This depends on where you are placing the iron railing. If you are installing a railing along a staircase, it would be a good time to conduct any necessary repair or maintenance jobs to the staircase itself. If you are throwing the railing up surrounding a deck or porch, deal with any persistent issues with said deck or porch. If you or a loved one needs a bit of extra help getting in and out of your house, this could also be a good time to install a disability ramp.

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

There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:

• Are you licensed and certified?

• How long have you been in the welding business?

• Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?

• Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?

• Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

• How long do you expect my welding project to take?

• What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?

If you feel like your gate hinge needs hinge oil, then a silicone spray can work well. Another option is using white lithium grease. Fencing experts recommend lubricating gate hinges annually to prevent problems with operation and corrosion. Depending on how large the gate hinge is, it’s possible you may need to apply the lubricant with a grease gun.
