"Juan did a really nice job building a custom stainless steel backsplash to cover a gap on the wall after we bought a new stove. He polished it beautifully, installed it securely and also polished the old backsplash for a nearly seamless look. We are very happy with the outcome."

"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 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

After finding a local pro, you can inquire about steel fabricators' costs by sending details related to the dimensions, angles, and intended use. Most fabricators will use drafting software to bring your project to life before you settle on a price.

Common hardscaping materials include coated steel or iron, asphalt, stone, concrete, and brick. Coated steel or iron provide durability and style for fences and gates while asphalt is a wallet-friendly option for driveways. Stone brings timeless beauty to steps, patios, and walkways. Concrete pavers and slabs are cost-effective, though they require more upkeep than stone alternatives. For a classic, upscale look, brick works beautifully in walls, walkways, and patios. Each material brings its own charm, so pick what fits your budget, style, and functional needs.

Yes, metal fabricators work with clients to create custom sculptures, architectural features, or industrial components.

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.

The fastest and easiest way to remove small rust spots from metal is to combine lemon juice and baking soda or borax. You can mix them to make a thick paste, apply the paste to your rusted areas, let it sit for a half hour, and then gently scrub the spots with a bristle brush or old toothbrush. Finally, wipe the area clean with a lightly damp rag.
