"I have a 3 feet statue made of recycled parts of a motorcycle that fell down and broke apart. Nathan Schmitz, the owner of Burnt & Stitched Metalworks, responded immediately with an acceptable quote. They arrived on time and looked carefully at the statue that collapsed. They understood how to straighten it, balance it and weld the statue so it will stand straight on a rather narrow base. They work quickly in a very professional way and left the work area clean of every debris. A quality job, well done. I highly recommend this company and its owner Nathan for any metal work you might have."

"My infirm cousin was due to visit in a week, and would not be able to enter our home without the assistance of a railing on the front steps. I called Jeremy at Backbone Welding after reading the reviews here on Home Advisor. We needed a sturdy, durable railing quickly, but my husband and I had specific ideas about how we wanted it to look and function. Jeremy was not fazed in the least. He worked with us to design our railing and got it done with time to spare for a reasonable price. He is a good listener, a gifted problem-solver, really knows his trade, and is nice to boot. He was a pleasure, and we are looking forward to working with him again on an upcoming gate-rebuilding project."

"My gate and part of my fence were destroyed by the Marshall fire winds. I got quotes from several contractors, including how they would approach it so that even in future high winds it would be very sturdy. Luke's design idea was better than all the rest. He and his helper rebuilt it in a day and it is incredibly sturdy as well as aesthetically really nice. The price was a bit higher than other contractors, but the quality was superb."

Welding FAQs, answered by experts

Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.

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.

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.

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

Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.
