"Kevin Bright of Melted Hoodie Fabrications did excellent work and a pleasure to deal with. I have an '01 Ford Explorer Sport Trac where the gas tank strap became loose because the frame bracket was corroded. Kevin quickly analyzed the cause and solution. He not only inspected the bracket but the entire truck frame. He was able to repair the bracket, and then clean the truck frame and applied an anti-corrosion coating. The work was performed quickly and effectively. I highly recommend Kevin for any of you auto or truck welding projects. Thanks Kevin. Larry Stanislow"

"Working with Ace Mobile Welding was honestly shocking in the best way possible. They actually answered the phone, showed up when they said they would, and finished the job without disappearing for three business weeks. In construction terms, that’s basically a miracle. The quality of work was top tier. Everything was clean, solid, and done right the first time. You can tell these guys actually care about their craftsmanship instead of just hitting everything with spray paint and saying “she’ll hold.” The crew stayed professional, communicated clearly, and kept the work area organized the entire time. No chaos, no guessing games, and no one standing around pretending to look busy while holding a tape measure. Good people, honest work, and the kind of company you call again instead of warning your friends about. Definitely recommend Ace Mobile Welding to anyone who wants the job done right without the usual contractor headache."

"Very knowledgeable, professional and efficient. I had a air bnb installed on my property and Jason completely separated the electric so the air bnb would be on its own service. He installed a split unit hvac system as well."

"See above.  Several weeks ago I had my air conditioning compressor replaced.  These people (Matt and Jess) are professional, friendly and do what they say they will, for a reasonable price, and the car is ready when they say it will be ready.  They are reliable and honest.  I left my old mechanic over two years ago (for overcharging me on a repair that wasn't needed) and having been doing the normal rounds of the chain tire stores for service since then.  This is an old fashioned neighborhood mechanic, with modern equipment, honest people, doing fine work for a good price.   I am delighted to have found them through Angie's list.  Just another example of why I use Angie's list for every new vendor I go to.

"Did not use coupon because type of work was not needed at the time. However, they were very prompt to contact me upon my purchase of the coupon. Their rep who came out to do estimates was courteous and knowledgeable about concrete and stucco repairs and chimney masonry."

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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
