"Pictured is the before battery compartment. All rusted and hopeless. Josh invented a perfect plan to weld a tray to the two sides that were not rusted. Worked perfect. Even an RV place commented on the great job he did. What looked like a hopeless cause, turned into solid craftmanship. I Just hope he's available and doesn't get too busy.."
"Mike was very responsive and communicated along the way. He even squeezed in my project of fixing my railing. The quality of work was excellent and the price was fair. I would recommend Mike for any welding job."
"The communication from Diamond Cut Solutions was the best I've ever experienced from any contractor of any sort. Friendly, courteous, provided project updates and always on time. Excellent experience."
"Went pretty well, one of my sprinkler lines was hit during the install, but I knew that could be an issue going in. One of my gate latches was welded very poorly, but the company was pretty quick to fix it once I found the issue."
"Dan was punctual, professional and honest. He looked at the broken fence as well as the existing fence. The posts weren't cemented in so it turns out that we can fix the fence ourselves. Dan gave advice as to what wood to look for, sizes, how to do the project including how to reinforce my fence to prevent further problems as well as discussing the landscaping around the fence to avoid future problems. Thanks Dan for the great advice! I would definitely recommend this company! "

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 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
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
The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.
