Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.

If you're choosing sheet metal for a home exterior or outdoor enclosure, stainless steel is the most popular option because of its durability, weather resistance, and affordability. At $8 to $19 per square foot, stainless steel falls in the middle of the range for sheet metal fabrication cost while offering some of the best performance.

Storing brass properly, cleaning it regularly, avoiding excess handling, and making sure to only use gentle, non-abrasive cleaning materials can all help extend the life of brass. Storing little-used brass items in airtight, water-tight containers will help prevent oxidation and water damage. For more frequently used items, try not to handle them frequently with bare hands, clean them when they begin showing signs of oxidation or tarnish, and avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners or tools.

Brass that is turning black is experiencing oxidation, a reaction caused by exposure to air. The oxygen found in air reacts with the metal and begins to cause discoloration that will become darker and more widespread with time. Regular cleaning will remove oxidation and prevent it from progressing on brass items.

The best tool for cutting metal ducts depends on the duct's shape and thickness. For round ducts, a duct cutter provides accurate, clean cuts. Reciprocating saws equipped with metal-cutting blades are versatile and suitable for both round and rectangular ducts. They offer speed and precision, especially for thicker metal. 

Tin snips are handy for intricate cuts or smaller ducts. However, an angle grinder with a metal-cutting wheel is powerful and efficient for large or thick metal ducts.
