I contacted Nick through another business and arranged for him to look at our 35 year old Ridgeway…read moreGrandfather clock. Nick arrived on time, explained a little bit about how he approaches the repair, what the cost might be and what worst case scenarios would be, and I let him go to work. Of the 35 years we've owned it, it only was running, intentionally, for maybe 15 years, so there was not a lot of wear and tear. Nick went through the entire clockworks, reattached weights, went through all the chime and moon sequences, then synced the pendulum to keep time within a tight specification with the use of some sort of electronic device (I did not get the name). He cleaned and lubricated the clock workings, and was probably done within an hour. His fee was extremely reasonable, 1/5 the amount of the highest bid that I had received to date. Finally, Nick is personable and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Just be careful, he seems nice enough, just be careful, get everything in WRITTING. I have to keep learning these lessons.

I have a 30" Timeworks rustic antique-like clock that I had purchased at Antique Trove in Roseville…read morea few years ago. Unfortunately, the hour hand broke when resetting the time after Daylight Savings ended a few weeks ago. Not certain if it could be repaired, I brought it into Michael's Clocks. Michael checked it out and right away determined that the shaft of the quartz movement was broken and that I would need to replace it with a "high torque" quartz movement due to the large size of the minute and hour hands. I tried to pay him but Michael would not accept any money. I was able to find a high-torque quartz movement on Amazon for $23.99! Thank you, Michael!
