"I hired Angel to rebuild the roof structure of my 12x15 metal patio gazebo, which was crushed in the freak snowstorm Oct. 2018 (I did not take the fabric canopy down in time for winter storage). It was a pretty tricky job, because the roof supports had to be recreated/welded up at the exact same angles as the original in order for the new canopy to fit properly. Angel came and took measurements and pre-fabbed most of it in his shop. He came back with his two sons, and they reinstalled the whole thing in a few hours, including priming/painting the raw steel tubing. I was just going to just knock the old structure down and buy a new one, but that would have been a major PITA, not to mention big bucks. (Replacement parts are not available and need to be fabricated from scratch) Anyway, I now have the whole thing back together and even better than new because Angel used a heavier, thicker gauge of steel tubing. Highly recommend Angel and his crew - fair price and excellent workmanship!"

"Balser Welding performed above and beyond our expectations. Their welds were solid, complete and looked beautiful and very precise as well. Some of the welds existed in hard to reach spaces, but the Balser team always found a way to get it done, with a great attitude while maintaining the budget. I highly recommend them. I've used 4 other welding/fabricating companies in the past, but all fell short in one regard or another. Balser is the one I'll use from now on."
"I got them through Angie's List and they were fine. I don't remember what they charged, but I remember thinking that it was ... it seemed to me a fair price for the amount of time that they spent. I didn't have any complaints about them. I'm gonna say the several times that we've used them was like an hour to two, no more. They also installed faucets and two different sinks and I would say that was about two years ago. I would say they were A overall. In general, I'm satisfied with them. I would say they did exactly what I wanted them to do, plus the amount of time spent on it was very reasonable. "
"These guys are great. Hire them hands down. Great price, great follow up, great job. They are on top of everything and are in constant contact, no need to keep after them because they keep after you. They do almost everything-Welding, woodwork, roof work, concrete and foundation work, everything but HVAC. I had them to a welding job, then hired them for a roof job, and will give them much work as a real estate developer and commercial property owner, these are some of the best contractors I have found."
This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes.
The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use.
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.
Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.
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.
You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.
