Q: How much does it cost to hire a metal fabrication professional?

• <div><p>Professional metal fabricators usually charge around <b>$70 per hour</b>. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live. </p></div>

Q: What materials are modern door hinges made of?

• <div><p>Steel hinges are among the most popular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-door-hinge-do-i-need.htm">types of door hinges</a>.

However, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they&rsquo;re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home.
