"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 I initially received a quote for that but had been interested for some time to turn an outdated bar set up into a full bathroom and frame a room next to it and then close it off with a door from the stairs. I ended up having the whole floor redone, repainted and relighted so that nothing resembled the outdated look that was there before.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 FAQs, answered by experts

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed 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.

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. 

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

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.
