Electrical and Mechanical contracting commerical and industrial

"Came the day after I called to give me an estimate. Six weeks later after giving them the go ahead, I was still waiting. I kept getting excuses that they were busy and that they were short of personnel. Every time I called I was told it would be next week. Finally Bill Murray (the owner) called. He said he wanted to come out the next day, Thursday, review the work to be done And do the job the next day on Friday. He showed up as promised (sans protective Covid mask) and spent all of two minutes asking what I wanted done??? As he got into his car to leave he said his men would be out the next day...or Monday. I left several messages both on Friday and Monday with people from the business. They told me Bill would call me back. No one ever showed up or even bothered to call me. Two weeks later, nothing. Is it too much to expect professional service these days? If you didn’t want the job, why not just tell me rather than wasting eight weeks of my time. One can only assume that their workmanship is no better than their customer service. I’m probably lucky."

Metal Fabrication and Restoration questions, answered by experts

Brass that is turning black is experiencing oxidation, a reaction caused by exposure to air. The oxygen found in air reacts with the metal and begins to cause discoloration that will become darker and more widespread with time. Regular cleaning will remove oxidation and prevent it from progressing on brass items.

To restore an appliance’s shine, clean the surfaces using a natural cleaning solution, and then use a mineral oil or olive oil and a soft microfiber rag to polish stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the graining. A little goes a long way, so dip the cloth in a small amount of oil. If you have any excess, continue with a dry part of the microfiber cloth to soak up any remnants.

Costs vary widely, from $500 for small pieces to over $10,000 for large or intricate designs, depending on metal type, fabrication complexity, and labor.

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?

You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won’t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don’t have the proper equipment. As such, it’s usually better to hire a professional welder for your welding projects.
