"Realigned front wrought-iron fence so that the gate door could open/close; welded broken welds along the fence. Great job, courteous and easy to work with, very professional and reasonably priced. Very satisfied with Tracy's (T&C) work and would hire again."

"I had my fence built by somone that was not a professional and did a bad job, so it had a lot of problems where the door was dragging on the floor, bad welding, bending, rust, etc. They reached out to me within 2 minutes of posting an ad. Arrived within an hour and a half to provide an estimate. Once we came to an agreement, he got started a couple of hours later. All the work was done later that day and the fence looks great. Excellent service, very professional, highly recommended!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.

It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.

Yes, you can cut plexiglass by hand using a sharp knife or blade (utility knife, box cutter, glass cutter, etc.).
