"Highly Recommend Optimiz3 – They Truly Optimize Your Ideas! After getting quotes from several teams for my fence project, I ultimately chose Optimiz3 – and I’m so glad I did. Jordan was incredibly easy to communicate with, and his professionalism stood out from other company. He not only took the time to understand my specific project needs, but he also helped me think through the bigger picture, offering valuable advice for future improvements. The team’s professionalism was evident throughout the entire 50-foot fence project. They arrived with top-notch tools and even took the time to help clean up my yard before starting, which was a thoughtful touch given how messy it was. They worked diligently, double-checked their work. All of my questions and concerns were addressed promptly and thoroughly. If you're looking for a company that goes the extra mile to ensure high-quality results, choose Optimiz3. They’ll optimize your project and exceed your expectations!"

"The company founder, Ariel, came by to plan the job first -- installation of 4 beautiful outdoor hand railings -- then brought his small work crew and supervised them until he was sure they were on track, and finally came back to review and approve the job, which was first rate. The hand railings were expertly attached to the concrete steps via reinforced anchor bolts, which makes them all feel rock-solid. I am so glad I contracted with the best for this job, as my partner's safety negotiating the outdoor steps depends upon it!"

I specialize in making custom products for your home, repairing furniture, refurbishing, and general home maintenance. I can create a custom steel sculpture, to a new kitchen table, or a fence for your front yard. I studied art with a focus in sculpture, so I am more than willing to sit down and come up with a design for whatever you can think of and go from there. Everything from the design, to the build, to the installation, will be done with great care and attention to detail. While being in close communication with the customer about every choice that is made. I am a recent college graduate looking to start my business and make a name for myself, so if you want something unique and hand crafted, or you want a repair that will look as though it was never broken, contact me and I would love to work with you.

I am a 6 year welder. I offer mobile welding and fabrication services. I regularly do gates and railings, trailer repair, and custom fabrication projects. I am very proud of the work I do. I am also a Marine Corps veteran

"QUALITY WORK. Kai and Team were on time, and stayed ahead of planned schedule. Most post holes get two bags concrete..on the important corner post he dug it very deep and put three. Always used levels and stringers. Never guessed. Measured again and again. Also had a custom gate built to on-site specifications. Really great work. Plus Kai and Team are adaptable and capable. Fencing, tree cutting, metal work, gates, and more. FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Regular cleaning, rust prevention treatments, and protective coatings extend lifespan and appearance.

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.

Professionals ensure durability by selecting high-quality materials, precise fabrication, and proper finishing techniques. They perform meticulous installation and provide maintenance advice to extend the lifespan of metal installations.

Costs depend on material type, design complexity, and additional features like handrails or lighting.

If you don’t want to rely on paint to change the color of your stainless steel surface, there are a few other methods, but they require specialized equipment and skills. Some examples include powder coating, applying pigmented powder via an electrostatic gun, and electrostatic painting, which uses wet paints and has a less durable finish. The cost of powder coating is $40 to $600 per part, and electrostatic painting averages $60 per hour.
