"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."

"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."

"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."

"Juan is very professional and thorough with his work. He came out to assist me on Thanksgiving Day and designed and installed the railing one week later. I would definitely recommend him."

"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."

"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+."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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. 

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

Cutting round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.

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

Welders use a variety of methods in their trade. Different types of welding are better suited for different purposes and contexts. For example, stick welding is a versatile form suitable for most metals and alloys. The most common types of welding include:

  • Stick welding: $100–$1,000

  • Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Gas welding: $150 and up

  • Forge welding: $15–$25 per hour
