This gentleman is experienced, conversant, knowledgeable and a terrific representative of a declining select group of artisans. He followed up with a voice mail left for him regarding our clock problem. Unfortunately, we played phone tag a couple of times. With that resolved, he responded in a very reasonable time with a service call to our home and had the clock up and running cleaned and serviced within an hour. Pricing was very fair and I have no reservations with highly recommending him for similar situations. Although I initially found him through other online searches, I did find him subsequently on Angie's List so I am leaving my comments here for other members.
Description of Work: 25 year old grandfathers clock stopped running. This is a vibrant piece of our household.

Mr. Sease was very responsive--returned calls promptly. He originally said it might be 3-4 weeks before he was in my neighborhood (which was fine), but came within a week. Price was reasonable, especially for wall clock.

Mr Sease spent a good amount of time working on my Grandfather Clock & got it working. He would not charge me anything because he said it was a temporary fix. There was a part that would eventually break and he wasn’t sure how long it would work. I told him, when it broke again I would pay the price to have it fixed and he is going to be watching out for the parts. I will use him again & when the clock breaks again, I will call Tim Sease.

Mr. Sease was professional and timely (no pun intended). He cleaned, oiled and set up the clock. It needed time to run before synching with the correct time. Mr. Sease would not accept payment until that had been confirmed and the job complete. Less than 24 hours later, the clock was running perfectly.
Description of Work: I had a grandfather clock that was shipped to me from Oregon after my mom died. It had not been in working order for a number of years, and it was shipped in parts, so the chains and weights needed to be installed and the timing set to proper working order.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! He had the clock for over a year and not a thing was done. Every time I reached out to Mr Sease he had a different excuse. The clock was returned today and it could not even be put back together. Absolutely heart broken. Today's excuse was to blame a friend who does the wood work. Every call has been a different excuse. Do Not Use For Any Type of Clock Repair!

Tim arrived at time promised, dressed neat and clean. I asked him about his background and experience. He gave me all the details of his experience (43 years) and explained he is always busy, mostly with previous customers. Once he started working, he explained every step and action. After reassembling the clock, he put it through a complete operational check. He answered every question I had. He cleaned up after the service and the room was returned to it's original condition. I am totally satisfied with the total service

Tim arrived on time and got right to work in setting up our clock and showing us how to adjust it. We have only needed him one other time to adjust the timing on our clock in the 23 years we have owned it. When he came the second time, he polished the weights and checked for any necessary cleaning. He checked out a couple of parlor clocks we have in our home and adjusted them accordingly. We are extremely happy to recommend him.
Description of Work: We purchased a Howard Miller grandfather clock 23 years ago in Tennessee. When it was delivered I called Howard Miller to find out the person they recommended in our area to set it up. They recommended Tim. He set up our clock and showed us how to adjust it if ever needed. In 23 years he has only been called one other time to help me with the timing on our clock. His service and knowledge cannot be duplicated or beaten as far as we are concerned. We cannot imagine ever calling anyone else for our clock.

While my husband was deployed with the Army, we moved into temporary quarters in an aparment and all our stuff was in storage. The grandfather clock never worked when we got it out of storage. We took it to a local clock repair, and he cleaned it and got it working, but after returning back home...... it didn't run. I looked for a clock repairman who would make housecalls and Mr. Sease fit the bill. I called him and made an appointment for several days later. He arrived, spent about 45 minutes tinkering with the insides of the clock, and got it working. After almost 5 years of missing the comforting and quot;dongsand quot; of the clock, it is working...... and working great!!!! He even called about 4-5 days later to make sure the timing was set correctly and the clock was keeping the correct time. It was and he even set the phase of the moon!!! I have now found MY clock repair person--- he was professional, educated me about routine maintenance, how often the clock needed to be cleaned (about 5 years) and what kind of oil to use. Hey, if he an keep the clocks in downtown Columbia on Main Street running--- that was a vote of confidence!!!! I would highly recommend him!!!!!!

Mr. Sease did his work in a competent professional manner. However, I have not been able to get in touch with him for months to come back and do some follow-up repair. I had to use another clock repair service since I could not get Tim to return my phone calls. This is a shame, as he's a very good watch and clock repairman.
Description of Work: Grandfather clock (tall case) repair. Mr. Sease was asked to evaluate and repair (if possible) an antique grandfather clock which I inherited from a relative.
