"Jon was wonderful to work with. Got me a quick but thorough estimate and had his team onsite the very next week to start the work on my basement. Job was completed within the week. Would definitely recommend for fixing bowed walls without the expense of trenching all around the house. We were able to save the deck and half the cost."

"David did a lot of work for me on a rental property that I bought. This work included refinishing all of the wooden floors throughout the property, installing vinyl tile flooring in a kitchen and back hallway, painting of a couple of rooms, painting of a vintage Kitchen Queen sink area, repairing some plaster wall issues, and repair/replacement of a kitchen drawer fascia. His work crew consisted of himself primarily and sometimes his wife would assist. Grading of the work performed: 1. Refinishing of the wooden floors B This was the biggest portion of the work performed. Though the floors looks a lot better than they did, there is unevenness in the sheen of the floors in several areas and excess poly material left over on several spots throughout the property. I also had to call him back because he didn't put any poly material under the refrigerator in one kitchen. 2. Installation of the vinyl tile flooring B There are visible/noticeable seams in many areas of the floor (Though I had him use vinyl tile squares, I didn't expect to see so many seams). He didn't thoroughly clean the floor upon completion of the job, thus there was a lot of glue still oozing out of the seams on the floor. Also he didn't perform a very professional tile cutting around an area near the baseboard area near the oven/stove. 3. Plaster repair A He did an excellent job in this area of work. 4. Painting the rooms B There were areas of paint splash leftover. Also he didn't completely paint areas like behind the refrigerator and oven/stove. 5. Painting of the Vintage Kitchen Queen sink area A The end result looks very nice. 6. Repair of the kitchen drawer fascia B The front piece he found to repair it was a good match, but the stain didn't match the other drawers to my liking. David is skilled at many things as he proved on my property, but his attention to detail could be improved upon. Also his work hours are unusual. He wouldn't start until the evening hours and work into the night. This made it difficult to assess progress sometimes as I would come to check on the progress after work, only to find out that he hadn't shown up to work on the project yet. Seeing that the project was for a rental property I can live with the workmanship. He also made it easier on me by being able to lessen the amount of people I needed to contract out. But if this was my own personnel residence I would have insisted on a better quality of result. Project took 4 weeks to complete."

Welding questions, answered by experts

While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.

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.

Welding is the process of using extreme heat—and, sometimes, pressure—to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.

It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.

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.
