Expert Grandfather and Grandmother Clock Repair. Specializing in modern (those with German-made mechanisms that were manufactured after 1960) grandfather and grandmother clocks. From that little grandmother clock you or a family member purchased in a furniture store in the 1960s, to that large, ornate, and beautiful grandfather clock that you bought in the 1980s or 1990s (and anything in between or after), I can repair most grandfather clock models that were manufactured in the last 40 to 50 years. I also service the "kit" clocks that many people built and assembled themselves in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s from published plans and do-it-yourself "kits".

Dedication. Full-service modern grandfather and grandmother clock repair, full-time. Grandfather clock repair (and performing house calls) is not my hobby, not my sideline, and is not an afterthought at my shop. I offer factory-style, expert grandfather clock repair, and have invested in the tools, equipment, parts inventory, and the full-size service van required to repair grandfather clocks properly and quickly, on the road.

Extensive Inventory. Brand new, factory-genuine repair parts imported from Germany, in stock, for most grandfather clock models made since 1960, at all times. Replacement mechanisms, weights, pendulums, dials, numerals, parts, accessories, and hardware, are kept right on hand, in stock, for use in repairs. In fact I stock the largest inventory of replacement grandfather clock mechanisms and components and accessories in the Boston area. In most cases, I will have the parts needed to repair your clock (a new mechanism) or upgrade its appearance (new pendulum, new weights, etc.) either at my shop, or right on-board my service van.

Experience. In fact, a lifetime of experience in the grandfather clock business: I learned the business not from a book or a video tape, but from my father as I grew up. In the 1970s and 1980s, while my young peers were watching television and playing video games (or worse), I was usually in the basement of our home, in my Dad's watch and clock shop, learning the clock repair business from him. I also traveled "on the road" with him repairing grandfather clocks on house calls, starting before I was a teenager.

I want to repair your grandfather clock. I welcome the opportunity to serve you, while some shops in the area will view your "house call request" as an inconvenience. My willingness to make house calls to repair grandfather clocks, and my outright solicitation of the grandfather business in the Boston area, set me apart from many other clock repair shops in northeastern Massachusetts. As such, I invite you to please inquire about a house call. My experience, technical expertise, and parts inventory for modern grandfather clocks have become unmatched in the Boston area, and my fast, reliable, and no-nonsense approach to "house calls" set me apart from many other shops in the area.

Fast, dependable service. Grandfather repairs are generally completed in one day, several days, or at most, a few weeks. No long waits, no hassles, no problems, no headaches, and no disappointment. Some shops require months, or even years, for repairs that ought to take a day, a week, or a month.

2-YEAR guarantee on complete repairs. The guarantee covers everything: parts, labor, and house calls. In terms of time and coverage, that's the best guarantee on grandfather clock repair offered in the Boston area.

Reliability. Repaired grandfather clocks are as good as new, and they work properly. They don't "sort of work", and they don't "sometimes work", THEY WORK ... period! In fact, after I've repaired grandfather clocks, they do what they're supposed to do, and do it properly and consistently (as well as they did when they were new).

If you've ever been told by other shops that modern grandfather clocks "can't be repaired", or that they're "junk", or have ever paid a so-called "clock repair man" or a "jeweler" to try to "fix" your grandfather clock, and were disappointed in either him, or in the results he provided (or both), then please consider using my services. Let me show you what a real clock repair shop can do, using factory-style repair methods and genuine factory parts (and let me show you how fast it can be done). I consider myself the best grandfather clock repair shop in the Boston area for the servicing of modern (post 1960) clocks, and with the advent of the Internet and the exposure it provides, I am pleased to be able to offer my grandfather clock repair services to residents of eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire more broadly than I was able to do prior.

Grandfather clock and grandmother clock house calls, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

• Do you make house calls? Absolutely. I do make house calls for grandfather and grandmother clocks.
   
• Are house calls free? No, there is a minimum charge for house calls, and the exact cost depends on the time and distance you are from Woburn, MA.
   
