"Came out to visit my son from Pennsylvania and noticed the loose front step railing at his new house. He told me someday he would fix it. But I told him it has to be fixed by Halloween for the safety of Trick or Treaters. Didn’t know who to call so contacted “Angi”. Magic Metal Ornamental Fabrication was the first and only service company to contact me. Was scheduled to come day before I was to return to my home in Pennsylvania but had phone call about breakdown of his truck on the parkway . He immediately rescheduled and came promptly on his scheduled appointment. He did a thorough job and couldn’t have been more pleased. Thank you!"

"Had an old fence that has been leaning for a while that I have been putting off for too long. Reached out to H&S to come out for an estimate. He responded fast and his quote was definitely within my budget! Let’s just say I love my new fence and couldn’t be happier with the work."

"West Country Enterprises were quick to respond to our request the very same day and provided a competitive bid. Work commenced the following day and was finished in a timely manner. They were delightful to work with and I would hire them again without hesitation. Our new fence is well-constructed and pleasing to the eye. Well done!"

Hello my name is Zack, I’m a local welder in Marin County, currently have 5 years of experience and knowledge. I have a passion for this field as I do work full time at a welding and fab shop, but would like to start doing some side jobs and help others out. I’m very reliable, honest, and keep my work areas clean. I can travel for work as long as it’s within 100 mile radius of Marin county.

Welding FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

Cutting round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.

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.

It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.

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?
