My name is Dustin Moen, I have been a professional welder for the past 17 years. I started this business back in 2016. My history in “job shop” businesses has taught me valuable skills in custom fabrication and various types of welding including TIG and SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), and MIG. I have a background in machining, business management, and quality management. I ensure a quality product and building a great relationship with our customers. I'm offering a service that is a fraction of the cost found anywhere else, but with the matched quality that comes from the bigger guys.. Please give me a call, email, message on Facebook or Instagram, to setup a time to meet in person for any questions. I look forward to doing business with you! Dustin Moen

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

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

Regular cleaning, rust prevention treatments, and protective coatings extend lifespan and appearance.

To restore an appliance’s shine, clean the surfaces using a natural cleaning solution, and then use a mineral oil or olive oil and a soft microfiber rag to polish stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the graining. A little goes a long way, so dip the cloth in a small amount of oil. If you have any excess, continue with a dry part of the microfiber cloth to soak up any remnants.

Steel hinges are among the most popular types of door hinges. Most door hinges today are made from stainless steel because of its durability and rust resistance. Most steel door hinges sold are plated with small amounts of nickel or brass. Many older homes or custom builds may contain high-end brass door hinges that are also resistant to rusting and corrosion.

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.
