"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."
"We hired them to replace some wooden ballusters with iron. They were great to work with, very flexible on things and kept us informed along the way. Products they used were better than others that bid on the project. We would recommend them to others and use them again for future projects."
"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!"
"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! "

"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."
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.
To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.
It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.
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
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.
