"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!"

"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

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.

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

Welders use a variety of methods in their trade. Different types of welding are better suited for different purposes and contexts. For example, stick welding is a versatile form suitable for most metals and alloys. The most common types of welding include:

  • Stick welding: $100–$1,000

  • Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Gas welding: $150 and up

  • Forge welding: $15–$25 per hour

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.

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.
