Customers say: True professional

"Ty Herbert delivered my dream fence. He made my $85,000 pos of a house (piece of
sh*t) and made it look like a million bucks!
I wanted the whole ordeal, 60’ linear feet of wrought iron, black powder
coated fence, finials, ball caps, 8’ gate, 4’ fancy gate w/ matching side
panels, concrete mow strip and all. He
even sent me a photo of the fancy gate before they powder coated it to see if I
was satisfied with the design. See
photos.
His crew was super fast and accurate. I started out looking for aluminum fencing
but switched over to wrought iron when I met and spoke w/ Ty. His work is impeccable! The crew was so clean it doesn’t even look
like anyone’s been there.
His communication instantaneous and was via Angie’s list and
then email and phone. I’ve never had
such an effortless contractor experience.
Two days before he started, I noticed Atmos flags in my
front yard. It didn’t even dawn on me to
call the utility companies. Plus he acquired
the permit and did not even charge me for it!
Smooth as silk. I wish I could do
it again! If anything goes wrong he’ll
be out to fix it but I can see after close inspection that this fence is
PERFECT!
All of this gorgeous work for only $2500, ½ down.
Thanks Ty and best of luck in your future
jobs. I think you got the raw end of the
deal w/ the other reviews

"They came out after the permit was given and got right to work the first setting all the poles and the big mister one that was going to hold the gate and got the gate frame done. The next day the same and knocked it out in a fury of nails from the one and sparks from the welding the gate opening system and ram. I love my fence and private driveway gate. It's nothing short of beautiful. And thank you guys so much."

"Jacob responded very quickly. I sent photos to him. His quote was 1/3 that of another Angi contractor quote. Once scheduled, he arrived on time and finished the job within a few hours. He explained the work before, during, and upon completion. Excellent work! I hope we don't need future fence repairs or welding but I'll call Jacob at Shepherds Welding if we do."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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.

Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.

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.
