"I like a contractor that is simple, straight forward, no fancy sales pitch. I thought I needed the whole railing replaced. They stated that was a waste of money and just fix what I had for half the price. I like the honesty."

Customers say: True professional

"I have worked with them twice most recently a full bath remodel. Very professional, clean and surprisingly quiet. They do good quality work and very honest. Gave good advice on fixtures saving me money and I have high quality. They really go above and beyond what you would expect. As a few things popped up during the project they added those in without a problem. I highly recommend."

"I had the privilege of working with Arkco, LLC who exceeded all our expectations in rebuilding our home after it tragically burned down. Meeting with Vladimir put us at ease, his compassion for his work and ability to grasp our vision for the new home was clear. He and his team listened intently to our ideas, hopes, and dreams, and then translated them into reality. We wanted to modify the new home's layout and Vladimir was able to draft a wonderful new architectural design, bringing a modern and more open flow to our home. Throughout the entire project, communication was seamless. They were always available to discuss any concerns or ideas we had, making us feel truly involved in the process. The team made great expert recommendations though out the process and with their attention to detail our completed home was more beautiful than we imagined. In summary, our experience with Vladimir and the Arkco, LLC team was nothing short of outstanding. Their compassion, understanding, speed, quality of work, and dedication to listening to our desires made the daunting task of rebuilding our home after a devastating fire feel like a journey of hope and renewal. We are forever grateful for their expertise and professionalism and highly recommend them to anyone seeking a contractor/architect who truly cares about their clients' visions and well-being."

"We had cracks in the dyed mortar of the bricks above our garage. Grady took the time to match the color, even with the color having aged 10 years, and you would not even be able to tell that there was new mortar. If your project is anything like ours, you will not be disappointed."

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.

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. 

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.

The cost to weld aluminum averages about $14 to $22 per pound. The type of metal factors into the overall cost of any welding project due to the cost of the materials and the expertise required to work with it. Some of the most common metals used by welders include:

  • Magnesium alloy: $7–$16 per pound

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Copper/brass: $24–$29 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

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.
