Pricing was sort of ambiguous. I asked for a materials/labor breakdown, but wasn't given one. The final price was the same as the estimate, so that wasn't an issue. I do understand that the cost of the material I chose had to be factored in. I think the price I paid was comparable to what other fabricators would have charged.

In the past there have been contractors of the year, but Pete Kessler wins the CONTRACTOR OF A LIFETIME AWARD. We were so happy with the end product of his restoration work, that words cannot describe it. I can only try. When I originally walked into the grand hallway of the property and discovered the damage, I was devastated by the destruction that the water had done. It appeared that the hallway would never be the same again. My wife and I spent the next couple of months contemplating the restoration and interviewed several contractors and experts before choosing Pete. His knowledge, expertise, and his lengthy references was the reason we choose Pete Kessler. He has worked on the James J. Hill House and Swedish Institute to name only a couple. When he said that his goal was to save ever piece of wood including the floor, I actually could not believe it could be possible. He assured me that I would be surprised on what could be saved if a person would set their mind to rescuing it. However, as the project proceeded and as pieces of molding and paneling were removed, straightened and restored on site, I became amazed as molding stains were tediously matched to perfection. But the best was when the floors were repaired, saving almost all of the original wood and the rest was matched by a tedious search for old/matching flooring. I was amazed by the meticulous attention to the detail of every aspect of the restoration. He treated our home as if it was his own! It was treated like a treasure and in the end, the best compliment that I could make would be this: if you were to walk into our home, you would never know that this horrific disaster ever happened. Our home stands with its original grandeur and with its original components. Should you consider Pete for your restoration, he is welcome to show you his work in our home. We will be forever grateful to Pete.

He was willing to purchase and install Styrofoam insulation on the exterior prior to installing the metal lath and the rest of the stucco. (Not a normal part of re-stuccoing a house). Even though we were running out of fall weather, he got the first two coats applied before winter set in. Even though I half expected to be looking at the scaffolding all winter, they removed the scaffolding and cleaned up before leaving for the winter.

I called another metal recycler, this one located in St. Paul. Bob answered the phone and as soon as I said I had an old wood stove and verified it was beyond usable life, he said, ''ah, the chimney's shot, isn't it?'' My confidence level went way up. Further, he offered to pick up the stove, as he understood that a solid cast iron wood stove is going to approach the weight of a radiator (several hundred pounds) which is not the sort of thing you toss in the back of the car yourself.

FAQs for metal fabrication and restoration projects in Saint Paul, MN
Metal fabrication is a large umbrella term that can include bending metal, welding, cutting, stamping, drilling, forging, and casting. Metal fabricators often have quite a few pieces of specialized machinery and experience in the different forms of fabrication, which means they’re able to handle many different forms of metal work. An experienced metal fabricator might be able to tackle everything from creating metal siding or roofing from raw materials to constructing a custom wrought iron fence.
The average hourly rate for a metal fabricator is around $70, but the scope of your project will play a big role in your total costs. A good way to get an estimate for your metal fabrication project is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four. A quarter of your total typically goes toward material, and three quarters goes toward labor. Some factors that can influence your metal fabrication costs include the difficulty of your project, the metal you’re using, and your specified design.
A welder is a metal worker that uses heat and specialized tools to bind metal together, while a sheet metal worker more often uses cold methods to bend thin sheets of metal into shape for siding, roofing, or some other application. A metal fabricator might use one or both of these metal working techniques, along with others, to provide a wider range of services. In many cases, a metal fabricator is the most likely to be able to handle your metal project.
