"Nick and his crew did a great job. In just four days, we had a brand new beautiful driveway and front porch. Our driveway is very steep and Nick designed it with grooves that will greatly help with traction during the winter. We've had numerous compliments since the installation was complete. We would not hesitate to recommend Nick Scotti Concrete Contractor."
"The cement cracked and broke apart in areas in February 2015, 3 months after the work was completed. It was guaranteed for one year. Mike never returned to assess the damage to determine IF anything could be done despite about a dozen attempts of phone calls and text messages. "
"Lou and his crew were great. Knowledgeable, easy to work with and quality. Lou came out measured everything up and gave me a quote over the phone later that day. Got me in the schedule and we coordinated around his other projects. Removed old asphalt driveway and installed new concrete slab in 3 days. Would hire Goodfellas again and recommend."
"I had a 50 x 3 ft fallen retaining wall in my backyard which has no road access. Joe was a pleasure to deal with from the quote through completing the job. He recommended a concrete wall instead of blocks due to the access issue. It was still a massive amount of work but Joe and his colleague were extremely efficient. The new wall looks great and they left my yard and property in pristine condition. Would recommend and would definitely hire again."
"We are very happy we used Michaleks concrete. We love our driveway and steps. Job well done. I will definitely tell my friends and family if they need concrete work done to use Michaleks"
"Great! The job was completed in a reasonable time and any requests for changes were accommodated without issue (or complaints). The improvements made have not only stabilized the area around our stream but also the appearance of our property. We could not be happier! I highly recommend this company."
"Hired C&W (Pete) to uncover my septic tank and fix the entire system. We were in real trouble with a septic system that was backed up and unusable. For a family of 5 this was a very stressful situation. Pete took care of the entire problem in an extremely timely manner. True to his word he and his team fixed the problem and left the job site in perfect condition. Really can't imagine anyone else could have done this any better. Highly recommend using this company!"
"Was hired to dig up and replace concrete patio...was told there would be no 'bird baths' puddles...needless to say the slab right outside the door will be an ice rink come winter...water does not drain away from the house...this he was told about...never come back to seal and patio had 'boogers' as he called it in the water drainage joints....was called multiple times and never come to fix...made quite a mess at our window well...we built a cover with screen to hide...we were at the point of seeing no integrity and taking the loss and move on...THEN...discovered a hole ...yes a hole.... again he was called said he would come and yet once again ...no call no show....should have went with the first red flag...his FIRST cancellation call to come and look at the job....actually said he wanted to go swimming...too bad...we kept giving him chance after chance to make things right"
"Marty and his team were awesome to work with and very professional. On time and the value they delivered was best in class! Neighbors and strangers that pass by have stopped and asked who did our driveway all the time which is a testimonial of their work quality in its self! The swirl design they put created makes our driveway stand out vs. the boring straight brush look you see from most contractors! I highly recommend Marty and Warrior Concrete!!!!!!!"
"I interviewed 3 people involving concrete and tying in a french drain and he explained everything in such a way that it was very detailed very good. I was so impressed with him that I have hired him for 5 other jobs. He goes above and beyond. Sometimes he'll tie in small jobs into the larger project. I wish all contractors were like him. He is there on sight himself which is very important. He does not leave your job for someone elses job. He will stay until your job is done. Everything is out in detail on the contract. No unhappy surprises with him."
Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.
Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed 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?
Yes, you can cut plexiglass by hand using a sharp knife or blade (utility knife, box cutter, glass cutter, etc.).
Cutting round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.
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
