Customers say: True professional

"WOW, if I could give more stars I would. Gerard went above and beyond the call of duty. I had a small railing that needed to be build and installed on my front steps. I got a few calls from company's but one said the job was too small the other keep dragging his feet then he want more money to do the job than what he quoted me. I reposted the job a few weeks later. Gerard called me a few minutes after I posting for the job, I told him what the project was, he said "yes" he could do the job but explain to me he was finishing up another project and would call me next week. I sent Gerard some photo's and measurements, a couple of days later Gerard sent me drawings of the rail. Gerard said he would be able to do it in a few days. Gerard was very professional and keep me updated thought out the process, I would highly recommended Gerard for any fabrication project."

Small jobs welcome

Hello I have been ironworking for 13 years and been welding for 16 years(including the 13). 10 of those years i have been union. I have been working for big name companies such as Marr crane and rigging, Santini brothers iron works, E.D.M. construction, and tnt steel erectors. I have plenty of knowledge and plenty of skill to be able to work and get any job done. I worked on iron railings, fences, pipe, structural steel reinforcement, welding moments on steel beams. I can work within 100 miles from Boston. I will try to work with you if you are a bit out of my range. I think my company will be the best for you cause I will be the safest and quickest to complete any job and I will uphold those standards.

"We had a challenging project: converting a 200+ year old kitchen in a small footprint into an updated, classic yet high-end kitchen. The project involved carefully pulling up the original plank-floorboards, building a new ceiling, tiling the floor and fireplace hearth, installing custom cabinetry, appliances, lighting and re-routing plumbing and electricity, among other things. Sean's crew did a wonderful job from start to finish and kept their promise on timeline and cost. As with all projects, particularly old houses, a number of unforeseen issues came up and Sean's crew was able to solve all of the issues. We are ecstatic with how our kitchen came out. To top it all off, the Boston Globe's Magazine featured our kitchen in one of their issues. We give McCabe General Contracting our highest recommendation."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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?

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.

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

Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.

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.
