Well I’m a very outgoing and enthusiastic individual. I have 13 years experience of industrial ironwork and welding services with a strong work ethic to get the job done properly with safety being of the highest importance. Going home to my family is the best part of my day.
"Heavy D's Welding LLC was a pleasure to do business with. The prices are very reasonable. The railing and gate Drandy designed is exactly what we asked for. We highly recommend Heavy D's LLC."
"Young Gun's was extremely prompt, reasonable, and did beautiful work on an indoor balcony railing for our mountain home. I highly recommend Young Gun's!"
"April has done several jobs for me - some small and some large. She did some pipe welding for and welded some frames for my truck. I would definitely use her again and have already recommended her."
"Had a patio glider sofa that was broken on one side that needed to be welded. Did a great job.
On the other side had a bar that needed repaired. Was able to drill through the leg and attached new screw.
Sofa looked great. Work was done at my house and left no mess.
Arrived on time. Was very professional and polite.
Would use this company again and will highly recommend ."
"I am the former President of our gated townhome community.. A vehicle ran into our heavy steel gate and bent it. It was not operating correctly because of being unbalanced and not shutting securely. These two young men were reliable and dependable and repaired our gate on the premise. The price was fair and we would definitely call on them again if needed. Experienced welders for sure!!!"
Some welding projects, such as repairing pipes or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project.
Some of the most common welding projects include:
Metal furniture repair: $35–$100
Pipe repair: $200–$1,000
Small gates: $550–$750
Fencing: $1,200–$1,800
Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750–$2,500
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.
Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.
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.
To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.
