How much does a welder cost?

​

The average national cost for a welder is $150-$250. Many factors impact the price, such as the welder's hourly rate, materials, and the type of welding project you need help with. The total cost generally covers materials, equipment, and labor.

As a homeowner, you might hire a welder or metalworker to build a custom fence or gate, build decorative interior metalwork, or add safety features to your house, like window bars. Welders can also help with pipes and restoration work and have experience with a range of metal types, like aluminum, wrought iron, stainless steel, carbon steel, and galvanized steel.
