"Needed a new set of outdoor stairs for entry to second floor room over garage. Bruce came out right away and looked at the situation. Received a VERY reasonable quote for a brand new floating stairs staircase. It was measured and hand constructed with tubular steel and cement steps. He is very up to date on building codes so I knew this was the man to hire. He knocked off a several hundred dollars for my help as I love painting, and since I am retired, I do not mind helping out where I can. His measurements for the stairs were perfect, everything fits perfectly. Our staircase is extremely high for a second story run and his normal lift was a few inches short to handle the runner, so believe it or not he made another lift with no additional cost to me. This man could have been in the Navy Seabees or some type of outfit like that, what he can build with his own two hands is absolutely amazing. I learned a lot from him. The wife and I are very happy with the finished product. Did I mention it is a floating staircase! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!"

"Benitez Fencing started working the day after I hired them to replace my perimeter barbed wire fence on our 10 acres. Mr. Benitez removed and replaced the fence within 3 days at a great price. He was very professional and worked along side his crew. I will use him again and recommend him to others. I am extremely satisfied with the work he completed for us. I now have a safe and secure place to keep my livestock!"

FAQs for welding projects in Salado, TX

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.

The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.

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?

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.

Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don’t. However, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they’re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.
