Description of Work: I had a wall clock that was not functioning. Tucker & Tucker has a standard price for grandfather clocks and adjusted the price for the smaller wall clock. His work was done well in my home and the clock is working again. And, he is available if further assistance is needed.

My grandfather clock is ~ 25 years old and has only been serviced twice (my bad.) The chimes had stopped working a few months ago and I planned to call for service. Then the movement stopped and I checked Angie's List for a local repairman. I called and Trevor Tucker (owner) offered to come out that day (very surprising - thought I'd have to wait weeks!) but I was busy. We scheduled an appointment for several days later. Trevor showed up on time, asked a few questions about the clock and got to work disassembling it. We chatted as he worked and he explained that most manufacturers recommend lubricating every 2 years - he thinks it could go 3-4. He explained how he could tell from the serial number when the clock was made and other details (including that Howard Miller clocks made for a period of time in the early '90s had some problems with the chimes.) Luckily, my clock wasn't in that group. He said that the movements eventually wear and showed some pieces that had some play in them. They are still working, but recommended if they do stop to just replace the entire movement would be easier and cost would be about the same. Regular cleaning and lubrication keeps the clock working and you could expect to get 30 years out of a clock like mine. He disassembled the clock taking out the pendulum, chime weights, clock face, and clock movement. He inspected each piece, cleaned and oiled. After reassembling he stayed for a little while to make sure that the clock was operating and the chimes were striking as they should. He said he would send me a reminder card for service when due. Overall, I think Trevor did a great job, he explained everything he did, didn't make recommendations for additional costly repairs that weren't warranted, was available for service quickly, and the cost was very reasonable - a little less than I expected to pay. Highly recommend his service.
Description of Work: Cleaned and lubricated the movement on my Howard Miller Grandfather clock.

He responded to my voicemail after a couple of days, set an appointment and showed up promptly. He disassembled the clock, a recent purchase, and cleaned and lubricated the movement. Two of the three chimes were no longer working. He got them all working without replacing any parts or upcharging the quoted repair price. He explained in some detail the working of the clock and showed some play in the movement that demonstrated wear. He advised that the clock should not require regular service for another three years, but that the movement would wear out at some point. Fortunately the same movement is still being manufactured and it can easily be replaced. He suggested that, if the clock begins to fail, I should be prepared to call and ask for the movement to be replaced. By doing so I will be saved the cost of a home visit to diagnose the problem, and a second service call to replace the movement. I appreciated this advice as it's likely to save me money in the future. Definitely recommend this business. Fair, transparent pricing, and no nonsense.

Description of Work: I inherited my grandparents' 45-year-old clock and transported it about 1000 miles to our home, but had no idea what it needed or how to operate it. Mr. Tucker took it apart and cleaned it, and gave me a lesson in setting it, winding it, adjusting the pendulum, and maintaining it. Just from listening to it tick he guessed that it might not keep good time. He was right! It does lose a little time, but a repair would cost several hundred dollars. For now I'm content to move the hand ahead a few minutes every week, but we'll call Mr. Tucker if we ever decide to do the repair.

Mr. Tucker returned my phone call promptly, a day after I left him a voicemail, and he was able to do the work that afternoon. He arrived precisely when he said he would: like clockwork. He was considerate, called me "Mrs____" and performed a service that is growing harder to find. I totally recommend him.
Description of Work: Trevor Tucker paid a housecall to get my French comtoise clock working again after a move. He adjusted it, set the lead weights, oiled the parts, re-positioned the case and balanced it.

All went very well. Service was quite involved-oiling, adjusting, realigning, etc. Fellow was prompt, polite, and did an excellent job. I have used him in the past-will only use him in the future.

Description of Work: I have a homemade grandfather clock that has not been running well.Called him today, got an appointment same day. He gave me estimate. Showed up on time. Serviced the clock and told me if this did not work, what else may be needed with estimate. Gave truthful answer on when next maintenance to be done (not next year like previous company)! Would recommend and use again!

Mr. Tucker was very knowledgable about grandfather clocks and took the time to explain various aspects to me so that I would be able to maintain it, adjust the speed of the clock, if necessary, turn the chimes off, if desired, etc. He was professional in all respects and phoned to advise that he was running late when it was clear he would not be on time. I would have no reservation in recommending him to friends.

First I called on 9/6/11 to schedule an appointment and was able to get one the next day. I had called repair shops closer to my home and would never get a call back or they said they would come on such and such a day and then never show up. Trevor Tucker set up an appt for the next day and said that he would be there between 1 and 3 pm. He did call in the afternoon to say that he would be there around 3pm but kept getting diverted due to road closures from the rain. He did arrive around 3:10pm. He took the front door off the clock, laid it gently on the floor then removed the pendulums and put them on the floor. He examined the clock, oiled what needed to be oiled and did get the clock running again, showed me what to do if the clock starts to lose time. He told that if the clock stops running again it may need a part that costs about $600 but a new clock would run me over two grand. Trevor was there about an hour and was very polite and courteous.
Description of Work: My mother's grandfather clock was not keeping time and the pendulums would not swing.

Went very well, though he was a little late. He did call to let me know he was delayed.....I was a little impatient because I had to return to work. He worked quickly, cleanig the clock, then leveling and reseting everything, including the chimes. The clock works well now. I was a little suprisd at how much the service cost, but have little to compare it with. Overall a good experience, and I will call him again if the clock needs service.
Description of Work: Cleaned and reset/ leveled clock after it had been moved and subjected to smoke.. Clock works well now. Very good service, but I was surprised at the cost.
