"I suppose it was a fair price. I had some water damage from a bad pipe in our basement. I initially received a quote for that but had been interested for some time to turn an outdated bar set up into a full bathroom and frame a room next to it and then close it off with a door from the stairs. I ended up having the whole floor redone, repainted and relighted so that nothing resembled the outdated look that was there before. It took a few tries to find the right vanity and shower head. They got started within a week of me agreeing to give them a deposit to do the work. It was all very fast and they preferred getting my decisions for tile and floor board as they went along, but then were somewhat impatient about me getting back to them with an answer. The work felt very permanent and I was putting a lot of money so I just wanted it to be exactly what I wanted and nothing to be unhappy with so it was all very stressful, but in the end it did come out beautiful and everyone that has seen it has absolutely loved it. There were a couple issues with figuring out what was originally included and what wasn't, they had to take a partial banister out to close off the wall by the stairs but then didn't replace one, but when everything else was finished they came back and did so at no extra cost, same with some lighting issues and placement of the switches, they came up with a suitable solution. Overall as difficult as I was, they were accommodating and I would recommend and consider hiring them again."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Cutting round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.

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.
