"I spoke with Jose Gomez who took careful notes on what we wanted. The final result was just what we asked for. He communicated well with us regarding when he would be able to install the railing, and then later confirmed the appointment. He was punctual. He installed two railings for us and painted them. One of the railings ran along an uneven wall, but Jose found a perfect way to work around that. Both railings look perfect!"

"At the onset, the level of effort to remove the hedge was underestimated time wise so it took a day more than at first thought however, the quality of the finished product is amazing. Both my neighbors and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. Secondly, the crew that installed (Foreman Johnny, workers Emilio and Duce) were pleasant, professional and about the most polite contractors both my neighbors and I had the pleasure of dealing with. Cost wise it was comparable and better than most quotes in most cases. If I EVER need a fence again I will go with Sonrise."

Welding questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.

Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.

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.

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. 

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.
