"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."
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.
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.
Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.
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
Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.
