"5 Star Welding employee was very friendly and understanding of my request to install a handicap rail on both sides of the steps. The rail design looked better than I expected. Professional job! My 2-year-old grandson was able to pull himself up the steps with the handle provided on the first level. We were all so impressed with his workmanship."

"I was very pleased with the metal work that Yolex Richardson completed for me. He was very pleasant to deal with and extremely knowledgable about welding and metalwork. He returned my calls promptly and completed the work in a very timely fashion. I needed to have an iron trellis repaired that was supporting my porch roof and I am very satisfied with the excellent results. We had set a date for the projject to be done, and he followed through as promised. I believe he was honest in his assessment and gave me a fair price for the work completed. He also does other exterior work, i.e., replace or rebuild porch beds and tile work, and I plan to hire him for future projects. I definitely recommend his business to anyone who needs welding/ironwork done."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.

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

The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

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.
