What is metal roof gauging?

• <div><p>When choosing a metal roof, consider not only the area of the roof but also the thickness of the panel, known as the gauge. Common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roofing-gauges.htm">roofing gauge sizes</a> for metal roofs are 24-gauge and 26-gauge. The smaller the gauge size, the thicker the roof. Usually, a thicker gauge is ideal if your house is in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or hail, as it will be less likely to dent.</p></div>

Q: How much do different welding projects cost?

• <div><p>Some welding projects, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-repair-leaking-pipe.htm">repairing pipes</a> or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project. Some of the most common welding projects include:</p><ul><li><p>Metal furniture repair: $35&ndash;$100</p></li><li><p>Pipe repair: $200&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Small gates: $550&ndash;$750</p></li><li><p>Fencing: $1,200&ndash;$1,800</p></li><li><p>Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750&ndash;$2,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How is sheet metal repair professionally conducted?

• <div><p>Professionally, sheet metal repair involves assessing the damage, cutting and shaping patches, and securing them with welding, riveting, or adhesive methods, depending on the required finish.</p></div>

Q: What materials are commonly used in sheet metal repairs?

• <div><p>Common materials used include aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper, each selected for their properties suited to specific repair needs.</p></div>

Q: How do you make stainless steel shine?

• <div><p>To restore an appliance&rsquo;s shine, clean the surfaces using a natural cleaning solution, and then use a mineral oil or olive oil and a soft microfiber rag to polish stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the graining. A little goes a long way, so dip the cloth in a small amount of oil. If you have any excess, continue with a dry part of the microfiber cloth to soak up any remnants.</p></div>

Working with A Plus has been a relieving experience. Getting a new roof can be an overwhelming process, and Ivan, along with the rest of the A Plus team, were very professional, transparent, and helpful through the entire process. 100% recommend!

Excellent. Deleon Enterprises met me at their shop and showed me several screen door options, came out to our home, measured our odd off-specification door opening, fabricated the screen door at their shop adding our old pet grill, and installed the door on site, all in one day.

While repairing trash compactor switch, I asked him to look at my garbage disposal to see if it needed to be replaced or could be fixed as it was jammed. He had it apart in seconds and took it outside, was able to remove metal stuck in blades and fixed it at a very minimal charge.
