The clock continued to work for about three months, and then stopped for good.
Description of Work: This is a Civil War era shelf clock with wooden works. They removed the movement, and sent it off to a specialist. After eight months, it came back and they reinstalled it.

I called to see if there was any place to park by the establishment. I was told to park right out in front that they had a loading zone for that purpose. The owner was very friendly; he told me the clock would be ready in a few days. He gave me an estimate of $35.00 to $50.00 for the repair. We talked for a few minutes; he had been in business a long time. This was a new location. I received a call the very same day telling me the clock was ready. "It was a easy fix". I could not pick up that day. I went a few days later and picked up the clock. I was extremely satisfied with the overall experience.
Description of Work: Wall clock was not working; parts were replaced (pendulem) & the hands of the clock were not working (they would not go around)

very poorly- Left clock in Nov of 2009 Said I was going to Fl back mid march. Will be Ready! Not so. Called every couple of weeks and got a lot of run around. Finally called in May and said I would be out to get the clock done or not. Went in Told father I had told son I was coming to get it and the son says I never called. Father swears at me and I demand the clock .He follows me out the door and continues to swear. Calls next day to apologize and says he has the part and glad to fix. I simply hung up-what a ship of fools!
Description of Work: none Not exactly sue of pick up date but mid may is close

Baystate came back many times with fine adjustments on our large grandfather clock. Now they didn't charge us for that either. John was who we dealt with directly. We were fully satisfied and would surely use them again. We were really quite pleased with them.
Description of Work: This guy restored a nice grandfather clock we have. He replaced a lot of parts, cleaned it out and got it so that it was working again after it had not been for quite some time.

I called the clock store Dec. 27th; I felt that I had been patient more than enough. I asked if my clock was ready. I was told it was. I was also asked why I waited so long. I explained I had been treated rudely last time I called (May) & decided to wait what I thought was enough. I got a very insincere apology & a denial that I was treated this way. I made an appointment at my insistence to get clock back Jan 4th between 1-3 pm. I said thank you & hung up. I was told that I would receive a call back to tell me the cost. I got a very paranoid message message from John telling me that he called my father 4 times & was hung up on each time and that he was not willing to go into a hostile situation. I called him back where he vehemently insisted that I was never spoken to rudely. I told him that this had gone too far, & we needed to get the clock back and be done with this. My father was not home when he called. The answering machine had hung up on him; it's not functioning correctly.
Description of Work: The clock was not keeping time and not chiming accurately. The home visit was scheduled April 17, 2006. My dad came over and let John in. My dad told me that the clock works and would have to go to the shop for cleaning and repair which would take approximately 2 weeks. I called the shop after three weeks and was very rudely told by John that no the clock was not ready and that they would call me when it was ready. There was no doubt in my mind from the tone of his voice and his attitude that I was in the wrong.
