"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."

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."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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

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. 

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.

Some welding projects, such as repairing pipes or fences, require travel, whereas others, like furniture repair, do not necessarily require the welder to come to you. Travel and overhead factor into the overall cost of your welding project. Some of the most common welding projects include:

  • Metal furniture repair: $35–$100

  • Pipe repair: $200–$1,000

  • Small gates: $550–$750

  • Fencing: $1,200–$1,800

  • Fabricated sheet metal welding: $750–$2,500

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.
