About us

I did all the repairs for "Clock World of Florida" since 1999. When they closed in October of 2009, I went on my own. I am the entire company, and I enjoy the work. Check my web page for my history.

Description of Work: I have an older grandfather clock that had not been working for quite a few years. I called Fred to set up an appointment to repair the clock. He arrived on time and was very professional. He was able to repair my clock as well as an additional older coo-coo clock which also needed repair. I was pleased with the fairness of his service fee and will definitely call him again when I need a clock repaired.

Description of Work: I've called several times and left a message. An appt was made and no one showed up. I've called to see if he was on his way, no response. I've called several times after and he never returned my call to schedule a time for service to my custom made German grandfather clock. I needed to have the cables re-connected during the move the cable sipped off. He said it was an easy job except he never did the work. | |Does anyone know of another clocksmith; I love my clock and would love to get it working again. | |Thank you

Description of Work: Called Fred to replace a missing hand on our Sligh wall clock. Decided to go ahead and have him complete a tuneup since we have moved several times since we got the clock and have never had anyone work on it. He did a great job. I know the clock will run well for years to come.

I called Fred from Angie's List to repair my in-laws' grandfather clock. He came out, took out the mechanisms needing refurbishing and returned to replace the mechanisms in less than the two weeks he estimated the job would take. The clock runs like new and my in-laws are thrilled! The job was expertly done and the $175 cost was more than reasonable.
Description of Work: Our in-laws have a grandfather clock that kept losing time. Fred came to their house, removed the interior mechanisms and took them to his shop for repair. He cleaned and replaced the bushings and returned the clock to like-new condition.

I called Fred Kraus on Wed, and he came out on Thurs exactly at the time agreed upon. He was very clean and orderly. He put paper down on the rug before putting his tool box down, and got right to work dismanteling the clock. Found out the problem and fixed it in about 30 minutes,and agreed to make a yearly call at my request. Fred left no reminants of having been here except a clock in good working order. I would recommend him to anyone. He charged just $65. I feel this was very reasonablre.
Description of Work: My Grandfather clock hadent worked for yoars, and Fred put it back in good working order. It's a pleasure to hear it chime again

I called Fred, after explaining the problem he said he could fix it so we made an appointment for the following day. Fred arrived on time. He was professional, experienced, knowledgeable, friendly and the price was very reasonable. I certainly would use Fred's Clock Repair again and would recommend him to family and friends. Fred's Clock Repair has a website: www.fredsclockrepair.com

We contacted Freds clock repair to inquire about having our Grandfather clock cleaned and tuned. Fred gave us an estimate on the work requested and we found the price to be well within our price range. We set up a time for him to come to the house and look at the clock and to give us a firm price. He arrived at the scheduled time and checked the clock. We had him do the work which included cleaning the works,lubrication of parts and adjusting the clock. The work was all done on site and in just a short time the clock was working like new. The price was ritght and the work was well done. We will use Freds Clock repair in the future and will recommend him to our friends .

My father's grandfather clock had not been working for over a year. Since I live in Connecticut it is difficult to take care of these type of repairs long-distance. That's why I joined Angie's List in Orlando. Now I have a source to go to when I need to take care of problems that come up for my dad who refuses to live in the cold, cold North. Fred from Fred's Clock Repair was terrific with my dad. He took his time and explained the repair process, the timing and the cost. When I called him back and approved the cost he went back to my father's house and carefully wrapped up the clock works and took them away. Two weeks later he came back and installed everything back in order and made sure that the clock was working perfectly before leaving the house. Needless to say my father was very impressed, as was I. Fred assured my father that everything was fine but if anything we to happen he was not to hesitate to call him. Fred also called me in Connecticut when the work was completed.
Description of Work: I have an elderly father living in Orlando and I live in Connecticut. I found Fred's Clock Repair in a local newspaper and called him to ask if he would give me an estimate to fix my father's grandfather clock. He went to my father's home, called me with an estimate and after talking it over with my dad we decided to have the work done. Fred came back to the house and carefully took the clock mechanism out and completely overhauled the movements. My father (who is very picky) was very impressed with the way Fred handled the clock and Fred promised to have the work completed within two weeks. He returned in the stated time and the clock is working perfectly. My father is extremely happy with the results.
