"Simply wow! I had what I considered to be a relatively small project of adding a railing to our outdoor steps. Within minutes of my posting my request on Angie's List (through Allpros.com) I received a call from Jimmy. He was very helpful in my thinking through options for a stair rail. The next morning, Michelle came out to measure the stairs. Shortly after, I heard from Jimmy with an estimate that was much lower than I expected, and a time frame that was faster than expected. I got a few other estimates, but none came close to Jimmy's in cost or delivery time frame. I worked with Jimmy a bit more wanting to understand exactly what he was proposing. He was very responsive to my numerous inquiries, never treating me like a small potential customer. Jimmy came out to test the fit of the rail a few days after I accepted his estimate and the rail fit almost perfectly, thanks to Michelle's excellent work measuring and fabricating the rail. The railing took a few extra days at powder coat, but Jimmy has now installed it, and it looks great! I would not hesitate to recommend Steel works Northwest for your metal work needs and know who will be my first call if I have metal working needs in the future."

"Workers were on time and delivered our fencing needs as quoted. As return customers and especially as Seniors, we're quite pleased with how polite, respectful and how trustworthy Goodrow's was once again. We're happily retaining them for a deck project and looking at some additional projects later this year exclusively with Goodrow's!"

"We had Plantrex do a deck resurfaced. After it was in, there was a tenant caused deck fire. Plantrex did an outstanding job on both the original resurface and on the deck repair and restoration after the fire. Cleanup, everything was great."

"Brian and his crew are very friendly and professional. They were able to squeeze my fence install project into their tight schedule so that I could get my new dog boarding business up and running quickly. When a wrong part came in Brian went above and beyond to get my fence completed by working late and on his day off. Brian always called to inform me of my fencing status. I highly, highly, highly, recommend Brian and his excellent crew!"

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 average cost for a welding project is about $300, with typical costs ranging from $125 to $490. However, prices can be as low as $125 for very small jobs or exceed $1,200 for large or complex projects. Welders typically charge an hourly rate between $65 and $150, depending on their experience, and many charge a minimum fee to cover overhead and travel expenses. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including labor, the cost of materials like metal rods and shielding gas, the type of metal being welded, the project's size and complexity, and your geographic location. For a precise quote, it's best to ask a local welder for an estimate based on your specific project.

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.

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

To maintain custom or fabricated metal structures and extend their lifespan and appearance, perform regular cleaning, apply rust prevention treatments, and use protective coatings.
