KING'S CLOCKS

Very happy with the job performed

it went Perfectly

clock only needed cleaning,Howard was honest enough to say so.Howard could have charged me for a repair andI wouldn't have known the difference.

Better than my expectations!

He works out of his house. I dropped off the clock and was told it would take about 4-5 weeks. He called me the same day to say the clock needed a complete rebuild and explained why. Clock was raedy in about 3 weeks. It runs fine.

Howard came as scheduled and performed service on the clock as expected, He was diligent in his work, as well as courteous and respectful. The clock is working now and we are pleased, since its 29 years old and we plan to keep it in the family for many years. He also explained what service may be needed going forward. I told Howard he can't retire because there are not enough clock specialists around anymore!

Mr. King is passionate about his work and demonstrates a thorough knowledge of his craft - it was a pleasure to work with him. The first clock is what my Mother always called a school clock with an octagonal face and pendulum that hangs on the wall. This one Mr. King cleaned and oiled, and made some corrections to the Westminster chimes as it was out of adjustment. The second clock is a fairly large 8 day Cuckoo clock that I bought in Germany back in the late 1990's and had shipped to the USA. After a couple of years one of the 3 heavy weights associated with the music and dancers broke free from it's internal connection and dropped rapidly to the floor. Once that happened I did not run the clock at all for a number of years and it just hung on the wall. Mr. King was able to determine the problem and repair the music mechanism inside so that the mesh of a couple of gears in that section that were barely engaged were more fully aligned and in better position to support the drive weight. I delivered both clocks to him on a Saturday, and he called me in about 5 days or so to tell me both clocks were repaired and ready to go. I am very pleased with his work and happy to have both clocks running again in perfect working order. ---Thanks Mr. King! ---

Repair and service a grandfather clock.

He performed all the above, and the clock is working great.

The work was very good, we haven't had a problem since.

Mr.King fixed the chimes by just talking to him on the phone. He listened to the chimes and told me what to do . My c

His work is meticulous, everything works, and he is a wonderfully pleasant man I called Mr. King and got an appointment for the next day between 10-12. He arrived exactly at 10. The work was extensive: removing the clock works for cleaning and oiling, rebalancing the clock--all in all, a 3-hour job on a very fine clock. While he was here he got a little cuckoo clock running (although the cuckoo has given up the ghost) and adjusted the bell-chimes on a Dutch wall clock that we have. He also examined a lage cuckoo that he took with him for cleaning and repair. The clocks that he fixed are all running (he will be coming back with a spring for the grandfather clock for the chime). Mr. King is a meticulous working and an extremely pleasant man to have in the house.

This was a overall pleasant experience and as I stated above, I would highly recommend King's Clocks and definitely use his services again as needed.

We were confident choosing Howard King of Kings Clocks since he worked on our Grandfather and Cuckoo clocks in the past and we were pleased and satisfied with the service back then. Again we were satisfied with the quality of his work and how knowledgeable he was about all aspects of the clock. He addressed all our questions and concerns. He treated us in a friendly, courteous and professional manner. Our Grandfather Clock is now keeping perfect time and sounds great. We highly recommend Howard King to others and will definitely use him again to service and clean our clocks.

When we bought our home last year it came with an old Grandfather clock that was in pieces. Howard was very knowledgable and professional. He arrived on time and was able to get this very old German grandfather clock working again. He found the manufacturers serial number and the company mark indicating who made the piece. He leveled, oiled and tuned the clock and made a minor repair to one of the strings. He explained how to set, wind and care for the clock which was very helpful as we have never owned one before. He spent a lot of time doing his job and you could tell he understood and enjoyed his work. He has also promised to help us try to locate tubes for the clock so it may chime again in the future. We were very happy with his level of expertise and would definitely hire him again in the future!

Very professional. Howard spent the time explaining how to maintain our grandfather clock. I will be using him again in the future.

It was wonderful. The gentleman was very pleasant and honest, had excellent prices, and arrived on time. He went out of his way to ensure that my clock would operate properly in the years ahead, and he even oiled my cuckoo clock for free.
