"• The coupler on the trailer was bent. • The trailer itself was in good condition. • The owner called Alex Ortega for assistance. • Alex reviewed the situation and I purchased a new coupler from Harbor Freight. • Alex spent six hours welding the new coupler onto the trailer. • The job was done very well, and the owner was very pleased. • The owner recommends Alex Ortega for any welding jobs. • The owner uses the trailer to transport their trike and move items from stores. • The owner notes that paying for delivery from stores can add up, making a trailer a worthwhile investment."

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."

"Ben came with his team and they have done all necessary steps to repair the gate (cutting an opening in the concrete wall, reinstalling the gate and fixing it to the wall). They also done some additional small fixes. I am very impressed with Ben s skills and attitude. I highly recommend Ben s Ornamental Iron Craft."

Welding questions, answered by experts

There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:

  • Are you licensed and certified?

  • How long have you been in the welding business?

  • Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?

  • Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?

  • Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

  • How long do you expect my welding project to take?

  • What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?

The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

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’s workshop.

Once you’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.

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. 

The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use. 

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.
