"Mobile Fusion Welding fabricated and installed a steel handrail going down a set of stone steps and core bored holes in the concrete to install the railing. He made it to match an existing rail and painted the rail to match. Very good work at a reasonable price."

"A coworker needed some welding work done, and had a guy sent over. He came over while I was at his house and was able to see him in action cutting and welding a custom table frame. Very polite and professional, he worked diligently and skillfully until the job was done. Great quality work for an affordable cost. The next time I need any welding or torching work done, I have got his card. Preciate the educational evening, Mr. Devoss."

"Mr. Hightower and his crew did an excellent job grading our back yard after we had a whole section of trees removed. He even came back after the dirt dried to finish smoothing it out, so it would lay right. Super happy with the fair price, hard work, and attention to detail! I would definitely use them again and recommend them :)"

"Michael is very friendly and very knowledgeable. I was researching a few engineer firms for a foundation inspection and he called me after I put my info on Angi. His fee was right in line with (if not a little less than) the vast majority of other firms I was looking at. The kicker for me was that he was able to put me on his schedule very quickly which worked out great as I was in a big hurry to get this inspection completed. Communication was at times a little sparse/delayed (likely because he's keeping very busy) and that is the only reason I did not give it the full five stars. Would definitely recommend and hire Michael again."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.

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.

The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

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.
