"Great.  Tim was skilled, honest, forthright, courteous, considerate and punctual through the whole job.  His assistant was pleasant and hardworking.  He came out right away to look at the deck which had been flagged by the inspector I hired to look at the house when I was under contract to buy it.  Though this was a relatively small job, he helped me understand deck structure as well as point me towards independant sources of information to help me through the negotiating process with respect to getting a reduction of the house's purchase price which involved at least a dozen calls and communications.  (I did get estimates from other builders who came out higher with all sorts of caveats built into their contract so I could not be sure what the final price would be).   When the actual job started, we ran into some tough ground (clay and large rocks) to remove in order to putting the footings which took extra days to get through as it was done by hand (because Tim did not want to tear up my yard with his heavy duty digging equipment).  Tim did not charge me beyond the estimate for this unforseeable complication though it was clearly within his right under the circumstances to do so.  The work was excellent and he is the type of a craftsman who is by nature unable to leave a job that isn't well done.  Though I thought the job was done, he came back out to perfect it beyond what I had expected.  He left the place as clean as he found it.    I recommend him without hesitation

Welding questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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. 

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.
