"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

The best tool for cutting metal ducts depends on the duct's shape and thickness. For round ducts, a duct cutter provides accurate, clean cuts. Reciprocating saws equipped with metal-cutting blades are versatile and suitable for both round and rectangular ducts. They offer speed and precision, especially for thicker metal. 

Tin snips are handy for intricate cuts or smaller ducts. However, an angle grinder with a metal-cutting wheel is powerful and efficient for large or thick metal ducts. 

A few materials are most commonly used when it comes to building a frame for an outdoor kitchen: wood, steel, and concrete or brick. While there’s no best option overall, each material is better suited to different needs. Concrete and brick are typically more customizable than other options, but aren’t as resistant to inclement weather as steel. Wood is the most affordable pick, but it is more susceptible to rot, mildew, and heat than the others.

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.

Steel doors are among the most affordable options for your front door. Steel doors are worth the cost if you’re looking for a budget-friendly door that maximizes home security and energy efficiency. Plus, they can last up to 100 years, making them a high-quality and long-term investment.

Steel, aluminum, and galvanized metal prove popular due to their strength, adaptability, and longevity in variable climates.
