"I went online at 1:00 AM and got an immediate response from Branagan's Metal Works. I read the email and went to sleep. I texted Mr Branagan at about 12:30 PM and he said that he would be at my house to pick up the piece that I needed repaired. By 6:30 that evening Mr Branagan had the piece repaired and delivered back to me. This was an exceptional service. The piece looks brand new and works very well. I would recommend Branagan's Metal Works to anyone that needs any welding done. It was really a great experience, and I am very grateful for his exceptional work."

"Kevin replaced our front porch metal railings and added metal railings to the back porch. We are so very pleased with our new railings. Kevin impressed us at the initial consult visit. He listened carefully to what we wanted and thoroughly explained his work process and what to expect. Kevin took care to protect the exterior of our house during the job and cleaned up after each day. The railings are beautiful!! Impeccable work!! Please contact Kevin at Cardinal Metal Craft. We highly recommend this company if you are wanting to replace or add metal railings to your home or business."

"Mr. Sheppard is a very professional and methodical welder with a clean and organized shop. This is reflected in the high quality of his precision work. His welding equipment is modern and capable of executing jobs in TIG, MIG, and Stick welding in various metals at his shop or on site. This provides good flexibility to attend to simple jobs as well as the more complex ones like mine. He worked very well with me (I am a retired Mechanical Engineer) on a delicate project involving welds in a structural 316 stainless steel assembly subject to a corrosion environment. The quality and temperature management of his beads on 316 stainless using TIG speaks volumes of his ample experience and knowledge with this difficult metal. Communication was superb, and his willingness to work and deliver during the weekend was another plus to his service. His price was in line with internet estimates for this project. I highly recommend Mr. Sheppard for any welding job!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
