Customers say: True professional

"I highly recommend JC steel for their professionalism and attention to detail which really set them apart from the other contractors I ordered 2 sets of railings with one installation above a trex deck Unlike other contractors who recommended screwing the railing to the deck they removed the decking and installed pressure treated 2x12â  s between the joists and a plate below the decking to ensure a secure footing Luis the steel fabricator designed a steel diamond plate cover for my septic tank . The cover included a recessed handle and pieces of angle iron underneath to insure the cover wouldnâ  t slide. The fact that theyâ  ve provided the extra details at a price which was comparable to the other estimates was very much appreciated. I"

"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."

"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."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:

  • Are you licensed and certified?

  • How long have you been in the welding business?

  • Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?

  • Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?

  • Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

  • How long do you expect my welding project to take?

  • What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?

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

Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.
