"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!"

"Arnie and team did a great job onour fencing project in Mill Valley. Arnie was very consultative throughout the whole process. The whole process was efficient, and completed the project with care and a high level of craftsmanship, and were not disruptive to us or our neighbors. We are very pleased with the value and aesthetics of the final product. Highly recommended!"

"Ram Irons called me the same day I requested a Pro metalworker. He came the next day and measured and gave me a fair price for a steel handrail on my front porch. I agreed and he returned to his shop and fabricated, returned and installed it the same day. I was impressed by his skills, quality of work and friendly demeaner. I would reccommend them to anyone who needs wrought iron help."

"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!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.

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.

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. 

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.
