Our Story

Building relationships through superior metalwork since 2012

Who We Are

Honest Work, Done Right

Dockter's Welding began as a small family operation in 2012, founded on a simple principle: do quality work, charge fair prices, and treat customers like neighbors — because they are.

What started as a single welder and a pickup truck has grown into a full-service fabrication shop, but our values remain unchanged. We still believe in handshakes over contracts, in showing up when we say we will, and in taking pride every single weld we make.

Located in Linton, ND, we serve the entire southeastern region of the state. From the oil fields to the family farms, from commercial construction sites to residential properties — we bring the same level of care and expertise to every job, big or small.
