In the old gym here in Colfax we just needed a 4.75" stainless steel cover. Called several shops for help, all said "sure" but never showed up. Texted Cass, and within no time, Alex was on site, looked at what we needed and took care of the issue. Thanks, Alex, for being willing to take on the little projects for the little guys. :-)
Meet Alex Olson
Owner and operator, Oley's Welding & Repair
We're a small local business based out of the Wahpeton / Colfax area. What started as one truck, a welder, and a lot of long days has kept growing through hard work and word of mouth from customers who trust us to get the job done right.
Today we run a shop in Wahpeton along with fully mobile service, so we can meet you in the field, at the lake, on the farm, or on the jobsite — wherever the work is.
I've been welding since 2009 and working in the trade professionally since 2012. Before starting Oley's, I spent years welding on cell phone towers across the country. That taught me to take pride in quality, reliability, and standing behind my work, and that's exactly how we run this business today.
