"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"

"They did a great job and was well worth the money. Got exactly what I asked for when he came out to do my estimate. Definitely gonna give them a call back should I ever need another asphalt repair."
"I received a call from the Best of Baldwin immediately after posting. That is why a gave them 4 stars. I ended up having to cancel the job and I notified them right away. I can’t certify their work however if you have someone who responds so quickly that should mean something. Thanks Michael!"
"Fast and professional crew! Came out on time, cleared several acres of land for me and made it look great! Property was clear of any debris when they left. They also graded the area nicely so it wouldn’t wash out. Trees and brush were hauled away quickly by them and they worked around what I wanted done. Would hire again."
The best thing to cut metal pipe is a durable pipe cutter that is made for metal. You may want to measure the diameter of the pipes before purchasing a pipe cutter to ensure it will be able to cut your metal pipes. Opt for a heavy-duty option to cut through metal like steel or cast iron.
To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.
Some welding projects, such as repairing pipes or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project.
Some of the most common welding projects include:
Metal furniture repair: $35–$100
Pipe repair: $200–$1,000
Small gates: $550–$750
Fencing: $1,200–$1,800
Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750–$2,500
This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes.
The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use.
The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.
