"He did an amazingly wonderful job. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. The railings that he designed and fabricated are beautiful. There is not a single rough spot or obvious weld mark on any of them. He recommended steel with a powder coat and they are perfect. He was always on time, he always notified me before he came to my house, he is a true professional all the way through. I couldn’t be more happy!"

"I called the provider for an estimate and he came right out to give me a bid.  They then came out the following week to install the fence around the pool.  Did a very nice job, it looks very good.  I had asked them to install a gate to swing one way which they did but when I went to open the gate it didn't swing all the way open like I thought it would so it limited the access.  I called Duke about it and told him the gate needed to swing the other way, he came right out and reversed it and now it works properly.  I felt they should have shown me when they first installed it that it didn't work well and should swing the other way instead of installing it anyway.  I had ordered a chain link gate for my driveway and when they came out they had made a wrought iron gate which was more expensive.  I had them install it anyway because it had been made.  When I told Duke that I had ordered a chain link gate he said he thought I wanted a wrought iron gate because that is what they had installed at the other house.  I am very pleased with the gate and it does look very nice but I ordered the chain link because I really didn't care, it was just a driveway gate and I didn't want to spend the extra money for the wrought iron so I felt he should have discounted the price as it was their error.  The areas that were welded are pretty noticeable and someone who is picky about that might have an issue.  All in all though I am pleased with the work and they were very nice and efficient.

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

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
