"Worst service and company I have ever worked with. In my 20 years in property management, I have never worked with such unprofessionalism. They painted the roof of the pergola that they built and all of the paint bubbled and looked terrible only a week afterwards. When I signed the contract for the pergola job, the owner Vladamir pushed me to give him a down payment to start the job, but then he didn't start until 4-5 months later and acted like he was doing me a "favor" on a $19,000 job. He was so rude and difficult to work with the entire time. The roof he put was too short so he re-made it months ago and they have yet to install it and fix the bubbled paint, I have been contacting him and he has not returned any calls/texts. At another job, they put the wrong closing mechanism on a $30k job and we had non-stop issues with the gates, when I asked them to come back and see what's going on, he kept avoiding it and then just stopped responding. I am still waiting for them to finish another job, the owner Vladamir has yet to respond to messages, he is so rude and refuses to take responsibility. I do NOT recommend working with them, I will never use them again."

Renovation and finished basement, kitchen and baths. Residential and commercial construction and repairs

"Terrible experience. Dakota was awful at responding to any emails, calls, or texts. We essentially contracted with him and the morning he was supposed to start work, he said he was COVID-positive and would get back to us about rescheduling. We never heard from him or anyone at L&D Construction again. Completely unreliable and unprofessional."

"Skyline Metal Fabrication's attention to detail, flexibility, expert craftsmanship, excellence, and ultimate pursuit of perfection is what immediately comes to mind when I think about my experience with Ramiro, Heather, and crew.  After vetting about 10 local companies for my iron fence project, Skyline was head and shoulders above the competition.  For example, one of the questions I asked all companies was "How much distance would separate each post on this property?"  Until Ramiro, all companies responded with a generic, canned answer.  Ramiro, on the other hand, took out his tape measure and proceeded to measure each side of the property.  He then sat down at my patio table, grabbed a pen and piece of paper, and calculated the exact distance.  To the inch.  In addition, he explained that this distance would vary based on the fence height, picket thickness overall weight of each section, and other factors (our fence is 6").  He also shared in detail the nature of designing an iron fence and discussed the endless options available, giving my wife and I great ideas for our project.  I knew then and there Skyline was hired before the quote arrived.  Needless to say, we will be hiring Skyline for future projects and can't recommend them enough.   "

Welding services FAQs

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.

The average cost to hire a welder is about $300, with an average rate ranging from $65 to $125 per hour, depending on their experience and the project type and size. Aside from labor costs, some other charges you’ll need to pay include the cost of the welding material and the cost of the shielding gas that makes welding possible and safe. When you’re interviewing welders for your work, you can ask for an estimate based on your project specifics. In some simple cases, like welding gas lines or common welding projects, local welders may charge a flat hourly rate with add-ons if necessary.

There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:

  • Are you licensed and certified?

  • How long have you been in the welding business?

  • Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?

  • Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?

  • Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

  • How long do you expect my welding project to take?

  • What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?

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.

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.
