"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

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

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.

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.

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

Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.
