"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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
