"WROUGHT IRON REPAIRS I just had a two section portion of our fence repaired. Initially we thought it would need to be replaced as it was bowed and several of the welds had broken loose at the base of the vertical bars, and not to mention it's 31 years old. We fortunately found SO CAL STEEL WORK on YELP. The owner, Dylan Barnett, came within one day and easily repaired by cutting about an inch out of the top horizontal bar and rewelding the vertical bars at the base. He also repainted the affected areas. He has all his equipment mounted in the bed of his truck. This company is an asset to our neighborhoods. His info: Lic#1114968, @Socal_steelwork, [email protected] 949-456-3757, Dylan Barnett"

"Excellent. Luis kept in touch and arrived on time. He replaced the rusted pieces and welded new ones on the posts. Bolted the posts securely to the concrete steps. All the metal parts were painted white and look like new!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, you can cut up a box spring., but you’ll need to do so in layers. You can clear the fabric and fluff away to reveal the springs before removing them as well.

Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’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’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.
