"We got multiple estimates for our small remodel job and Fisher construction was the only one who gave an honest price. In a valley when many customers are affluent a lot of construction companies are ripoff artists gouging the rich for all they can. Travis not only have us a realistic price but also a well written and concise plan that was detailed and we will planned. Despite our decision to do the job ourselves due to the size, I would highly recommend Fisher Construction for their honesty and clearly excellent work ethic. These folks are locals and it shows. Any work we have done in the future will be through them."

"Tim Johnston build new handrails for the concrete steps that had just been installed and listened to our concerns as we worked through the type of design we wanted. He tried to upgrade the handrail but that's what a good businessman SHOULD do. When we told him we wanted a simple design and to control costs he offered suggestions, which we accepted, that were entirely within these guidelines. His communications skills, quality of work, punctuality and willingness to work within established guidelines are excellent! I highly recommend Tim as he was a pleasure to work with."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

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.

There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:

  • Are you licensed and certified?

  • How long have you been in the welding business?

  • Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?

  • Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?

  • Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

  • How long do you expect my welding project to take?

  • What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?
