"We live in an old farmhouse that had an outside rusted fireplace trap door. We called several welding companies and no one wanted to accept the job. We finally contacted Outlaw Welding Services. Nick, the owner, came to our home and offered a solution. My husband spent a lot of time watching Nick work. His conclusion, Nick was a genius. He welded it into something that looked brand new while still keeping the character of the old trap door. Nick answered our calls, was polite, was on time, cleaned up the job site after each day and his fee was quite reasonable. How many service people do you know who meet all these qualifications. Without reservation, we highly recommend Outlaw Welding Services."
"Eddie was great to work with! We had a limited time frame to adhere to town inspections and Eddie and his team knew exactly what we needed and quickly got the job done. The results were great and even the inspector acknowledged the impressive repair. They were able to put a knocked out garage wall back on the foundation and repair the interior dry wall.
I would recommend this company for any professional contract work due to their reasonable price, ease to work with and quality of work."
"Thomas did an excellent job fixing my sagging gates. I can finally open them without struggling! He is friendly and professional, a pleasure to work with. I would hire him again in an instant. His communication was outstanding, kept me informed through the whole process. Thank you Thomas!"
"I needed stucco repair work on an old chimney (and other spots). Grady was meticulous and thoughtful on what approaches and materials would work. Throughout the project they allocated sufficient time for each treatment to cure and inspected the work before proceeding to the next step. Grady started the project with no money down and only required ongoing payments for materials until the project was well underway. The final payment was due only after they did a final inspection. Total project cost was also below other bids."

"Light Speed Welding is a gift from God. Matt got right back to me by phone and text. I sent him pix of the job. He gave me a fair price. It was a complex job and included welding three small pieces to a chassis. He did it perfectly w/o any complaining. Tough job, but he made it look easy. Talented. Recommend highly."
"They were prompt, responsive and delivered the product earlier than expected. I can't say whether pricing was high or low compared to competitors as our decision was primarily based on timeliness - but the quality of work was worth the price."
"I first contacted Raj when I needed a metal gate in my Harlem coop s building cut open at the last minute so that kitchen cabinets, that were too big to pass through the opening, could be brought up the stairs. Those huge pieces were sitting in the lobby, thus time was of the essence. Raj replied right away and stopped by to assess the situation after a full day working on another project. Not only was he able to do what was needed quickly and for a reasonable price, but he also suggested a different, more flexible way of welding the gate back together afterward, to allow for large items to be brought through it in the future. He then noticed that the gate itself was completely loose where it was attached to the wall. Had it given way when someone was trying to open or close it, the heavy gate might have knocked that person down the stairs, causing bodily harm. Thank goodness he was so conscientious! Since that job, our coop has hired Raj for a few other, minor welding projects, all of which he did with skill and professionalism. It is rare to find a contractor with experience who is willing to do smaller projects. His work is excellent and he comes up with creative solutions to handle the tasks at hand. We would hire Raj again, without hesitation."
The average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

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.
Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.
Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.
