Are hot water heaters good for scrap metal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Are hot water heaters good for scrap metal?

• <div><p>Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they&rsquo;re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don&rsquo;t expect to fetch a high price, though&mdash;water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren&rsquo;t high-value metals.

Q: What’s the difference between a welder and a metal fabricator?

• <div><p>Welding is the process of using extreme heat&mdash;and, sometimes, pressure&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: How do various elements influence the cost of assembling a unit?

• <div><p>Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to create a custom metal structure or object?

• <div><p>Costs vary widely, from $500 for small pieces to over $10,000 for large or intricate designs, depending on metal type, fabrication complexity, and labor.</p></div>

Q: Why is my brass turning black?

• <div><p>Brass that is turning black is experiencing oxidation, a reaction caused by exposure to air. The oxygen found in air reacts with the metal and begins to cause discoloration that will become darker and more widespread with time. Regular cleaning will remove oxidation and prevent it from progressing on brass items.</p></div>

They helped me turn a metal garage into a beautiful workspace, with a loft and enclose space for my car. They listened to my ideas and helped bring my vision to life. They get to work quickly and have a very fair price.

Replaced the popcorn ceilings in some rooms. I scraped and called these guys to do the retexture with splatter drag and paint. They did a first rate job. I'll be calling again when ready to do the rest of the house.

"Thres and his crew are amazing! He contacted me soon after submitting a request for quote. I wanted covered parking and added on updates to my gated entrance. It took a little while to get our calendars aligned (he's super busy) but once we did everything moved along quickly. They were in and out in just a few days. I'm extremely pleased with the work done and would hire them again in an instant!"
