"We needed an emergency repair for a road metal drain grate. Traffic on the road had to be stopped while repair was made. KK Welding did the repair on Christmas Day when the business was closed. They were courteous, prompt and reasonably priced. I would recommend them."

"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

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

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.

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.

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

While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.
