My name is Pete. I went to welding school in 2012, been welding since 2012. Just trying to get my own thing started and make a name for myself. I’m a hard worker and will do the job right the first time, and work till it’s done.

My main areas of expertise are carpentry and steel fabrication but I do little bit of everything involving general remodeling and construction.

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.

Costs depend on metal type, fabrication complexity, labor, finishing, and shipping or installation requirements.

If you don’t want to rely on paint to change the color of your stainless steel surface, there are a few other methods, but they require specialized equipment and skills. Some examples include powder coating, applying pigmented powder via an electrostatic gun, and electrostatic painting, which uses wet paints and has a less durable finish. The cost of powder coating is $40 to $600 per part, and electrostatic painting averages $60 per hour.

Steel doors are among the most affordable options for your front door. Steel doors are worth the cost if you’re looking for a budget-friendly door that maximizes home security and energy efficiency. Plus, they can last up to 100 years, making them a high-quality and long-term investment.

Most projects take 1-4 weeks, depending on material sourcing, design intricacy, and required finishing treatments like powder coating or galvanization.
