"I live in Ohio and thru Angi searched for a contractor to replace a window in a modular home in Tennessee. My sister lives in the home. The contractor Fendernation contacted me. He contacted me and said he could do the job. I paid him 500.00 thru Zelle . The money was sent to Teresa Hall 352-461-7544. He said she was working with him. I drove to Tennessee and was there when he come to the house. I told him I not only wanted the one broken window replaced but both windows (which are side by side) so it looked the same. Also I asked if he could replace the front door and he said he could. At this point I wrote him a check for 300.00. (Balance due on Invoice 466683. He took out the broken window and went to get the doors (entry and storm door). He then said he couldn’t get the window and could close up the hole or get a different size window in. I did not want that. The doors he bought were standard size and opened the wrong way. He said he thought he picked up the wrong order at Lowe’s and would exchange. Then he told me he could order the door but it would be 3 weeks. Then he said that size was not available. He again said he could make to standard door fit, I did not want that. I searched around and found a Rv and Mobile home dealership that had the correct windows and door and decided to go with them. At this point I told him I was going with the other company and would like a refund. He understood and said he would start the refund process. The invoice showed the cost of the doors as 178.00 and 414.00 totaling 592.00. He advised that taking out the window would be 120.00. 592.00 less 120.00. I would like a refund or 472.00. I’ve paid him 800.00. I believe asking for 472.00 is more than fair. He will have made a total of 328.00 and didn’t complete the job."

FAQs for welding projects in Smithland, KY

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.

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.

There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:

  • Are you licensed and certified?

  • How long have you been in the welding business?

  • Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?

  • Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?

  • Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

  • How long do you expect my welding project to take?

  • What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?

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.

Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don’t. However, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they’re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.
