"After we dug the holes he came and laid it out and made sure everything was squared and plum. When we were putting the building up, everything had to be perfect, I recommend him for small or big, he is excellent at what he does."
"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."
"High quality service they build and install a custom made staircase for my home and i am very happy, they also made a custom decoration cut on steel for my wall and was a gift to me for hiring them, highly recommended"
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
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
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.
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.
