"I called Marvin on 4/10/2018 and he came out the next day to take a look at the job to give me an estimate. I explained that I wanted the railing to be of Spanish motif and have a gate such that we could walk from the porch to the back yard. I additionally told him that I wanted heavy gauge or solid steel posts such that the railing would not move if someone leaned on it. He had a catalog with him that had every handrail and baluster under the sun. I was able to find exactly what I wanted. He went out to his truck and in about 10 minutes had an estimate to do the job. I gave him a 50% deposit and he then left. He explained to me that he had to order all the materials since what I had selected was all special order. I additionally requested that the railings be powder coated gloss black. At that time he indicated that powder coating would add an additional 10-14 days to the fabrication process, I was OK with that. After about 2 weeks I checked in with him to check on the progress, he told me that all the railing parts had arrived and he was in the fabrication process at that time. The total length of the railings was over 40' so this was a lot of balusters to weld. About 2 weeks later he called me to let me know the railings were complete and we scheduled a day for installation. On the day of installation he and a helper arrived on time and it took about 5-6 hours to install. The job turned out better than I could have ever imagined, everyone that sees our porch has remarked what a beautiful railing. I could not have been more satisfied. Prior to calling MG fabrication, I read each and every review he had on Angie's List. During the installation I was chatting with Marvin about some of the reviews posted on Angie's List that mention he was slow in responding and I told him after reading them in my opinion most of them had unrealistic expectations. You have to remember that Marvin does all the fabrication and installation himself, so you have a guy that has been welding all his life working on your job. His company has no salespersons, or other employees that run up his overhead. He additionally told me that he located his shop on the west side of San Antonio where his monthly leasing expenses were very cheap. I liked everything about this guy and his company, his estimate was less than I expected and I gave him the job without getting any more estimates, he has a great business model, essentially no overhead, and that model was reflected in the estimate I received, and the workmanship is impeccable. Once my wife and I can decide on how we want the stairs to look we are going to meet with Marvin and have him fabricate our stairs. Thanks Marvin"

"This is a father/son team. They did an AMAZING job on our deck. They tore down the old deck, hauled everything away and built us an almost 400 sq ft deck…with a roof. They used nothing but quality lumber. They were very meticulous about their work and made sure we were satisfied with it. If there was something we wanted to change, they were accommodating. Their pricing was very reasonable. They were very respectful to my wife and I. I have already recommended them to two other friends. If you want a good quality deck, these are the boys you want to hire! I plan on bringing them back to build us a gazebo!"

"I had a difficult time finding a fencing company in the San Antonio area that offered the right combination of quality, affordability, and reliability. After meeting Mark with Noah’s Ark Fencing, I knew I had found the right person for the job. I had an old chainlink fence from a previous project that needed to be removed. Mark provided a fair estimate, gave me a clear timeframe for completing the work, and followed through exactly as promised. From start to finish, Mark was professional, punctual, and committed to doing quality work. He used high quality materials and went above and beyond to address even the smallest concerns I had. His attention to detail and willingness to make sure everything was done right really stood out. I would absolutely recommend Noah’s Ark Fencing to anyone in need of fencing services. Mark’s work is 10 out of 10, and he truly goes above and beyond for his customers. Excellent work, fair pricing, and someone you can count on!"

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.
