"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."
"We were very happy with our service. The first crew came on the day stated to install the posts. Less than a week later the fencing crew came to finish up. They were very friendly and easy to ask questions of. They took great care in what they did. We had to have our gates custom welded because of the slope in our yard and this was completed a day or so later. We get so many people in the neighborhood stopping to compliment us on our fence!"
"Project went completely as planned and the fence looks great. I was tearing out an old fence and matching my neighbor's side fence on the other two sides and the final product is a very good match. Easy process and very happy with the end result."

"Overall we were satisfied with the quality of the job but we did run into some issues. Sam said it would take 2 days to complete but it ended up taking 6 full days. Unfortunately I had to use a lot more vacation to be home for this than I anticipated. We ran into some issues with the sub-contractors. One guy got nothing done the day he was there and then never showed up the next day. To Sam's credit, he called in another framer and the work was started as soon as possible. The quality was decent but we ended up having to fix some spots ourselves and add some extra framing to make the areas aesthetically pleasing. The crew members were all polite and cleaned up after themselves, which I always appreciate. Sam is very easy to work with and very professional. He takes his business seriously and has high expectations of his crew. Despite the issues we encountered we were still happy with the work and the price."
While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.
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
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.
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.
Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.
