The Grandfather Clock Doctor

Clock Repair

About us

The Grandfather Clock Dr. offers quality repair on most makes and models of Grandfather and Grandmother clocks. I have been in the clock repair business full time since 1995. In that time not only have I worked on thousands of clocks, but I have bought and accumulated boxes of grandfather clock movements that are no longer in production. This allows me to get your clock running faster and cheaper. I also use the best equipment in the industry. I use ultrasonic cleaning machines and brand name replacement parts. I work directly with all the major grandfather clock companies like Howard Miller, Ridgeway and Bulova, just to name a few. I also work with moving companies in the Des Moines area setting up or packing up clocks to move all over the world.

I never heard back from either of the people you show as repair peeps. I do get sales ads from the above but nothing about fixing my clock.

Description of Work: I recently inherited a grandfather clock that had been sitting not running for 5 years. It also had never been cleaned. He cleaned the workings, fixed anything that needed it and reassembled the clock. It now runs perfectly.

He is very knowledgeable. He explains everything he is doing and gives you an idea of the price beforehand. He is polite and courteous. He is a nice guy, does great work, and he makes home visits.

He was very good. I called him and he called me back that night and then came out a few days earlier. He came and took in the mechanism out and took it to his shop to clean and fix. He replaced the bushings while he had it the mechanisms at his shop. Then he brought the mechanism back and put it back into the casing and the clock works great.
Description of Work: He cleaned and repaired my clock.
