Horribly. I encourage anyone thinking about doing business with this outfit to check all the review sites. They are uniformly bad (except those he provided himself). If you can sense my anger and frustration then believe this is a place to avoid!
Description of Work: Overhauled our grandfather clock. Did not do so correctly. Had to hire a different provider to fix the problem. Owner, Jon McCabe uses foul language and attempts to intimidate clients when they complain about his work. Only regret is that I didn't check him out before patronizing his business.

The first repair seemed to go well, except the clock stopped moving just a few months later. The second experience was pretty bad. They determined the music box was bad. When they couldn't find a box with the same music, they just selected one randomly. They did not inform me at any point. At home, I was dismayed to hear the clock play a different song. From my perspective, this was akin to taking my black car to get repainted, and having it returned with the trunk red because they ran out of black paint. Technically, they did the job, but the character of the clock was completely changed. When I tried to resolve with Brenda, things got worse. She admitted the problem, but did not offer restitution. When I asked for my money back, she refused, saying I had a new music box. When I asked for my money back except the $15 for the box, she refused again. Then she said the work had already been done. They made a mistake and refused to accept responsibility.
Description of Work: They worked on the clock twice. The first time was for inspection, cleaning and general repair (the clock hadn't been used for several years). The second time was because the hands stopped moving.

FAST SERVICE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE OR NEED AN APPOINTMENT. THE PEOPLE WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND PLEASANT TO DEAL WITH AND SEEMED VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.
Description of Work: I BROUGHT IN A SMALL CLOCK AND 2 WATCHES TO BE REPAIRED. THE CLOCK NEEDED TO BE CLEANED ALSO.

HOUSE OF TIME WAS UNSURE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR MY CLOCK. I LEFT IT IN THEIR CARE AND WITHIN A WEEK, THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY NEEDED TO ORDER A PART AND IT MAY BE A FEW MORE DAYS BEFORE THE CLOCK COULD BE PICKED UP. TEN DAYS LATER, I PICKED UP MY CLOCK. IT WAS WORKING AND HAD BEEN CLEANED.
Description of Work: I HAVE A MANTLE CLOCK THAT HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN TO ME FROM MY GRANDMOTHER. ONE DAY IT STOPPED WORKING. IT IS VERY SENTIMENTAL TO ME SO I WANTED TO FIND A PLACE WHERE I COULD GET IT REPAIRED.
