"Where do I begin? Windows leaked from improper installation. Delay after delay with promises to show up broken again & again. Paid him for the job and he never finished it. Had to hire someone else to complete my house. Walking up on his help urinating by the shed when there are facilities was unsightly but watching the owner show up to work in flip flops and shorts was the kicker. He only had 2 hours of work left to do and after a month he still didn?t show up to do it. Zero stars. Stay far far away. I wish he?d come get his ladder that he left, business must be slow. His defensive and argumentative attitude (after he gets paid) is probably due to the fact that he knows he did us wrong. She knows it too, it?s theft when you get paid and don?t follow through."

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

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

Welders use a variety of methods in their trade. Different types of welding are better suited for different purposes and contexts. For example, stick welding is a versatile form suitable for most metals and alloys. The most common types of welding include:

  • Stick welding: $100–$1,000

  • Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up

  • Gas welding: $150 and up

  • Forge welding: $15–$25 per hour

Professional metal fabricators usually charge around $70 per hour. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live.

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

Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.
