Q: Why do general contractors use subcontractors?

• <div><p>General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair sheet metal myself?

• <div><p>With the right tools, DIY sheet metal repair can be done for small, non-structural issues, but larger repairs usually require the involvement of an experienced technician.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate welding costs?

• <div><p>The average cost to hire a welder is about <b>$300</b>, with an average rate ranging from <b>$65 to $125 per hour,</b> depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between sheet metal fabrication and sheet metal stamping?

• <div><p>Also called metal pressing, metal stamping involves placing a metal sheet into a stamping press to create a desired shape using custom tooling. Ideal for mass production, stamping creates coining, embossing, and flanging effects when shaping metal. Meanwhile, sheet metal fabrication is a more cost-effective option ideal for one-off or low-volume projects because it doesn't require custom tooling.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to build a pizza oven?

• <div><p>Whether or not it&rsquo;s cheaper to build a pizza oven depends largely on what style you opt for and which tools and materials you already have. For example, having a surplus of leftover fire bricks from another DIY project will reduce the amount you need to build a new pizza oven and cut costs to boot. On the flip side, if you don&rsquo;t have any of the required materials, buying a pre-made option will be cheaper and require far less work to set up&mdash;between just <b>$300 and $1,000</b> for the best versions.</p></div>
