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’s the difference between a lintel and a beam?

• <div><p>The difference between a lintel and a beam is what loads each is responsible for supporting. A lintel is a type of beam that is responsible only for supporting the load above an opening, such as a window or door, and transfers the weight to the side walls around an opening. A beam supports the slab and transfers the load to nearby columns, which then disperse the load to the ground.</p></div>

Q: How much do different welding projects cost?

• <div><p>Some welding projects, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-repair-leaking-pipe.htm">repairing pipes</a> 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:</p><ul><li><p>Metal furniture repair: $35&ndash;$100</p></li><li><p>Pipe repair: $200&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Small gates: $550&ndash;$750</p></li><li><p>Fencing: $1,200&ndash;$1,800</p></li><li><p>Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750&ndash;$2,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What factors affect custom metalwork costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on metal type, fabrication complexity, labor, finishing, and shipping or installation requirements.</p></div>

Q: Are beams and joists the same?

• <div><p>No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.</p></div>
