"Juan & team were super professional and easy to work with throughout my bathroom renovation. They were communicative, punctual, organized and kept their workspace tidy. Juan brought my vision to life and offered helpful advice when making decisions. I can tell he cares about the work he executes and excels at his craft. I’m very happy with the result and would recommend hiring Juan for large renovation projects!"

"Frank's construction was hired to replace our concrete patio with pavers. This was done expertly and efficiently. We are more than pleased with the outcome. In the process of doing their work it was noted that some additional masonry work was required and roof repair was also needed. Frank quoted us a reasonable price and completed The job in a superior manner,He and his crew were highly professional and each day the worksite was left, clean and without need for attention. We would hire Frank's for any type of construction at our home. They were outstanding and I give them an A+."

"They responded quickly to my initial inquiry, reviewed the problem from photos I sent and came back with a quote. I called to discuss it and they explained what went into their quote. As soon as the weather was good, they were here and repaired the gate. I would recommend them to others."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

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.

Some welding projects, such as repairing pipes or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project. Some of the most common welding projects include:

  • Metal furniture repair: $35–$100

  • Pipe repair: $200–$1,000

  • Small gates: $550–$750

  • Fencing: $1,200–$1,800

  • Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750–$2,500

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.
