ABOUT LAWHON WELDING
ABOUT LAWHON WELDING & FABRICATION

I started this business in 2000 as a one-man welding shop that I operated from my garage. My primary business was trailers, farm equipment, and miscellaneous small projects.
In 2015, I moved into a 6,000 square foot facility where I worked alone and mostly fabricated handrails and gates. Since moving into the new facility and being incorporated in 2022 as Lawhon Welding and Fabrication LLC, we have gained a reputation as one of the top metal cutters in South Carolina and are able to serve different companies throughout the state.
We have been in the business for over 25 years, and we are committed to providing high quality services and competitive pricing to our customers. We are fully insured. We provide waterjet cutting which helps with more complex jobs, along with plasma CNC cutting, plate rolling, press brake forming, and steel, aluminum, and stainless steel welding. Our shop also handles custom fabrication, trailer repair, and structural work. Customers return to us because the work holds up, the pricing is straightforward, and jobs are completed without unnecessary delays.
Our shop at 4209 Flowers Rd in Florence has built a reputation for getting repairs done right. We work on everything from cracked trailer frames and broken farm equipment to custom-fabricated brackets and structural steel assemblies. Aluminum welding is a particular area of expertise. Working with aluminum requires specific technique, proper preparation, and the right filler material for the base alloy. Our welders have handled aluminum boat hulls, ramps, marine components, and custom aluminum fabrications for customers across Florence, SC and the surrounding counties for years.
The feedback we consistently receive reflects what matters to the people we serve: fast work, quality welds, and honest prices. Whether you have a small repair that takes thirty minutes or a multi-day fabrication project, you will receive a clear price upfront, work performed by experienced welders, and a finished product that does what it is supposed to do. We serve Florence, Darlington, Hartsville, Lake City, Marion, Dillon, and communities throughout the Pee Dee region.

Service Areas
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does welding repair typically cost?
- Repair cost depends on the material, joint type, and time required. Simple repairs on steel parts are generally on the lower end of the scale while aluminum repairs and larger fabrications take more time and cost more accordingly. We do not charge an arm and a leg for honest work, and we give you a price before we start so there are no surprises.
- Do you offer free estimates?
- Yes. Bring your part or project to our shop at 4209 Flowers Rd in Florence, SC and we will assess it and give you a quote at no charge. For mobile work or larger projects where an on-site visit is needed, call us at (854) 400-5355 to discuss.
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Yes. Lawhon Welding & Fabrication carries the appropriate insurance for the welding and fabrication work we perform. You can reach us at (854) 400-5355 if you have specific questions about coverage for your project.
- What areas do you serve?
- Our shop is located in Florence, SC and we serve customers throughout Florence County and the broader Pee Dee region, including Darlington, Hartsville, Lake City, Marion, Dillon, Sumter, Conway, Timmonsville, and Bennettsville. For mobile welding, service area depends on travel distance, so call us to confirm.
- How quickly can you complete a welding job?
- Many repairs, particularly steel repairs and aluminum fixes, are turned around the same day or the next business day. More involved fabrication projects take longer depending on material availability and job complexity. Reviewers consistently note that our turnaround is fast, and we work to keep it that way.
- What metals do you work with?
- We work with mild steel, structural steel, aluminum alloys including marine-grade aluminum, and stainless steel. If you have a less common material or need help identifying what your part is made of, bring it in and we will take a look.
- Do you do mobile welding or do I have to bring my equipment to the shop?
- We offer both. If you can bring the part or equipment to our Florence, SC shop, that is usually the fastest option. For items that are too large or too integrated to transport, we can come to your location in Florence County and the surrounding Pee Dee area. Call (854) 400-5355 to discuss your situation.
- What payment methods do you accept?
- We accept cash and check. Call us at (854) 400-5355 to confirm current payment options for your specific job, as this may vary for larger projects or mobile work.
- Do you guarantee your work?
- We stand behind the quality of our welds. If something we repaired or fabricated fails due to a defect in our workmanship rather than misuse or overloading, bring it back and we will make it right. One reviewer put it simply: they fix it right.
- Can you build a custom part from scratch if I do not have a drawing?
- Yes. Bring a sample of the broken part, a rough sketch, or just a clear description of what you need and we will work with you to figure out the right approach. We do this regularly for customers who need a replacement part that is no longer available from the original manufacturer.
