"Tony advised me what he was going to do to rectify the failed welding issue. He called me the following day letting me know he had completed the repair and the trailer was ready for pickup. The charge for this work was very resable. He was a very personable person to work with. I will use his service again."

EAST WIND FENCE, is owned and operated by one person. My name Joe Regalado, Happy to communicate and work with you, I think dealing with just one person makes a difference and keeps things simple. I've worked for many companies learning various skills along the way. Metal is one thing my past experiences have in common, well that and safety. I worked for a fence company for about 5 years, but I left to work in a foundry helping make bronze statues and monuments. I've decide my skills in metal work and installation experience would be most beneficial for me to do on my own. Especially in this unknown time of covid out there, but I should be safe in your yard and I usually work alone to limit the possibilities. Being just one person may take more time to get the job done, but I've never had a situation I couldn't find a solution for. I enjoy building a fence that will last, I'm professional, respectful of your home and yard. The best part for me, seeing a satisfied customer :)

Small jobs welcome

"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

Some welding projects, such as repairing pipes 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:

  • Metal furniture repair: $35–$100

  • Pipe repair: $200–$1,000

  • Small gates: $550–$750

  • Fencing: $1,200–$1,800

  • Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750–$2,500

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

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

Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective. 

Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation. 

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.
