"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

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.

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 round ductwork requires precision and the right tools. A duct cutter, specifically designed for circular ducts, is ideal. First, mark the cutting line on the duct using a measuring tape and pencil. Then, position the duct cutter's blade on the marked line. Apply steady pressure, rotating the cutter around the duct. The sharp blade creates a clean, precise cut. Alternatively, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade can be used for larger round ducts. Ensure the duct is securely held in place while making the cut to prevent slips and maintain accuracy.

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. 

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
