"TJ installed two handrails at my church. His estimate was unbelievably affordable. His craftsmen ship and professionalism was 5-star!!! He arrived on time….. and completed the job exactly to my specifications. He was a pleasure to work with."
"Extremely professional. Showed up on time for the estimate. Answered all the questions I had. Provided a competitive estimate to build and install a custom Flitch beam on-site. I chose to go with a custom made-to-order (in the factory) and ready to install Flitch beam from Better Header."
"We needed a wrought iron hand rail to match our existing railing. Dominick's work exceeded our expectations. He understood what we were looking for and made recommendations to improve the look and stability of the hand rail. I highly recommend Ozark Welding!"
"We had cracks in the dyed mortar of the bricks above our garage. Grady took the time to match the color, even with the color having aged 10 years, and you would not even be able to tell that there was new mortar. If your project is anything like ours, you will not be disappointed."
"They did a great job building a fence for me. Their prices were perfect and did phenomenal work. I highly recommend Claudio Lopez. He also did work in another house and then did work for me."
"Iâ m very pleased with the results of the hand-rails restoration and installation as well. I will hire them again and recommend them to friends and family."
"Phoenix Iron Works delivered exceptional service in updating the building’s railing and bringing it up to code. Their team was knowledgeable, efficient, and thorough in both the assessment and execution. The final result is not only structurally sound but also compliant with safety regulations—giving us peace of mind and a polished finish. I highly recommend them for any code-related repairs or upgrades. Excellent welding!"
Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.
This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes.
The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use.
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.
Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.
Yes, you can cut up a box spring., but you’ll need to do so in layers. You can clear the fabric and fluff away to reveal the springs before removing them as well.
