Acutech is Montana's most technologically advanced metalworking facility for structural steel, high tolerance machining, and precision cutting.

"I’m very disappointed with Acutech. I visited Acutech to inquire about a kitchen countertop support. I was going with a simple 1/4” steel plate 20” x 60”. I was given a quote for $350 with the explanation that the new tariffs just caused the prices to double. That sounded high but I felt they were being honest so I placed the order. The order was ready within a week. I installed the plate. A couple of weeks later I checked in to the price of that same piece of steel from a competitor to Acutech. I found that the steel was a available for $98. I feel that Acutech took advantage of my trust. It is ultimately my responsibility to have searched out multiple quotes for my project but I never dreamed someone would charge 3-1/2 times the price of this steel plate. I went back to Acutech and told them of my disappointment and all they could say is “I’m sorry you feel that way “. I would not recommend doing business with Acutech. If you do, definitely, get additional quotes. I’m not sure how a company can stay in business with such questionable business practices."

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.

Steel, aluminum, and wrought iron are common materials. Choose based on durability, style, and budget.

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.

Costs range from $500 to $10,000, depending on the type of metal, design complexity, and labor. Larger or more intricate projects require custom quotes.

The average roof requires about 17 metal sheets, but that varies according to house size and roof style. Each roofing sheet takes about five minutes to measure and cut, though this depends on your level of experience. If your roof has a steep slope, gables, and skylights, for example, it may require extra sheets to account for waste. Roofs with a steep slope over 3:12 typically require more sheets because the pitch adds extra inches. How much exactly you will need depends on the height versus the width of the roof. If you are unsure of the calculations, check with a local roofing professional.
