"The owner, Alex, is personable, and professional. He and his assistant came at the appointed time and day, and made the repairs needed. The cost was reasonable, and I'm very happy with my good as new, handsome railing, and the safety it affords us. Thank you Alex."

"Reliable and responsible, with a fair rate and experienced suggestions. My wife and I found ourselves in a bind with an unfinished project when our welder’s machine broke. We reached out to several companies via Angi, but Kevin’s Mobile Fabrication and Welding exceeded our expectations in every aspect of the project. We received a call from Kevin within a few minutes of placing a request for an estimate. The same week, he came and reviewed the project, walked us through the process, gladly answered additional questions and came to complete the project for us as promised. The impressive part was his strong work ethic, as well as completion of the project within a limited timeframe, and excellent quality work. We highly recommend Kevin’s Mobile Fabrication and Welding for your projects, and we will be using his services again in the future."

"Great company! Greg was terrific to work with; the job ran a little behind due to the powder coating company, but Greg spent his day off installing our railings. I've have already referred them to several people. My railings are beautiful! Thank you, Greg!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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. 

The best thing to cut metal pipe is a durable pipe cutter that is made for metal. You may want to measure the diameter of the pipes before purchasing a pipe cutter to ensure it will be able to cut your metal pipes. Opt for a heavy-duty option to cut through metal like steel or cast iron.

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. 

The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use. 

You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.

Yes, you can cut up a box spring., but you’ll need to do so in layers. You can clear the fabric and fluff away to reveal the springs before removing them as well.
