Are hot water heaters good for scrap metal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How many metal sheets will I need?

• <div><p>The average roof requires about 17 metal sheets, but that varies according to house size and roof style. Each roofing sheet takes about five minutes to measure and cut, though this depends on your level of experience. If your roof has a steep slope, gables, and skylights, for example, it may require extra sheets to account for waste. Roofs with a steep slope over 3:12 typically require more sheets because the pitch adds extra inches. How much exactly you will need depends on the height versus the width of the roof. If you are unsure of the calculations, check with a local roofing professional.</p></div>

Q: Can metal stairs be designed for stylistic cohesion?

• <div><p>Yes, custom designs match existing structural and aesthetic themes.</p></div>

Q: How much does custom metal fabrication cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $500 to $10,000, depending on the type of metal, design complexity, and labor. Larger or more intricate projects require custom quotes.</p></div>

Q: How long does metal fabrication take?

• <div><p>Most projects take 1-4 weeks, depending on material sourcing, design intricacy, and required finishing treatments like powder coating or galvanization.</p></div>

I hired Mr. Kim to restore our gym equipment pads and benches. The quality of work was great and was completed as promised. I gave the value a 4star only because I felt the price was too high but so is everything else. We plan on using Mr. Kim again in the near future... Thank you, Mr. Kim

I'm more than pleased with the work he did. Paul was able to restore the interior and exterior of my wife's car to like-new. The price was on the high end but was well worth it. I plan to have Paul work on both of our cars at leas once a year to keep the paint in good shape.
