Customers say: Quick response

"I had two other folks that came by to view the work that I wanted done. It was a single section of iron pickets that needed to be replaced. Both of these folks wanted to talk me into doing the entire 40-50 feet of pickets. The price was in the several thousand dollars. It may have beenreasonable, or so I think, for the length of repair.. However, the only area that needed to be repaired was the one section. I mentioned to them that since the home is near the water, that I am sure that in time this will need to be addressed (perhaps 10-15 years). Irvined Ornamental came and quickly summed up what needed to be repaired and did not try to talk me into tearing down a perfectly suitable fence. it is refreshing that such folks still are around. It goes without saying, that they came the next day and repaired it. They brought their welding equipment and did a fantastic job at a fair price."

"I had old wrought iron fence panels replaced for some more modern looking fence panels to change the look of my home. The work was done in a timely manner and the fit and finish was spot on. The staff was responsive to my design ideas and the installation went smoothly. They were not the cheapest estimate, nor the highest price, but the quality of work is on par with many premium fabricators."

"James was exceptionally professional and polite and did an outstanding job on the rails that he installed in my house with both the backyard and the front. He’s a perfectionist and I will hire him and re-hire him over and over and recommend him over and over. Very humble and a very soulful human being. I give him 10 stars not five. Thank you, James for the wonderful professional job. :)"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

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.
