"I spoke with Randy over the phone and he came out the next day to give me a quote. The project was challenging as there were french drains and irrigation pipes to avoid while providing sufficient support for large gates. The gates over the grass had to open more than 90 degrees to clear the grass edges for edging. Randy sketched drawings and I accepted his quote. He provided CAD drawings the next day. His fabricator, James, came out later to double check some measurements and review the site to assure everything would be perfect. He and his helper installed the fence and gates about four weeks later. It was delayed a week due to rain. It came out beautifully. It not only looks great, but it functions even better than we had hoped. James spent hours on the installation making sure it was perfect. The recent rains made the area muddy, but he and his helper did a great job cleaning up. We are very pleased."

"Ellis Metalworks did an outstanding job creating a railing for our remodeled front entry. Because it was a remodel that was designed to improve safety of the stairway, it had some unusual constraints. Also, it had to be approved by the city as a guardrail that met current codes. I was impressed when I interviewed Tony by his knowledge of the requirements then even more impressed when he took the extra step of checking directly with the city on the design. The guardrail is both beautiful and functional. He created a decorative panel to transform a problem area into an attractive focal point. Tony communicated with me clearly on each step of the process. He was very reliable and finished the project on time. It was a pleasure to work with him. I echo the review that said he is very professional and meticulous about his craft. We love the finished product also!"

"Tony went above and beyond, and put a lot of care into our deck instincts. The price was good, and he took on a custom, curved shape that other contractors would not attempt. I was also impressed by his thorough prep work. The way he approached it was much more difficult strategy, but definitely the right way."

"Excellent experience with Braden from Black Bear Fabrication. We needed a window well grate modified for a new vent hood, so the grate would fit back in place. He was quick to respond, great communication prior to beginning the job. On the day he arrived exactly on time and ready to go. He was completely prepared, took a few measurements, and got to work. His workmanship is outstanding, he did a PERFECT job for us. I will recommend him to anyone that needs mobile welding and fabrication. He is a gentleman, and a high-level craftsman. Thank you Braden!"

Welding FAQs, answered by experts

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.

To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.

Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.

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.
