"Willie was more than the professional we needed. As General Contractor's we often use these services to repair our wrought iron fences. Also, this contractor offers fabrication for metal and fence installation. We're continuing our relationship of services with this contractor for our properties large and small. Thanks Willie."

"Dave's work was excellent and he was very dependable and professional. All 8 posts on the exterior wrought iron railings of our front stoop were badly rusted. Dave did a beautiful job of removing both railings from the steps, cutting out the rusted posts, welding in new posts, and re-cementing the fixed railings back into the concrete steps. The railings look perfect. The price was very reasonable."

"The Jesherma Welding team are masters of welding, very professional, communicative, and kean on the details of a project. I wanted a combination fence to replace the existing chainlink fence. I wanted wrought iron for the front of my property and sheet metal fence for the side and rear of my property. They delivered and exceeded my expectations! They worked diligently to get the job done in a timely manner. Also, they kept the site clean and free of debris. Because of their skill and craftsmanship, the look of my home (and neighborhood block, for that matter) has been elevated! I have already received positive feedback from my neighbors. I will be using Pablo and the Jusherma team again for other projects and highly recommend them to anyone needing fencing, stair railings, or any other projects to improve your home or property. You will not be disappointed at all."

Welding questions, answered by experts

Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.

Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.

The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.
