"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 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."

"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..."

"From beginning to end Neal did a great job.
To speed the process I took photos of the area that I wanted work performed. I then emailed them to Neal with my approximate measurements and he took it from there. He came out to confirm my measurements and fabricated/installed a new railing. The work is solid and I would use him again.
Thanks!

Welding questions, answered by experts

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. 

Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.

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.

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?

Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective. 

Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation.
