"

They have been working with us for the last three years and they are still doing more work. They put the bay window in last fall. They are not cheap. Their quality is very good. They are here earlier than I anticipate. The job they did on the storm doors was really good, but they are starting to rust a little bit and it is only a year. He looked at them and he is going to see what he can do with them.

"Kevin was pretty quick to get back to me when I first asked him to give me a quote.  He showed up soon after our first phone conversation and gave me a quote instantly on what it would cost for the project.  His quote was very reasonable, compared to two others I had received.  I awarded Kevin the job and he thought he could get to the job w/in 6 weeks, due to other jobs ahead of us.  We agreed to wait, as we weren't in a huge hurry.  6 weeks later, Kevin came out to start the job as promised.

Unfortunately the weather was brutally hot, so the job he figured would take him one day, took him two, due to the intense heat.  Very understandable and in the end, the new concrete stairs were poured correctly.  The only problem I had was that in our small parking lot, they had mixed concrete and spilled quite a bit on the blacktop.  To our surprise, they left the mess and never               cleaned it up. Plus they gave one of my neighbors, who I left the Condo Association's check with, a hard time concerning how much we were giving him.  On Angie's List, Kevin had a coupon that was good for 5% off, for work done by 10/15/2012.  We took the 5% off of the quote and gave him a check for the balance.  He was upset, as he claimed that the quote factored in the 5% discount already. 

No where on the quote did it say anything about a discount in the quote, so we feel that we gave him all that was due to him.  Although he argued with one of our unit owners about this, he ultimately took the check, despite still being upset.  I would recommend to Kevin that next time he does a quote, where he awards an Angie's List discount, I would make sure that the discounted portion of the bill is clearly identified, to eliminate any possible confusion.

Overall, we were happy w/ the job Kevin and his helper did.  Just not pleased with his poor clean-up and argument over the check we gave him. I would still use him again, considering the great job he did, for a reasonable price."

Welding questions, answered by experts

Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.

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.

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. 

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.

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
