"JDM is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with. They are my go to for all concrete works and I've used their services extensively. A 70'L x 12' tall 2'thick Keystone retaining wall with 2 bends, footings, a 100' sidewalk curb, 1200 sq feet of crushed stone leveling and ground prep. Thousands of sq feet of landscape grading. They've been been spot on every time. For example, the retaining wall, has both low point drainage and face drains, with stepped geogrid tiebacks. This is how a proper retaining wall is done. They even trimmed the geogrid fabric around the blocks 100% pro grade retaining wall. Get complimented on it by other contractors all the time. Footings were 2'round and 1'round dug 4' deep, well below frostline, positioned right on center for steel posts. Ironworker gave a "dang, these footings are dead nuts". The concrete walk had 2 vectors of fall, 2% linear fall and 1% lateral. There are relief scores every 6' and its edges properly shaped against chipping. Obviously mother nature doesn't play nice and poured concrete does its thing, so I bet I could bust out my micrometer and laser level and find some +-% somewhere, or some place where concrete leaked through forms. Its real life and poured material doesn't always obey. I read some bad reviews here and I must say, am surprised. If you communicate to Danelle and Melvin what you want done EXACTLY they will get it done to your speciifications as close as anyone I've worked with. Danelle shows up on time to do the estimates, bids are quick and fair, and the invoice has always been at or below bid. Melvin is a top tier foreman. Asks what you want before every job. He does exactly what you say, so some of the negative reviews could probably have been more thorough with their instructions. Specify depth, degree of fall, give them the architectural prints. You will get what you want. If you want precise results, give precise instructions, and JDM gives me the results I want every time, bar none. I'll build my retirement home on their concrete."

"I am very happy with the timeliness and quality of the work performed by STC Construction. After they were done with the new concrete slab for my garage addition, I asked them for a smaller additional job of spreading gravel to connect the new slab to my existing gravel driveway. They gave me a very reasonable price for that additional work and they came on a Sunday to complete that additional work. STC Construction went above and beyond my expectations, and I would certainly recommend them for any type of concrete work."

"Sebastian & Ableardo and crew were wonderful they were by far the most affordable. They gave me a bid to replace my old concrete patio and fix a crack sidewalk which I ended up having them replace another part of my sidewalk it became a bigger job then expected, when I had a question Sebastian got back to me right away. They had the job done in 2 1/2 days in this heat. I would highly recommend them my dad is going to call them I already passed there business cards out to some friends. Thank you Q&M LLC"

Concrete Cutting FAQs, answered by experts

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

Cutting round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.

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.

Welders use a variety of methods in their trade. Different types of welding are better suited for different purposes and contexts. For example, stick welding is a versatile form suitable for most metals and alloys. The most common types of welding include:

  • Stick welding: $100–$1,000

  • Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Gas welding: $150 and up

  • Forge welding: $15–$25 per hour

Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective. 

Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation.
