"I recently had the pleasure of working with Just Stamping Concrete for a landscape design project, and I cannot recommend them enough! They are a true gem in the industry, and their work speaks for itself."
"They did an awesome job. All my concrete work for building my house was done by them. From foundation, patios, and driveways, they will get the job done"
"Mega Power was great! I hired them to go solar on my house and the solar analyst that came out was very helpful from day one. He was not just simply a sales guy he gave me his personal cell phone that I was able to call anytime if I had questions or wanted updates about my project. My project was about 6 kW and consisted of 22 panels, each panel was 275 Watts. What I loved about these guys is that all the products they installed were American made products, warrantied for 25 years! Working with Jonathan (our sales guy) was another reason I chose to go with Mega Power. Every step of the way Jonathan was informative, and just professional from day 1. Price quotes with other companies were similar, so I simply chose the company that provided me the best service before signing anything."
"Golden Valley Concrete, led by Jose, delivered a solid and well-executed concrete job on my driveway. His attention to detail and commitment to quality work were evident throughout the process. I appreciate the straightforward approach and the excellent outcome of his efforts. Highly recommend his services for a reliable and skillful job."
"Very professional, easy to get along with. Brisio Garcia (owner) and his employee start their day early and on time. Brisio never asked for any money upfront and on the third day we insisted that he take a partial payment as he was incurring many expenses for tractor, rebar, concrete, etc. Brisio was very helpful in design and color selection. We weren't sure about the stamping and color so he sent us down the street to another job of his that he had recently finished. This helped to visualize the color and pattern. He also provided us with a color chart to help with the selection. At the end of every day they would sweep, hose down, and clean up the entire area. Their tools and equipment were always organized and put away at the end of the day. Never had a big mess to stare at. Would definitely hire again for any future job."
"The workers and the work were great. Working with the company itself had some problems. They scheduled a project start date and then cancelled that morning. The estimator was good and I had a good relationship. At the end of the project wanted to add something so called him only to find out he didn't work there anymore. Very strange. But as I said the work was excellent and what I wanted."
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.
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.
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
Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.
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.
