Q: How do you calculate welding costs?

• <div><p>The average cost to hire a welder is about <b>$300</b>, with an average rate ranging from <b>$65 to $125 per hour,</b> depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you&rsquo;ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you&rsquo;re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.</p></div>

Q: What are the most common types of welding?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Stick welding: $100&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding: $250 and up</p></li><li><p>Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding: $250 and up</p></li><li><p>Gas welding: $150 and up</p></li><li><p>Forge welding: $15&ndash;$25 per hour</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do welders need to be licensed or certified?

• <div><p>Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don&rsquo;t. 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. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.</p></div>

Q: What materials are commonly used in the construction of metal carports?

• <div><p>Steel, aluminum, and galvanized metal prove popular due to their strength, adaptability, and longevity in variable climates.</p></div>

Q: How can you extend the life of brass?

• <div><p>Storing brass properly, cleaning it regularly, avoiding excess handling, and making sure to only use gentle, non-abrasive cleaning materials can all help extend the life of brass. Storing little-used brass items in airtight, water-tight containers will help prevent oxidation and water damage. For more frequently used items, try not to handle them frequently with bare hands, clean them when they begin showing signs of oxidation or tarnish, and avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners or tools.</p></div>

Workmanship was very good with only one flaw discovered after the installers departed. Work is not complete at this time since we are waiting for the stucco to be painted and the metal guards to be reinstalled.

They did the work a lot sooner than I expected and at first I thought it was great but after a week and looking at the quality I'm extremely disappointed. The concrete patio extension looks terrible and is uneven and crumbling around the edges. I don't think they actually put any rock at all...

I was very pleased with all aspects of this experience. It's always helpful to know as much about what you need done before the estimate as possible. In my case, the old shingles had been blowing off the roof for a while, so I was pretty sure I would have to have the whole roof replaced. Also,...
