"Working with Alex was a fantastic experience from start to finish. He was responsive in communication, understood our modification needs, and delivered precise measurements and a high-quality finished product. We would definitely turn to him again for any future fabrications or welding. Highly recommended! Thank you, Alex!"

"The project was quoted promptly and initial communication was pretty good. This was the lowest of 6 bids and price and schedule were the deciding factors in our decision to move forward. After scheduling, I emailed to ask who would be calling 811 to mark the utility lines. Reggie confirmed that he would, but no utility people showed up going into the weekend. We called Reggie and told him this and told him that the project could not start until the lines were marked. He confirmed and mentioned that the utility people should be there since the request was submitted on Friday. We said they needed 2 business days so the earliest they would be there was Monday. We pushed the job back one day since the utility people did not show on Monday. The team showed up on Tuesday and dug and installed the fence posts and then left to pick up the remaining materials for the next day. On day two, the team showed up in the morning and Reggie discovered that they had placed the posts for vertical fencing and not horizontal fencing (needed to be closer together to work with the slats) so they dug up the posts and re-did them. They also installed the 20' of 3 ft tall fence. When I returned from work, I noticed that the 3' tall fence posts had all been cut down to height and not left tall for the 6' gate that was supposed to be installed. We called Reggie and let him know and he said they would re-do those posts. The next day they got to work installing the horizontal boards on the 6' fencing. I video called with Reggie while I was at work (my partner facilitated) to confirm which side of the fence would get the "nice side". We agreed that it would all face inwards. Later that day my partner looked outside and noticed that the crew was installing the boards on the outside of the fence and went out to talk to them and had them switch it back to what we had talked about with Reggie. The next day they continued the fencing without any major hiccups and the last day the box gates were built and installed. We reviewed the work with Reggie acknowledging that everything was done correctly and looked nice. We mentioned the confusion (including having to re-do work after we asked questions) and lack of communication and he acknowledged the challenges and pointed out that it was done in the end. After the project was completed, I emailed, texted and called to ask for a receipt and did not receive one until my partner called multiple times. Reggie did show up to make a minor repair to a gate latch about 1 month later. Overall, the workmanship is good, but the communication was not very good."

"NW Builders & Renovation is the best that Portland has to offer. Tops in professionalism is Max, who was our point man for the roof project. He uses only the best materials, top of the line building and roofing materials make our job one that will last for a lifetime. I have confidence in Max, he was always there for any questions I had and when I had an unexpected disaster - a ceiling fell on me, he was right there, offering to come to my house and help me, in my hour of need, he was there. He finished the job with time to spare, and they did a thorough, excellent job. Now I have no fear of rainstorms making my roof leak, I can confidently decorate my home and know that the roof won't leak or fall in. Not only did they do a thorough and excellent job, they cleaned up all the mess that was left over after finishing. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose NW Buildlers & Renovation and Max. my favorite go to roofing guy."

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.

It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.

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?

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.
