"Jesus and his team are great and very professional. Having never shopped for interior railings before, we quickly discovered it was not as easy as picking up something from Home Depot. We called a few places and prices were really high. Then we eventually found Jesus. Prices were great. He and his team were very responsive. They did a home visit to measure and show me an example of the material. Production was estimated three weeks, but ended up being shorter. The install involved welding and looked pretty complex. But they were in and out in less than a day. I would advise checking the height on your current rails to reference for the new railings. There are city codes to keep in mind, but it was helpful for us to share the height reference with them. I would definitely recommend this team if you need new rails."

"Mello Welding is terrific. I received a call back and a quick estimate. The work to cut out a rusty section of railing and weld a new section in place was professionally completed on time. I really appreciated how quickly they responded. Very satisfied."
"Luis is extremely talented and did a phenomenal job! I needed 3 iron gates repaired but he also added a beautiful decorative piece to my 10' glass, double-entry entry door! He was on time, friendly, knowledgable and his price was excellent! He fixed 3 of my gates: one fell off the hinge, another was rotting away and the last one he welded two sides together to operate as one and make it easier to open and close. Zeus Iron Works is a rare gem!"

Locally owned & operated. Hard Water is defined as water that contains dissolved minerals (usually but not limited to calcium and magnesium bicarbonate) expressed in grains per gallon. The lower the mineral content of the water, the “softer” the water (and the more corrosive); while higher mineral content means “harder” water. - See more at: http://www.onewatersystems.com/how-it-works/amp-force-technology/#sthash.0JZHCNxP.dpuf
To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.
It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.
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.
You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.
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
