I’ve been a certified welder for two years welding structural steel commercially. I went to trade school to become more knowledgeable in welding and am comfortable in both stick and MiG welding. I am a very versatile welder that is set up to be mobile or I can fabricate in my shop at home. I hope to meet all your needs.
"I only use James when I need some work done to my house. He responds fast, gets the work done quicker than just about anyone else I've ever used and seems very concerned with leaving his customers happy."
My background includes shipyard welding support at IMI, where I assisted with structural fabrication and repairs using SMAW, FCAW, and GMAW, as well as production fabrication work at GTI involving heavy steel components. I have also worked as a field welder, fabricating and repairing pipe fencing, gates, and structural components in demanding jobsite conditions. I am comfortable performing fit-up, plasma cutting, production welding, and repair work while maintaining quality and safety standards.\nI am reliable, safety-focused, and able to pass drug testing and weld testing. I work well in fast-paced industrial environments, take pride in my workmanship, and understand the importance of meeting production schedules and inspection requirements.\nI would welcome the opportunity to contribute my skills and work ethic to your team. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can be an asset to your operation.
"Aidan and his team were great to work with! He listened to my ideas and was patient with me while I decided on the design I wanted, never pushing me to hurry. He brought my ideas to life and was able to make suggestions on how to really make my gate a head turner. I will be using Aidan and his team for all my future needs."

Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.
Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.
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 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.
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.
