"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."

"We hired Donnie to repair the welds on the folding legs of our ironing board which we've had for over 10 years. We took the ironing board to his shop and waited for it. Donnie was pleasant and informative about what needed to be done and then said, "not a problem; I can fix it." It only took him 15 minutes to complete the job. The ironing board is as good as new and we couldn't be more pleased. His price was very reasonable. We also learned that Donnie is a certified welder, having graduated from trade school. He is young, smart and courteous. We could not be more pleased and would definitely use him again for any other welding needs."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

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. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.

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.
