"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!"

"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!"

"I was a bit concerned about this company because I could not get a firm date to do the job. We went. back and forth quite a bit between Karen at their office and their estimator Eddie. BUT in the end they did come through and made an excellent wrought Iron stair railing at my parents home in Shoreline. Very Good Job by the crew that crafted and installed the railing. I had talked to about 6 others and Volkan bid a fair price and I am glad I hired them."

Welding questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right metal fabricator for your project begins with research. Find a reputable fabrication company by searching for reputable contractors in your area, and then reviewing photos of their previous work, customer reviews, and photos of the company’s workshop.

Once you’ve narrowed down the list, contact the companies to ask about the types of metal fabrication projects they specialize and inquire about guarantees and warranties on workmanship. You should also ensure the company uses high-quality material, and ask about the schedule and turnaround time for your proposed project.

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.

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

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.

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
