- How long will this watch or clock repair take?
Usually two weeks. When the estimate is made, I will try to identify any circumstance (such as ordering parts) which might extend the normal turn around time. - What parts of my Grandfather clock will you need to take?
I will only need the movement, dial, weights, and pendulum. - Do you also make house calls for small clocks?
Generally, no. However under special circumstances I will make a pickup and delivery of a small clock but there is an extra $50.00 fee for this service. - How long is the warranty?
One year. - How well will my grandfather clock keep time after it is repaired?
Usually weight driven grandfather clocks will keep time to plus or minus 30 seconds a day. - How often should my grandfather clock have comprehensive service?
I recommend that this be performed about every five years. - How far will you travel to service a grandfather clock?
I try to limit the travel distance to 35 miles from my shop. As a rule this will amount to about three hours of driving time to perform a comprehensive service. (see the map on the navigation menu). - Why does the spring on the right side of my Westminster chime clock wind so hard?
Many Westminster chime clocks require a stronger spring to run the quarter hour chimes properly. The same is true of many grandfather clocks which require a heavier weight on the right hand side of the clock.
