"Erik was very prompt in responding to my request for bids. He was able to start only days later. The handrail he built for my porch steps matched the existing porch railing and he attached it firmly to the stone steps. Prompt, quick turnaround, quality work, very pleasant to deal with. And did I mention about half the cost of the other bidders?"

"I rarely hire contractors and usually do every job around my place myself. I'm very particular about the quality of a job and have been burned by contractors before. I didn't have to worry about that with Master MCG Remodeling. Dylan is a hard worker and has attention to detail. He built a lean-to type of carport attached to the side of my garage. He did a great job, and the total amount came in under the estimated price even though I slightly changed the initial design. I'm very happy with his work. He showed up when he said he would, did a quality job I wanted under budget, and cleaned up after his self. I couldn't be happier with the results I got. I highly recommend him! Kelvin A."

"We are so happy we decided to go with EG welding to install our fence! We needed a 6ft privacy fence and loved the unique horizontal style fence they offered to install. We get so many compliments and we love that we have a beautiful strong fence that will last a really long time. The crew was great, they were always here when they said they would be, everyone was very professional. They have a lot of great connections and we were able to have all of our landscaping needs taken care of as well. We highly recommend using this company!"

"Erik and his team were excellent. They responded to conversations quickly, addressed the price clearly and stayed 100% true to quote, and installed a beautiful product. We were outspokenly flexible with timelines, so they were able to work at their own pace. It did take quite some time for install and a post-installation adjustment that was needed, but they were incredibly responsive and 100% willing to do exactly what was needed to help us remain satisfied with the work. HIGHLY recommend."

Welding questions, answered by experts

Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.

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.

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.

Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.
