What to know about Welding
Welders join and repair metal by melting it together, and for most homeowners the job means fixing something rather than designing it: a railing post snapped at its base, a gate hinge torn loose, a trailer tongue or ramp, a cracked snowblower frame, or a steel post in a renovation. A mobile welder brings a truck-mounted rig to your driveway, while a shop repairs pieces you bring in and takes on work that needs space, lifting gear or a sheltered setting.

We list 11 other places within 30 km of Vancouver. Each pro sets their own service area, so tell us where the work is as well as what it needs.
Vancouver is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name Metro Vancouver, which takes in 14 other places. A pro's service area might be Vancouver on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.
Vancouver publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in British Columbia. Whether welding needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.
The rules we can source for this work in British Columbia cover new-home building and warranty. They are set out below with the page each one came from — the regulator's words, not ours.

- Have you done jobs like this before, and can I see examples?
- What is included in your price, and what isn't?

- Can you show me proof of liability insurance?
- When can you start, and how long will the job take?
- What warranty or guarantee do you offer on your work?
Welding permits in Vancouver
Some welding work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Licensing in British Columbia
New-home building and warranty
Anyone building a new home as a general contractor, developer or building envelope renovator must first become a licensed residential builder with BC Housing, and new homes built by licensed builders need home warranty insurance.

Common welding questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
