"I had over 160 feet of rusted out bottom fence railing that Mr Dias and his crew replaced with new and they did a lot of welding to the posts. In some instances the post had to be repaired/repatched in order for the horizontal railings to weld back to posts. In all they spent two days removing and welding and one day prep and sanding and one day in painting. Four days in all from start to finish. Mr Dias also came back out one final time a couple of days after for his final inspection and any paint touch ups. I highly recommend Mr Dias for his welding services and eye for detail experience when it comes to wroth-iron fence repairs. Believe me he saved me a lot of money restoring rather than replacement."

"My privacy fence was out of alignment and could not be opened due to a sinking sidewalk. Eric removed, refurbished and reinstalled the affected section, rebuilding part of the lock. I am so relieved to have this fixed and amazed at the outcome!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

Yes, but you’ll need reliable steel-cutting tools and safety gear to get started. Shipping containers are typically around ¾ inch thick, so it’s entirely possible to cut through them, but experience and the right equipment are very important. When possible, try to get a container as close to the size you want it as possible.

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.

Professional metal fabricators typically charge around $70 per hour, but the total cost of your project will depend on several factors. The largest cost drivers are the size, complexity, and design of the project, as well as the price and type of metal used. A good way to estimate the total cost is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four; typically, one-quarter of the total goes toward materials and three-quarters toward labor. Your geographic location can also influence costs, as labor and material prices vary by region.

While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.