• How much does a house call cost? I do not post prices on the Internet. Please call me, and I'd be most happy to present my house call charges to you. The shop phone number is on my contact page. During the phone call, I will describe in detail the services I provide, explain what you can expect from my services and from your clock, and will answer any questions you may have. An appointment can be scheduled at that time, if you so choose.
   
• When can you come to my home (or office)? Days, early evenings, and Saturdays or Sundays, subject to my availability and at a time that is convenient to both of us. Major holidays are days on which I am not available.
   
• Do you charge extra for weekend or early-evening appointments? No, of course not.
   
• Can I bring my clock to you? Please do not bring grandfather clocks, or their components, into the shop. I repair them by House Call Only and request that you not bring them or ship them here. Please inquire about a house call if you would like your grandfather or grandmother clock repaired.
   
• Will you travel to my town? If you're in eastern or central Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, northern Rhode Island, or northeastern Connecticut, then, yes I will.
   
  • My service area includes the City of Boston, MA, and cities and towns north, south, and west of Boston including towns in southern and southeast New Hampshire.
     
    I have traveled as far west as the Ware and Barre Mass. areas; as far north as the Manchester NH area; into and throughout southeast Massachusetts; to the Worcester and Fitchburg MA areas; to the central Massachusetts towns that border New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Connecticut; and to the Fall River/New Bedford areas. Business from the Providence and Cumberland RI areas is also welcomed.
     
    If you're interested in a house call, or would like to inquire as to whether I will travel to your city or town, please inquire via my contact page. (If you don't think you're within my service area, please inquire, instead of simply assuming that I won't).
     
    
  • Note for House Calls in the city of Boston and other "city" neighborhoods: there must be a place for me to park. If you do not have a driveway spot available, then I must have available to me a free, nearby (not more than a block or two away), and easily-accessible parking space (on street, parking garage, or otherwise), that's large enough for a large cargo van. I regret that if you cannot ensure me a free, nearby, and easily-accessible parking space that's big enough to accommodate my van (and from which I will not be towed), then I will be unable to make a house call into your city neighborhood.
     
• Can you repair my grandfather clock? I specialize in "modern" grandfather and grandmother clocks that contain modern, German-made mechanisms, such as those that are being manufactured today, and those that are sold today in clock stores, furniture stores, at retail discounters, and online. Also, I repair clocks that were sold in clock shops and furniture stores in the last 40-45 years; and also the homemade "kit" clocks . So if your clock was bought, or built from a kit, anytime after about 1960 (and right through to the present), then chances are, yes, I can repair it.
   
• My clock was made before 1960. Can you repair it? If its mechanism was made in Germany in the 1950s, then, perhaps yes, but I would need to see it to confirm. But please note that I do not repair "antique" grandfather clocks, or antique "tall case" or "hall" clocks, such as clocks from England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, America, etc. which date from the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s. These clocks are neither my area of specialty, nor my business focus. I also do not repair Hershede hall clocks, or Hershede "grandfather" clocks.
   
• How can you repair my clock in just one day? I have brand new clock mechanisms, in stock, in my service van, for many grandfather clocks made since 1960. This means that many grandfather clocks can be repaired by me in just one house call, with the parts I carry right in my vehicle, by entirely replacing the non-running mechanism in the clock with a brand new one.
   
• I thought grandfather clocks were supposed to last forever. Do they? Unfortunately, no. Modern grandfather clocks, if operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, have a life expectancy of about 10-15 years before developing major internal mechanical problems and failing to run, or to run well. Sometimes they can last as long as 25-30 years before failing, but this is rare; usually they're worn out and in need of major repairs or replacement by the time they reach age 15. So if your grandfather clock is 10-15 years old (or more), and it's not running properly or at all, this is completely normal and is caused by normal wear-and-tear. Generally, the best "repair" is to replace the mechanism with a new one, and I invite you to inquire about doing so, and about a house call. I stock most mechanisms, brand new from Germany, either at my shop or right in my service van.
