"Luis is an absolute Rock Star. Phoned him about a broken wrought iron gate. He came over in an hour and a half and fixed it on the spot for a very reasonable price. The work involved, cutting, welding and was done beautifully. The gate is like new. HIGHLY recommend. Had called another company with five star reviews on Yelp -- twice and they never returned my call. Luis is your guy!"

"It went excellent. They were prompt and performed everything to my liking. They brought me lots of different tile samples to choose from and there was no high pressure sales tactics. If there was something that I wanted changed they were quick to accommodate. They are the top roofer in the Antelope Valley."

"A friend recommended Nir (the contractor), after the house we just bought started to fall apart. Much of the house was just destroyed. Nir came in and said something like, I will fix your house and make it better than what you bought. And he did. He is professional and kind.
   Water line in one part of house had broken, due to high water pressure ( we had not yet moved in). Then a sewerage back up, due to improperly installing sewerage pipes. 4 in. plastic pipes with no valves, instead of 6 in. ABX. There was galvanized pipe directly attached to copper pipes, so also water leaks in the walls. And it goes on and on.
  Since so much had to be replaced, elected to also update some of the house.
   2 new bathrooms, which are beautifully done. Nir is so good at design, recommendations and what may look good. Made a powder room I would never have imagined and introduced me to Venetian Plaster/paint. 
 He got an electrician to replace 13 yr old electric panel that had already started sparking/going bad. That led to new recessed lights and fire/CO2 alarm system, new light fixtures and etc.
   Fixed all the walls, replaced wood floors and so on that Service Masters had had to pull up or remove. The wood floors are beautiful. His crew were really good.
   There is more, but now the house is great and so happy with the work done. It all took about a year +. I would highly recommend Nir, this company to rehab, update or redesign your house.
  The sewer line was done by another company. Whole sewerage system out to street had to be replaced. So yes also city permits and inspectors. By the way, the problem with sewerage system was easily visible if you looked.
  An aside:   Please hire your own home inspector who answers only to you, when buying property. Was a huge mistake in this case. Learned a very valuable lesson. Previous owners, did not do upkeep in at least 9 years. Had a good handyman to make it look good for sale."

Welding questions, answered by experts

The best thing to cut metal pipe is a durable pipe cutter that is made for metal. You may want to measure the diameter of the pipes before purchasing a pipe cutter to ensure it will be able to cut your metal pipes. Opt for a heavy-duty option to cut through metal like steel or cast iron.

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.

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

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.
