"Brendan was one of the best contractors I've ever hired, he was always on time for appointments, always answered the phone or returned calls promptly. His work was great and completed and his work ethic is very professional. We had to have fascia installed around my Mother's home (3,000 sq/ft) replace and install new columns (4 - 16" Columns), replace all gutters and replace rotten wood. He kept a photo journal of his daily work for us which I thought was very professional. We have more work for him in the near future and he will be the man doing it. Long story but it is not easy finding someone like this these days."

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. 

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

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

To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.

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?
