Q: Do welders need to be licensed or certified?

• <div><p>Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don&rsquo;t. However, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they&rsquo;re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect custom metalwork costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on metal type, fabrication complexity, labor, finishing, and shipping or installation requirements.</p></div>

Q: Are beams and joists the same?

• <div><p>No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.</p></div>

Q: How much do different welding projects cost?

• <div><p>Some welding projects, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-repair-leaking-pipe.htm">repairing pipes</a> or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project. Some of the most common welding projects include:</p><ul><li><p>Metal furniture repair: $35&ndash;$100</p></li><li><p>Pipe repair: $200&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Small gates: $550&ndash;$750</p></li><li><p>Fencing: $1,200&ndash;$1,800</p></li><li><p>Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750&ndash;$2,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why are they called Lally columns?

• <div><p>Lally columns are named after their founder, John Lally, who owned a construction company in the 1800s. He invented the columns as a means of providing temporary support for beams and rafters in homes his company was renovating. The original Lally columns were also made of steel, although the inventory used a thicker gauge metal, which provided additional support for larger projects and long-term structural solutions.</p></div>

I met with several companies. HQ Welding was most informative, provided options and left the property clean. Antonio was easy to work with. I would definitely refer them.

Did a great job at a reasonable price. Worked fast and was flexible with the schedule as he dropped all gutters off weeks early so I could prime and paint before he came to actually weld and install them.

Very prompt. They showed up on time and were relatively efficient. The actual bill was higher than I had been told originally, but was still acceptable.

Extremely well. I am a retired welding inspector and they met my design and finish criteria. I was very impressed with the other work in their shop: many curves and complicated designs.

Called Greg after reviewing on Angie's List and seeing he was less than 10 miles away. He came within 45 minutes after our conversation and told me he could do the repairs right away. He really is a 'portable welder' because he had all the equipment in his van. He was pleasant and professional....
