"I had a couple of landscape folks take a look at the work I wanted and his pricing was in line and the finished product looked perfect. He is good with communication and everything he said he would do, he did it. Gary is a good guy, very personable, honest and he has gained my trust and I will be using him again."

"I had a specific portion of an aluminum car to be welded. I called five or six shops and got nowhere before I found Dalton. He was extremely communicative and did a great job and offered options all along the way. Highly recommend. You won’t go wrong with him."
"Alec was very professional you could tell heâ  s been in business for years fair price overall heâ  s a very talented worker really get your bang for your buck when you use this company. Itâ  s good to see a young man like this working so hard. Heâ  s the only person I call from now on for all my welding."
"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."
"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!!!"
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
To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.
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.
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.
