The Clock Doc knew exactly what needed to be done. He asked for a week to make a replacement, and a week later let me know that the pendulum was ready. I put it back in the clock and the clock now is working fine. I would take any of my mechanical clocks to him. A good mechanical clock repairman is very hard to find. The Clock Doc is a good mechanical clock repairman, indeed.
Description of Work: The flexible piece of metal at the top of the pendulum for a 120 year old tall case clock broke. Unless it was repaired, the pendulum could not be attached and the clock could not keep time.

The Clock Doc told us we had a 30-day wind-up clock and sold us a key. He also wound it a bit for us, instructing us to wind it until it couldn't go any further. It's been working like a charm ever since. We love to hear the chimes on the hour and half hour.
Description of Work: We picked up a wind-up clock at a yard sale and needed a key to wind it.

It's been several years since the service, but friend asked for a recommendation and I just had to take time to write a positive review, as well. We moved my mother's antique grandfather clock across the country and needed it to be set up and re-assembled. Lou was very knowledgeable and took the time to help us secure the clock to the wall to prevent damage and level it. He made some adjustments and then instructed us on how to wind and adjust the clock if it ran fast or slow. Three years later, this 200+ year old clock is keeping perfect time. I could not possibly give a higher recommendation!

Lou's work, mirrors his deep faith and we would return to him for any reason. We also highly recommend Lou to anyone who seeks quality work and at a tremendous value.
Description of Work: Lou Miller performed a complete triage on our 33 year old mechanical regulator type clock that was poorly repaired by another service provider in another state. Lou took his time investigating the sources of the issues with our clock, provided timely and economical repair recommendations. Because of a few internal issues with wear within our clock, Lou was able to have several parts made for us. Several other worn components within the clock were also repaired or completely replaced. In the end, our clock once again hangs in our home and keeps accurate time.

I found Lou Miller on Angie's list and selected him for my clock repair since he was conveniently located and had excellent reviews. I dropped off my antique pendulum mantle clock, along with the various parts/pieces, on Nov. 13. Mr. Miller told me it would be 4-6 weeks for the cleaning and repair, and he quoted me a flat rate for the work (not including the cost of any additional parts that might be required). I was so pleasantly surprised when Mr. Miller called on Nov. 25 to say that my clock was ready for pickup - less than 2 weeks since I dropped it off! When I arrived, he explained what additional parts he'd purchased (a mere $3.50) and advised me how to properly wind the clock and adjust the pendulum if the clock runs too slow or fast. I am absolutely thrilled to have my mother's clock running again after more than 30 years! I would definitely recommend Mr. Miller to anyone who needs clock service or repair.

I dropped the clock off the week before Christmas and told him I was in no hurry. He called me to pick it up two days after Christmas. I was very impressed with his speed, and expertise.
Description of Work: Service and repair of early 1900's pendulum mantle clock. This clock had been in storage and was not working. He not only repaired the clock, but also taught me how to use the alarm function, which I didn't even know the clock had. He was very professional, meticulous and quite clear in all his communication. Outstanding service. I would definitely recommend to others.

Description of Work: My cuckoo clock of 35 years fell off the wall and shattered! I was frantic because we had just moved into the area and knew of no clock repair shops. I found Lou Miller on Angies List and what a Godsend he was. He has a friend,Mike Hester, who works magic with wood and while Lou kept the inner workings of the clock, Mike put the casing back together for $56. Long story short: they both did a fabulous job, my clock is up and running, and I would definitely use them again! PS Lou works out of his home, which was fine by me and Mike has a shop nearby which is called the Lothlorian,

I needed a to have fixed a large wall clock (a mechanical, weight driven pendulum movement) that hadn't run in at least a year. Turned out that the clock needed cleaning and re-balancing of the bearings and pivots, but no major repairs. We dropped the clock off and it was brought back and installed. Turn around was about three weeks (including letting the clock run for a week while in the shop). It now runs and keeps good time.
Description of Work: Needed diagnostic inspection and repair of wall clock, which hadn't worked for months.
