About ArcForge

A Houston welding shop built on certified craft, straight talk, and welds that outlast the paperwork.

Who We Are

A Shop That Signs
Every Weld

ArcForge Welding Service was founded in Houston in 1999 by Marcus Tran, a structural welder who believed a small shop could out-deliver the big contractors on quality alone. He was right. Today our AWS-certified crew serves plants, builders, and homeowners across the Gulf Coast.

We run one mobile fleet and one fabrication shop under a single standard: every weld inspected, documented, and guaranteed in writing before we invoice a dollar.

How We Work

Briefing, Processing,
Finishing — Done Right

Every ArcForge job follows the same three steps: a site walk and fixed quote, careful fit-up and coded welding, then grinding, coating, testing, and documented handover.

  • AWS-certified welders on every crew, apprentice to foreman.
  • Mobile rigs with their own power, air, and shelter.
  • Written warranty on workmanship for two full years.
