In less than 24 for hours, he was out and assisting! Very friendly, and professional; did thorough work, and extremely reasonable! Passed his info along to other managers in my company for future use and will definitely use again! Thank you!"

"Nash Welding Service installed a metal handrail on the back patio and in the garage. From our initial phone call, until the project was completed, Russell's work and work habits was quite impressive. They came in and got the job done in a very timely and efficient manner. ! We would highly recommend Nash Welding Service."

"Pleased with the work in every way. Completed my handrails quickly even though it was a holiday. Kept me informed throughout and asked for no money up front. Easy to work with. Best known for his commercial work but acted like my little project was the most important work he had ever done. I will have Tom back when I begin my new deck in the Spring. Whether creating or repairing, if it involves welding, Tom is your man."

"John from Red Clay Welding came out and did a tremendous job at my home. He was on time, respectful and offered insight that instilled confidence in us to have him complete the repairs we needed. Our steel entry gate was damaged by a fallen tree, he was able to fix the damaged sections of the gate which saved us a pretty penny over buying a new gate which has to be custom made. He also had our gate fixed and reinstalled within 3 days of him coming to quote the job. Highly recommend this business!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective. 

Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation. 

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.

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
