"Firstly, our stair rail is gorgeous. The interactions with Michael who fabricated the rail and Lauren who handles their administrative details were professional and timely. They were so friendly and warm and so easy to work with that I asked for a stack of business cards to tell my contacts about them. Beautiful rail, beautiful experience. Would rate them as a 10 on scale of 5!"

"I took the trailer to Andrew’s shop and showed him where the trailer tongue was broken and needed repaired. He suggested to lengthen the tongue by 3 ft using a pipe. I agreed and left the trailer with him. He told me it may be a couple of days before he could get to it. He called me the next day to tell me he had finished it and it was ready to be picked up. He lengthened the tongue by 3 ft, seal welded the pipes and even plug welded the pipes together…..excellent job. He then painted the tongue. Andrew is a craftsman and is proud of his work. His shop is awesome and he has the capability of doing just about anything that involves metal….welding, cutting, fabricating, etc. He also has equipped a mobile trailer with everything he needs to do remote work."

"We originally hired a different company who caused damage to my house and none of their work passed inspection. Virginia Home Renovations not only fixed the extensive damage caused by the first company but did an amazing job finishing the renovations we wanted in the first place! I'm soooooo happy with my home now!"

"The work went very well and they were able to take care of most of it during wait times that came up while painting the basement floor and walls. I'm very pleased with the results and glad that they made an effort to re-use parts that were in good condition when appropriate. The visible work (like the dryer vent) looks very nice and they made sure to consider building codes as well as my desire for placement of the appliances before they made the connections. They have many years of experience between them and I felt very confident that everything was done properly and well. As with the painting work, they were very considerate of my home and didn't leave any mess behind."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
