"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."

"Ken came on time for an estimate and we got the quote within a day. His people finished the project (deck: powerwash, replace several rotting boards, seal/paint; fence: fix the door, power wash, seal/paint) the next week. After the repair was finished we noticed two more boards that needed replacement. Ken was very responsive and had the boards fixed within a few days."

Welding questions, answered by experts

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. 

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—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.

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.

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. 

There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:

  • Are you licensed and certified?

  • How long have you been in the welding business?

  • Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?

  • Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?

  • Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

  • How long do you expect my welding project to take?

  • What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?
