"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.

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

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. 

The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use. 

Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.

Yes, you can cut plexiglass by hand using a sharp knife or blade (utility knife, box cutter, glass cutter, etc.).
