"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"

"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."

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
Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.
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
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.
To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.
