"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 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

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.

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.

Most projects take 1-4 weeks, depending on material sourcing, design intricacy, and required finishing treatments like powder coating or galvanization.

Whether or not it’s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don’t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up—between just $300 and $1,000 for the best versions.

Steel hinges are among the most popular types of door hinges. Most door hinges today are made from stainless steel because of its durability and rust resistance. Most steel door hinges sold are plated with small amounts of nickel or brass. Many older homes or custom builds may contain high-end brass door hinges that are also resistant to rusting and corrosion.
