As the business owner and primary laborer I am directly engaged in every aspect of projects. I believe there is a need for more environmentally responsible contractors capable of true quality work.

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.

To restore an appliance’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.

Professional metal fabricators usually charge around $70 per hour. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live.

Steel, aluminum, and galvanized metal prove popular due to their strength, adaptability, and longevity in variable climates.
