"I didn't have any complaints and I will use them again for any concrete works. Free passes. Antonio, the owner was always on site, working as well and I appreciate that. They were professional. Very competitive work."
"In Las Vegas, this is a necessity. He did a beautiful job. He came out the the day after we called and the job was done within two days. The price actually ended up being lower than the original bid!"
"Our landscaping project manager Tom from Modern Landscaping suggested Artcon. They listened to what we wanted done and gave us what we consider a fair price. They showed up on time and completed the work on time and as promised. They were responsive to our calls and were always available to talk with us which was important as this was a second home. They were able to make some adjustments andi changes we requested with very little hassle. The stamped concrete is beautiful and the whole patio and walkway look fantastic. Overall we are happy with the results and the process and would use them again for future projects. "
"Peter arrived and noted I did not need a new door only had to cut 1/8 inch off the two doors and everything would work fine - he was able to do this in 2 hrs work - the door is better than the day I purchased it 10 years ago. While fixing the door he noted my kitchen solar screen attachment had been placed incorrectly and for not extra charge he fixed that too. - I found him very personal and professional - his company has a strong reputation for doing solid work I can now understand why. Highly recommend."
"They were polite, courteous and prompt. Very good work. Miguel Cortes (the owner) was very polite and helpful. 6 months ago my carpet was rippling, and I called him and he came and looked at it, sent someone to fix it and didn't charge me! I would definitely recommend them. Everything was very nicely done and everything has held up since they were last at my home."
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.
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.
Cutting round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.
