What do most welders charge per hour?

• <div><p>Welders typically charge about <b>$65 to $150 per hour</b>, often charging a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel as applicable. Even if the job takes less than an hour, you’ll still pay the minimum charge to cover the welder’s transportation costs if they come to you. You may still pay a minimum price if you take your project to the welder, as they still have overhead of a workshop and materials to expense.</p></div>

Q: Why is my brass turning black?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How much do different welding projects cost?

• <div><p>Some welding projects, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-repair-leaking-pipe.htm">repairing pipes</a> or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project. Some of the most common welding projects include:</p><ul><li><p>Metal furniture repair: $35&ndash;$100</p></li><li><p>Pipe repair: $200&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Small gates: $550&ndash;$750</p></li><li><p>Fencing: $1,200&ndash;$1,800</p></li><li><p>Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750&ndash;$2,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What factors affect assembly costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.</p></div>

Q: Can I do my own welding?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t have the proper equipment. As such, it&rsquo;s usually better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-things-consider-when-hiring-welder.htm">hire a professional welder</a> for your welding projects.</p></div>

I got a quote to move a 2 bedroom duplex into a 3 bedroom house. They sent out a guy to go through the house to put together a quote. Right off the bat, they had the wrong form for doing a long-distance move. They were supposed to take pictures, but failed to do that. I was quoted $6,126 for the...
