"Allens welding has definitely earned my future work i had custom dog kennels, privacy fence. Never once did i have to ask or call for an eta. All ways on time or earlier. Very knowledgeable and helpful with ideas to make your life easier i told him what i wanted and if there was an easier way or a simpler way he tackled it. I pretty much left him and his work hand alone to build and make it work im very very impressed with his skills and communication with me"
"They showed up when they said they would. Immediately went to work. Fixed all my projects just a bit longer than their time estimate, but faster than I thought it would be done. Cleaned up after themselves. Were pleasant and respectful. Told me when they thought there might be problems and why before they started on one of the project. They were very careful and the problem didn't materialize."

"Great service, really helpful, I needed support for a heavy gate I was making to keep my dogs on one side of yard and he explained to me why what I was thinking wasn’t the proper way and told me the right way it should be done and why. It came out perfectly ! Mark was very professional, he showed up when he said and was quick. I was very impressed and will defiantly use him again for sure. Oh and the best part was, my car wouldn’t start when he was here working and he he came and looked at real quick and told me what was wrong and got it started for me just like that, and was I appreciative of that! Highly recommend, the gate works great and look great as well"
"Michael repaired a fence section that was blown down by 65 mph Albuquerque winds recently. I had sent him pictures of the fence & metal fasteners & eroded stucco so he was ready to get to work the moment he arrived with no direction needed. He even patched up the stucco & brought extra brackets so the section is more secure than ever. He even painted the brackets to match. He had the job done in less than two hours & the cost was affordable. I would not hesitate to hire him again. He is mindful, respectful, efficient. A+ professional."
"Juan does really high-end work, and his communication is great. He talks to you through the whole process,and has quick turn around to give you a visual of the design that you want. He is open to changes as well. I went through a couple of other companies for welding before, and Juan had great pricing right off the bat for better quality work. He and his team are great. They are very professional and clean."
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.
The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it.
Some of the most common metals used by welders include:
Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound
Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound
Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound
Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound
Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound
Titanium: $60–$85 per pound
While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.
The best thing to cut metal pipe is a durable pipe cutter that is made for metal. You may want to measure the diameter of the pipes before purchasing a pipe cutter to ensure it will be able to cut your metal pipes. Opt for a heavy-duty option to cut through metal like steel or cast iron.
