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."

"We are extremely happy with the metal railings at our home. The workmanship is excellent, the railings are steady, beautifully finished, and exactly what we wanted. The team was professional. They completed the installation neatly and on time. The new railings have greatly improved both the appearance and safety of our home. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality custom metalwork."

Welding FAQs, answered by experts

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

You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding 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.

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

While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.
