"James was exceptionally professional and polite and did an outstanding job on the rails that he installed in my house with both the backyard and the front. He’s a perfectionist and I will hire him and re-hire him over and over and recommend him over and over. Very humble and a very soulful human being. I give him 10 stars not five. Thank you, James for the wonderful professional job. :)"

"Michael is very honest, hardworking and meticulous in his work. He is well versed in his field, which includes every area of construction. I have a home built in 1922 which needed a lot of work. Michael understands and appreciates the value and charm of older homes. He worked with me to restore what he could and repair what would be too costly to restore. He keeps to his word on when he will be there to do the work and does not change the amount he quotes unless I ask for a change."

"Justo is the best!!! He came to my house and welded a piece of metal that I needed for my hydraulic log splitter; he did a wonderful job with a perfect bead on all sides. I am more than satisfied with the work he did he did; a wonderful job!!! Not only that but he also educated me on what needed to be done and what was being done. He is extremely polite he was on time and his prices were very fair. I would not hesitate to hire him again. If you need a good professional welder and somebody that shows up on time and is very graceful please hire him he will do a good job for you as he did for me... I can verify that for sure."

Welding FAQs, answered by experts

While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.

To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. 

The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use. 

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.
