Description of Work: The suspension spring on my wall clock broke and I found and installed a replacement myself. But the clock wouldn't stay running. John came to my house and identified and fixed the problem, at the same time tuning and lubricating the clock. He also noticed other aspects of the clock that had been repaired in a slipshod manner in the past and will be fixing those in a subsequent visit. I couldn't be more pleased.

John came to my home to fix my grandfather clock. He was very prompt, courteous and professional. He took one look at the clock and knew right away what was wrong. I am extremely pleased to hear my clock chime again (and in tune)! I will definitely use John if the clock fails again. Thanks so much!

I found this company long distance. I had the clock moved to NY from southern NJ and needed a clock person put it back together again. I had 3 names from Angie's list and this was the only 1 who would make a house call. No problem setting up the date . Came a little late but did not rush the job. I was thrilled to hear that the clock not only was working again but that there were no problems with its set-up or function. I now know that my son has a reputable business to call if service is needed. I not only highly recommend this business but the entire process I went through.
Description of Work: I sent a large grandfather clock to my son in Brooklyn NY. This company was the only 1 of the 3 I called who not only made house calls but acted as if they were glad for the business. The pendulum and 3 weights had to be unpacked and re-fitted to the clock. The clock had to be leveled and all mechanisms had to be re-started. My son had to instructed in the care and functioning of the clock. Time was spent with all aspects of the job. 1 and 1/2 hrs later all was complete. The clock is working well.

He was just lovely. He said it may not be worth it to get the clock fixed. He told me what I should do to fix my clock. He was very informative and sweet. I will use him in the future.
