timeframe we give you is an honest estimate, not a guaranteed date. Material availability, the condition of the part, a job ahead of yours running long, and the ordinary weather and equipment problems of a shop can all move a date. If your job has a real deadline, say so up front so we can tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

12. First responder and military discount

Robinson Welding and Fabrication offers a 20% discount for first responders and military. Mention it when you ask for the quote so it is in the number from the start, rather than after the invoice is written.

13. Limitation of liability

Our responsibility for a job is limited to the work itself: reworking it, repairing it, or refunding what you paid for that job, whichever fits the situation. Bring a concern to us and we will look at it.

We are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses connected to a job, such as downtime, lost work, rental costs, towing, missed deadlines or lost profits. We are not responsible for the condition of the rest of a used part beyond the area we worked on, for failures caused by material you supplied, for a design you specified, or for how a finished item is loaded, used, modified or maintained after it leaves the shop.

Welded and fabricated items can have sharp edges, weld spatter and hot surfaces when new. Handle finished work accordingly, and let it cool before moving it.

14. This website

This site is provided as it is. The photographs on it show real work done by the shop. They are examples of past jobs, not a promise of an identical result on yours. We keep the information here accurate, but we do not guarantee it is free of errors or always available. Nothing on this site is a quote.

The photographs, text and logo on this site belong to Robinson Welding and Fabrication and are not to be copied for other use.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute connected to a job or to this site belongs in the state or federal courts serving Pennsylvania.

16. Updates to these terms

These terms can change. The version posted here, with the date at the top of the page, is the one that applies. The terms in effect when your job was approved are the ones that govern that job.
