"Davis Welding Service was exceptional. I ordered a monogram family name sign and it turned out just how I pictured it. I was unable to pick it up so Davis Welding Service mailed it to me. This is a beautiful piece of art and I can’t wait to dispaly it in my new home. I highly recommend this business and I will purchase more items in the very near future."

"The task here was to repair the tailgate on my 1999 Suburban. The body rotted in the spot where the tailgate hinge on the passenger side of the vehicle is attached. The hinge itself is fine and the tailgate is fine. The problem was just the body. Brady cut out the rotted part of the body where the hinge attaches and welded in "L" channel to the body. He then welded the hinge to the "L" channel. You can see from the picture of the weld that his work is beautiful. One of the other pictures show the damaged body before the repair. And the last picture shows the drivers side hinge which is still in good condition and did not need repair. I highly recommend Brady!"

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.

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.

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.

Some welding projects, such as repairing pipes or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project. Some of the most common welding projects include:

  • Metal furniture repair: $35–$100

  • Pipe repair: $200–$1,000

  • Small gates: $550–$750

  • Fencing: $1,200–$1,800

  • Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750–$2,500

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
