Q: What is the strongest material for window screens?

• <div><p>Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they&rsquo;re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn&rsquo;t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.</p></div>

Q: How do you make stainless steel shine?

• <div><p>To restore an appliance&rsquo;s shine, clean the surfaces using a natural cleaning solution, and then use a mineral oil or olive oil and a soft microfiber rag to polish stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the graining. A little goes a long way, so dip the cloth in a small amount of oil. If you have any excess, continue with a dry part of the microfiber cloth to soak up any remnants.</p></div>

Q: How do various elements influence the cost of assembling a unit?

• <div><p>Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a welder and a metal fabricator?

• <div><p>Welding is the process of using extreme heat&mdash;and, sometimes, pressure&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common types of welding?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Stick welding: $100&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up</p></li><li><p>Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up</p></li><li><p>Gas welding: $150 and up</p></li><li><p>Forge welding: $15&ndash;$25 per hour</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

It went pretty well. The 2 employees were friendly, and worked efficiently. The only problem was an old stain surfaced that hadn't been previously visible. (It had something to do with the type of chemical used by the previous owners to clean.) I called and the workers came back and worked on...

There were no problems. The owner came twice to discuss the project, then the workmen came when he said they would and finished the job promptly. I did call about a missing threshold and was told it was being fabricated. It was installed a short time later.

Mr. Burtt was prompt in coming out to look over the project, and then prompt to do the work - the very next day. I had requested that the access panel be inconspicuous, and had to really look carefully to find it. Mr. Burtt did the work faster than he said he would, and even tidied up another...
