Aircraft Repair & Restoration

Expert Repair Services for All Aircraft Types

Whether your aircraft has suffered hangar rash, collision damage, or general wear over the years, our experienced technicians have the expertise to restore it to original or better-than-new condition. We handle projects ranging from minor dent removal to major structural repairs.

Our facility is equipped to handle aircraft of all sizes, from light singles to midsize business jets. Every repair is performed to meet or exceed FAA requirements, with comprehensive documentation provided throughout the process.

Collision & Damage Repair

Initial Damage Assessment: When your aircraft arrives with damage, we begin with a thorough inspection to identify all affected areas—both obvious damage and potential hidden concerns. This comprehensive assessment forms the basis of our repair plan and ensures we address all issues, not just the visible damage.

Structural Repair: Our technicians are trained in proper repair techniques for aluminum, composite, and mixed-material aircraft structures. From skin repair and replacement to structural member restoration, we follow manufacturer specifications and FAA guidelines to ensure structural integrity is fully restored.

Surface Restoration: Once structural repairs are complete, our painting specialists ensure the repaired areas blend seamlessly with the surrounding finish. We take pride in repairs that are truly invisible—testament to our attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Corrosion Treatment & Prevention

Minnesota's climate, with its humidity variations and winter road salt exposure, creates challenging conditions for aircraft. Corrosion can develop in hidden areas, compromising safety if not properly addressed.

Our corrosion treatment process includes thorough inspection of susceptible areas, removal of existing corrosion using approved methods, application of corrosion-resistant treatments, and protective coating to prevent future issues. We recommend regular corrosion inspections, particularly for aircraft based in northern climates.

Sheet Metal & Skin Work

Hangar doors, ground equipment, and even enthusiastic baggage handling can result in dents, dings, and skin damage. Our sheet metal specialists handle these repairs efficiently, often returning aircraft to service faster than you might expect.

From minor dent removal using paintless techniques to full skin panel replacement, we offer solutions appropriate to the damage severity and your budget constraints.

Wing Tip & Leading Edge Repair

Wing tips and leading edges are particularly vulnerable to damage from ground equipment, hangar obstacles, and even bird strikes. These repairs require specific expertise to maintain aerodynamic integrity and proper alignment.

We handle all types of leading edge damage, from simple gel coat repairs on composite surfaces to complete leading edge skin replacement on metal aircraft. Each repair includes proper edge preparation and finish application to ensure seamless integration with existing surfaces.

Landing Gear & Gear Door Repairs

Heavy landings, gear malfunctions, and ground handling incidents often result in landing gear and gear door damage. These repairs require precision and thorough testing to ensure safe operation.

Our capabilities include gear leg inspection and repair, gear door alignment and mechanism adjustment, strut inspection and service, and comprehensive operational testing before return to service.

Documentation & FAA Compliance

All repairs are properly documented for your aircraft records. For repairs requiring FAA inspection or approval, we handle the paperwork and coordination to ensure full compliance. Our detailed documentation protects you and ensures your aircraft maintains its airworthiness status.
