I am a hardworking young man who is dedicated to my craftsmanship. I have been fabricating and welding since I was 15 years old. In my time welding it has taken me to the tops of water towers and as deep as coal mines. I have also worked in various power plants as a welder. Looking to start my own business and help out the people in need.
"The work done was a renovation of a bathroom which included tear out of existing vanity, repairing walls behind both toilet and vanity, extensive repairs to subfloor, installation of luxury vinyl floor installation of new stand-a-lone vanity with undermount sink, painting the room including ceiling, doors and two different wall colors, replacement of light fixture and light switches and removal of old mirror and replacement with new. Excellent quality of work and attention to detail. Tracy Barbour was a pleasure to work with. Both employees "WORKED" from the moment they arrived until they left. When they took a break it was no more than 5 minutes. I appreciated that both worked in a professional manner and they did not get upset and yell or use bad language when they ran into problems. Workers seemed knowledgable. Work estimate was given with a caveat that additional work not in quote would likely be needed once current flooring was removed. Indeed there has water damage and most of bathroom subfloor had to be replaced. Tracy Barbour kept me informed of the additional work that would be required as it was encountered. I also requested changes to original work after it began. I knew that these additions would add up but I failed to get revised estimates as the new items were identified. The final cost was about 10% more than I had budgeted. The overall cost was reasonable. Note to myself: Always get updated estimates as additional work is identified. I would recommend Barbour Remodeling for bath renovations and I am sure they would be competent in other types of work."
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.
Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people.

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
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.
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.
