Water’s Edge Dock and Hoist – Our Story Despite what many people say, the “American Dream” isn’t dead. It turns out filling a need with rolled up sleeves, hard work, customer care, and a lot of pride can still get you somewhere. We, Garrick and Jerry Wilson, started Water’s Edge Dock and Hoist to supplement the income from our landscaping business. What started as a small client list has turned into our own “Dock Dynasty”. No T.V. show yet, but our operation includes 12 full time employees. In addition to our dock installation and winter removal services, we’ve branched into selling new docks, hoists (boat lifts) and equipment. We are a proud dealer for Great Lakes Lift and Docks. We have also added a custom fabrication shop and mobile trailer for those clients who like to shake things up a bit. Our biggest asset, in size, is our 30-foot hydraulic barge/hoist that services over 100 lakes in the region. If you are on this site, you probably have a passion for the water. We do as well and we proudly live the boating lifestyle. We are lucky enough that our passion translated into a successful business. Our “small list” of customers is now a database of over 650 clients and friends we visit most every season. Whether you are looking for a new dock or hoist (boat lift), or need your current equipment installed, removed or serviced, we are glad you found our site. Give us a call on the “blue phone” hotline and you’ll see how our work ethic and out-of-the-box thinking keeps our clients happy. We’ll see you on the lake! Garrick and Jerry

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.
The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.
There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:
Are you licensed and certified?
How long have you been in the welding business?
Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?
Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?
Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
How long do you expect my welding project to take?
What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?
You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.
Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don’t. However, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they’re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.
