lHighly recommended - whenever we need masonry work in the future we'll be calling Luis Rojo. And incidentally the welder/gate installer Julio was great and if you need anything like metal gate/fence work done Mr. Rojo can probably get him to help.

They cut out the cracked galvanized pipe and welded in a new copper pipe. They replaced the old tub spout with a new one. They were courteous, cleaned up the area, and the job was completed in just under an hour.

One gate was approx 5 feet wide x 5 1/2 high, the second gate was a standard size width gate by approx the same height. I have a fireplace grate that had the design that I was looking to duplicate for these two gates--very simple, mainly big open S shapes, no animals, plants, et cetera. He asked for a deposit of $900 up front, which we provided. He said the gates would be ready 4/8. I did mention if they needed more time just to let us know. The 8th came and went and no call, no gates. We telephoned them the week of the 11th numerous times, but only were able to leave messages on their answering machine. No one ever called us back. I finally stopped by on my way to work one morning and was able to speak with a worker, one of the welders. His English was not good, but fortunately I speak Spanish and was able to convey a message--I wanted to double check that we were on the same page as to the design of the gates. I also left a message (written) with these instructions, along with my name and at least two numbers where I could be reached. I waited at least two days, but still no phone call. I finally asked my husband if he would check with Martinez since I was having no luck. He also had similiar experiences. The week of the 18th I left a message that if they were too busy, that we would like a refund and we'd find someone else to do the gates. My husband received a call that the gates would be ready and installed that Thursday. On Wednesday I decided to stop by the business to check on the gates to make sure the design was what I had requested. Lo and behold, the design was what I had requested but leaves had been placed at the end of each of the S's--definitely not what I had requested. Also, I was told that my design was too busy so they modified it--of course, I was never consulted. Long story short (sorry), the gates were finally installed that Friday (leaves and all). I do have to say that they are beautiful. I did emphasize both the Wednesday that I stopped at the shop and was able to speak to both Martinez Sr and Jr that my biggest complaint was their lack of communication. If they had just made a call and let me know of the modification and the issue with the time, that things would have run much smoother and we wouldn't have had to leave so many messages. Less grief for everyone. Although Martinez Ornamental has done work for us in the past, I would not use them again. Martinez Sr is a very pleasant man and really cares about the quality of their work, but their lack of professionalism created un-needed stress."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/az/tucson/ramon-m-wrought-iron-reviews-2180569.htm"},"position":4}]}
Welding reviews from real Angi homeowners in Tucson, AZ
Mr. Rojo's crew showed up on time, completed the work (including sealing all the new caps) and cleaned up everything so you'd never know work had been done. Then Mr. Rojo figured out a way to avoid purchasing a new gate to the utility patio (the old gate had just had three bolts that fell...

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.
The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.
There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:
Are you licensed and certified?
How long have you been in the welding business?
Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?
Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?
Do you charge by the hour or by the project?
How long do you expect my welding project to take?
What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?
You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.
Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don’t. However, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they’re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.
