"Dante provided outstanding customer service and was knowledgeable, patient and very professional. We really did not want to purchase another iron window, just needed custom made brackets and welded to the iron window. Dante did a great job. Overall my wife and I are very pleased with our experience with L.A. Iron Works. Thank you HomeAdvisor for recommending this company. Gus & Judith"

"Overall, I would give them excellent - A.  This was my Montebello house.  They were on time, they had a crew of about five or six people and so they tried to get that done as fast as they could.  When they finished every day, they cleaned up really nicely.  The other thing is, I guess the lead worker, the supervisor that was leading the group, he had me come up on the roof because what happened - one of the vent pipes from their patching up all the different holes and stuff - that vent pipe, when he was fixing the vent pipe that went all the way through the house, down to the bottom of the house, I guess it was between the studs.  So he asked me hey, does this go to the upstairs bathroom and I told him yes.  I said that's probably from way back when I put copper tubing in.  The copper tubing company probably just cut that vent pipe and put a new vent pipe in.  Most people probably wouldn't even tell me about it, they'd just let me go and just cover it up.  Then I answered him hey, that's why I got you guys - because you're not only on Angie's List but a bunch of other lists and they're always rated getting a super service award.  That's what I always look for.  He told me that their boss, the boss that runs the company, told them treat each house like you're working on your mother's house.  And so they let me know everything that's going on even though it may not be stuff that other vendors or companies just wouldn't even mention.  I can't even think of any improvement.  They've all been excellent; I have no complaints.  Give them A's on everything."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.

Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective. 

Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation. 

Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.
