Q: How do I choose a metal fabricator?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s workshop.</p><p>Once you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut a shipping container apart?

• <div><p>Yes, but you&rsquo;ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around &frac34; inch thick, so it&rsquo;s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut up a box spring?

• <div><p>Yes, you can cut up a box spring., but you&rsquo;ll need to do so in layers. You can clear the fabric and fluff away to reveal the springs before removing them as well.</p></div>

Q: What household tool can cut a metal pipe?

• <div><p>Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you&rsquo;d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It&rsquo;s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you&rsquo;re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hire a metal fabrication professional?

• <div><p>Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.</p></div>

Called them out to inspect our fireplace. Upon arrival, Rod came in told us what was going on with our fireplace, and fixed it on the spot. We now have a working fireplace and it took less than two hours to complete all the work. Would hire them again
