New Heating and AC Company. We also do general handyman type projects like residential repairs including HVAC, plumbing, and carpentry projects. I've been in the building trades for 15 years. I'm very motivated to grow my company based on value of services I provide and pride of craftsmanship that I learned from my Grandpa at a very young age. We have a towing and hauling service as well. We are also mobile welding and fabrication.

"Tim was very professional. He arrived on time, with tools in hand, ready to work. He listened to what I envisioned for each project, and then took the time to explain the work it would entail in detail, and also why it needed to be done that way. Tim completed the jobs in a timely manner and charged an extremely reasonable price; I could tell he took great pride in his workmanship. What impressed me the most was the extra effort Tim put into protecting the areas around each project from damage, and the cleanliness of his work area. He left those areas cleaner than how he found them. I give his wife major props for teaching him the importance of "knowing your customer.""

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.

Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don’t. However, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they’re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to determine whether your potential hire has a welding license.

Professional metal fabricators usually charge around $70 per hour. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live.

The difference between a lintel and a beam is what loads each is responsible for supporting. A lintel is a type of beam that is responsible only for supporting the load above an opening, such as a window or door, and transfers the weight to the side walls around an opening. A beam supports the slab and transfers the load to nearby columns, which then disperse the load to the ground.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.
