"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."
"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."
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.
Yes, you can cut plexiglass by hand using a sharp knife or blade (utility knife, box cutter, glass cutter, etc.).
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.
Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.
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
