About Us
Gary's Welding Inc. has served Gillette and the surrounding area for over 33 years. We specialize in industrial plant builds and shutdowns, welding, repair, construction, plant piping, aluminum and stainless steel fabrication and repair, and concrete just to name a few things. We have experience in project estimating and bidding of multi-million dollar jobs, and managing projects to completion with as many as 40 or more employees.
How We Got Started
My employer was finishing up a project and I didn't like the prospect of going on unemployment. I knew of former clients that were in need of my welding services, and they were asking me when they could start using me. We felt that it was time to spring for the little bit of equipment I needed to get started and we began business in Aug. 1989. I have had some of these same customers since I started my business, I enjoy working with them and being able to solve some of their most vexing issues.

Back in the 50's and early 60's quarantines were for those that were sick. The doctor came to the house and would put up a sign on your front door warning people if he felt the need for it. Our house was subject to that once or twice but if we showed no symptoms we could go to school, not...

Back in the 50's and early 60's quarantines were for those that were sick. The doctor came to the house and would put up a sign on your front door warning people if he felt the need for it. Our house was subject to that once or twice but if we showed no symptoms we could go to school, not everyone got sick. My wife lost a 3 1/2 year old cousin to the Hong Kong flu of 1957-58 so I think we need to practice good hygiene and be careful out there. My business has been open but my customers have slowed down quite a bit, I remain open and I have work coming up that will keep us busy, but I am not sure about some of my clients.

When was the last time you took a vacation, maybe a working vacation. take a few days off. Check out what realtors in other areas are doing that might peak your interest, new ideas that will help you maybe think 'outside the box'. 17 years, sounds like your just getting to the good part and a 'facelift' of sorts might be in order, ie, paint the office, remodel the outside, new furniture, nothing big but small changes will help redirect your focus, something that will get you excited about coming to work. If you have others in the office, this will give them energy also and they will want to come to work.
We applied, USBank was slow in responding, maybe they were just figuring out the system. Every day more questions, then boom, no more money. I have some misgivings about it to start with, I pay a lot of taxes every year just to see the government give it to large companies with upwards of 500...

I have a welding business, I have been busy every day, the work I have lined up will keep us busy for several more months. I am not really getting many calls, many of my clients were sent to work from their homes and those that are still at the work sites aren't allowing contractors on site because of the spread of the virus. As long as I stay busy I don't mind it, I know this won't last long, most flue seasons burn out by spring time. It is strange not seeing the traffic on the streets and restaurants closed.
We aren't seeing much of an effect, just the nature of our business. But we are seeing it on a personal level, what it is doing for our families that have to do the shopping. It is crazy out there, but this too will pass.

Don't refer someone if you don't know them or have never used their services, it could come back to bite you. When you make a referral, you are putting your name behind that.

I think you will find that you will limit your potential setting it up this way. I will provide a perspective from the buyer's point of view. When I am shopping for that perfect kitchen or bath, I would like to see choices and options that I can touch, and feel the quality because I have to convince myself the purchase is wise. I will pay more for a designer that has experience and can help me with my selection, because I am not a kitchen and bath designer. That being said, I have had to fix or work around areas that were designed by someone that had no experience (they thought they were great at designing until they found out 'not') and I had to make corrections. Just a thought.

I have asked my employees over the years and have never found any that were interested in getting insurance. I have had guys work for me for over 20 years and they have never had an interest. Most of their wives or significant others have it with their own employers that covers the families. I even offer 401K and have only had a small fraction get on board with that. They like the money I pay them and want to spend it their own way.

We started out as a welding company, now we offer a range of construction services including excavation, concrete work, equipment installation along with our welding of pipe and structural metals, including stainless steel, aluminum and iron. Most of our clients are in the energy industries, such as power generation, mining, oil and gas extraction and refining. We have the occasional walk-in customer with a half hour job(I don't turn them down) up to projects that are $50,000 and greater. We serve the state of Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota areas. Mount Rushmore is a 2 hour drive and Yellowstone Park is about 5 hrs from here.

Do you have a positive working relationship with these people already or have you done business with them in the past? It sounds to me like they want someone else to subsidize or pay for their game. I would let them handle their own expenses because in the end they will be in control and will...

Do you have a positive working relationship with these people already or have you done business with them in the past? It sounds to me like they want someone else to subsidize or pay for their game. I would let them handle their own expenses because in the end they will be in control and will dictate who gets top billing or more prominent placement. You, on the other hand are free to continue doing what you are comfortable with, emphasis on 'comfortable'.
