"I live in a 55+ condo community. The metal platform holding 2 mailboxes was damaged by a delivery truck and the platform was cracked. Troy and his project manager were able to weld the platform back perfectly. Both gentleman were extremely professional, answered all my questions and did a great job. I highly recommend!

"He did very well. He came several times to measure the railing requirements, and designed/built the railing, that had to be customized, because the steps are not exactly level or always the same. not surprisingly not everything fitted immediately, but he fixed whatever needed to be fixed as soon as possible and was always very pleasant about it. It was clear for the very beginning that he wanted to please the customer and we truly appreciated that attitude. I enjoyed discussing with him what the best way to build the railing would be, and my wife and I are very satisfied with the finished product. If called we will be very glad to recommend him to whoever has a need for the services he provided."

"Mr. Donnie was prompt and very professional. I was unable to be present while job was being performed. He came to my house and performed the job excellently, even had to fabricate an extra piece due to inferior metal thickness. Would definitely recommend and plan to use his services again!"

"Duran did an outstanding job of sandblasting and powdercoating our 25 yr old front stair railings. They look brand new. The communication was excellent. They were prompt and professional and at a fair price. They followed up to be sure we were happy with their work. I would highly recommend them."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. 

The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use. 

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
