"They responded right away, came out to evaluate the damage the next day, and gave me a written estimate one day after that. They were relaxed, easy to communicate with, fair (as far as I know), experienced, and the job was finished today. I have no way of judging the cost. I have no insurance and the individual responsible for the damage had no insurance, so I had no choice and did not have the energy to compare bids. They did a nice job. They did exactly what I asked them to do. In other words, they did not pressure me into doing more than needed to be done. I am very happy with them."

"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. :)"

"Michael is very honest, hardworking and meticulous in his work. He is well versed in his field, which includes every area of construction. I have a home built in 1922 which needed a lot of work. Michael understands and appreciates the value and charm of older homes. He worked with me to restore what he could and repair what would be too costly to restore. He keeps to his word on when he will be there to do the work and does not change the amount he quotes unless I ask for a change."

Welding questions, answered by experts

Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.

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.

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.

It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.
