"This was my first time using Charles. I found him to be very professional and a pleasure to work with. He came out to my location on a Monday to take a look at a 23-step handrail job and give me an estimate. We shook on the price and he said he could be done in a week. Charles contacted me on that Wednesday to ask if he could install it that day. He finished 90% of the job that day and came back the next day to finish and paint. I had been dreading calling someone about the rail for years and Charles knocked it out in 3 days. I promptly paid the man and look forward to working with him on any metal-work job I may have in the future. Very solid dude. Call him."

"Working with Ace Mobile Welding was honestly shocking in the best way possible. They actually answered the phone, showed up when they said they would, and finished the job without disappearing for three business weeks. In construction terms, that’s basically a miracle. The quality of work was top tier. Everything was clean, solid, and done right the first time. You can tell these guys actually care about their craftsmanship instead of just hitting everything with spray paint and saying “she’ll hold.” The crew stayed professional, communicated clearly, and kept the work area organized the entire time. No chaos, no guessing games, and no one standing around pretending to look busy while holding a tape measure. Good people, honest work, and the kind of company you call again instead of warning your friends about. Definitely recommend Ace Mobile Welding to anyone who wants the job done right without the usual contractor headache."

"I had Mike fabricate a custom set of headers with a 3 inch exhaust for a Ford Hemi I put into a 69 Mustang. He also boxed the front cross member for easier access to the oil pan. I was so impressed with his attention to detail that I had him modify the fuel cell to accept AN 10 fittings to feed my 528 cubic inch hemi. I refer friends and family to Mike for fabrication projects on their street rods or race cars Thomas"TJ"Johnson..."

"They installed 10 feet of metal railing with nice decorations.  I got 10 different quotes. Some were from Home Advisor. These guys seemed to know what they where doing and their price was really reasonable, so I hired them. Right after the visit to my house, they sent me a quote and I approved it. They had how long it would take for the fabrication and welding time, and they included a schedule for installation. They did it right in the time they quoted. I was very pleased with the job. I would recommend this company to friends and family members.  I will definitely use them again in the future."

FAQs for welding projects in Owings, MD

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.

The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.

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?

You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.

Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don’t. However, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they’re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.
