"I recently had the pleasure of working with PJJ Welding and Fabrication on a project to build a custom metal gate for my home. I had a very specific design in mind, and I was worried that I would not be able to find a company that could meet my needs. However, PJJ Welding and Fabrication was able to take my vision and turn it into a reality. The owners, Paul and Jake, were very knowledgeable and professional. They worked with me to create a design that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The work was done quickly and efficiently, and I am very happy with the results. The gate is a beautiful addition to my home, and I know that it will last for many years to come. I would highly recommend PJJ Welding and Fabrication to anyone who needs metal fabricating work done. They are a reliable and trustworthy company, and they do excellent work."

"We hired Reynolds Fence Co. to remove an old, wood and wire section of fencing and replace it with chain link to match the rest of our fencing. We also had them rework a gate. They arrived on time, kept us informed, and completed the job promptly. We are very happy with the quality of work and would not hesitate to hire them again."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
