Great! Despite a number of delays due to my Home Owners Association, Jason stuck it out and accommodated the need for revised drawings until we got the green light. It was a very positive collaboration. Not only did he create a panel that reduced my wind, he also followed my design and enhanced...

The whole process was great! The job I had the bros do was pretty challenging in that we wanted to save a 30+ year existing wisteria that had grown in and around the former trellis. We had the bros demo the existing structure and weld a new steel trellis in it's place. They did a great job and...

Kevin showed up on a Saturday, took one look and said those musical words "that's not a problem". He worked with me to figure out how to get it repaired correctly and never gave me any grief about my amateur workmanship. It was worth every penny to have a professional bail me out and salvage my...

The O’Connor Brothers Design Build did an excellent job, an all metal carport, from helping me design it to the completed work. From the beginning of the job to the completed work they communicated clearly with me, were on time and on budget.

Metal fabrication and restoration services FAQs

Metal fabrication is a large umbrella term that can include bending metal, welding, cutting, stamping, drilling, forging, and casting. Metal fabricators often have quite a few pieces of specialized machinery and experience in the different forms of fabrication, which means they’re able to handle many different forms of metal work. An experienced metal fabricator might be able to tackle everything from creating metal siding or roofing from raw materials to constructing a custom wrought iron fence.

The average hourly rate for a metal fabricator is around $70, but the scope of your project will play a big role in your total costs. A good way to get an estimate for your metal fabrication project is to multiply the cost of raw materials by four. A quarter of your total typically goes toward material, and three quarters goes toward labor. Some factors that can influence your metal fabrication costs include the difficulty of your project, the metal you’re using, and your specified design.

A welder is a metal worker that uses heat and specialized tools to bind metal together, while a sheet metal worker more often uses cold methods to bend thin sheets of metal into shape for siding, roofing, or some other application. A metal fabricator might use one or both of these metal working techniques, along with others, to provide a wider range of services. In many cases, a metal fabricator is the most likely to be able to handle your metal project.
