"They responded right away, came out to evaluate the damage the next day, and gave me a written estimate one day after that. They were relaxed, easy to communicate with, fair (as far as I know), experienced, and the job was finished today. I have no way of judging the cost. I have no insurance and the individual responsible for the damage had no insurance, so I had no choice and did not have the energy to compare bids. They did a nice job. They did exactly what I asked them to do. In other words, they did not pressure me into doing more than needed to be done. I am very happy with them."

"The estimate and price to do the job went well. They had three men to install the fence over two and a half days. They knew what they were doing , however, I had to inspect each board and made them replace 12 panels due to cracks or knots that were falling apart. The wood they used had knots, multiple colors including a pale wood color and clumps of sawdust on some pieces. I would recommend that the owner have actual pieces of wood to show you the different qualities available. Had I been given a choice by seeing actual samples, I would have chosen a higher quality of wood. I now have to pay another vendor to clean up the sawdust and add a coat of sealant to protect the wood long term from rain and watering and to help the fence look a bit more finished than just raw wood."

"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."

"Detailed estimate that was accurate- even added a few pavers and brick work at no additional cost. Hard workers. Great communication with my project manager, Owen. Felt as if they didnâ t want to just do my job, but do my job well! 5 stars, 10/10, highly recommend!"

"Dante provided outstanding customer service and was knowledgeable, patient and very professional. We really did not want to purchase another iron window, just needed custom made brackets and welded to the iron window. Dante did a great job. Overall my wife and I are very pleased with our experience with L.A. Iron Works. Thank you HomeAdvisor for recommending this company. Gus & Judith"

"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."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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, 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.

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.

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.

The best thing to cut metal pipe is a durable pipe cutter that is made for metal. You may want to measure the diameter of the pipes before purchasing a pipe cutter to ensure it will be able to cut your metal pipes. Opt for a heavy-duty option to cut through metal like steel or cast iron.
