GIL FINISHED THE FLOOR LAMP REPAIR IN ONE DAY. NOW THE GLOBE DOESN'T WOBBLE ANY MORE. THE FLOOR LAMP TOOK A LITTLE LONGER, BUT STILL ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE POT METAL BREAK IS BARELY VISIBLE, AND THE OTHER REPAIRS, WHICH GIL DID, MAKE THIS A MUCH MORE VERSATILE LAMP THAN IT WAS BEFORE. I AM EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS. GIL ALSO RECOMMENDED A SHADE MAKER SO I WON'T HAVE TO PUT THE RATTY OLD SHADE BACK ON SUCH A NICE LAMP. I CAN RECOMMEND GIL WITHOUT RESERVATION.
Description of Work: A FLOOR LAMP WAS REWIRED AND THE TOP STABILIZED TO HOLD THE GLOBE STEADY. A TABLE LAMP WAS AN OLD ONE WITH FOUR ARMS FOR THE BULBS. ONE OF THESE BROKE AS I PUT IT INTO MY CAR, SO THAT NEEDED REPAIR AS WELL AS THE WIRING AND SWITCH. GIL KNEW SOMEONE WHO COULD DO THE POT METAL REPAIR, AND GIL HIMSELF DID THE REWIRING. HE CHANGED THE SWITCH TO A 3-WAY TO LIGHT 1, 3, OR 4 BULBS AT A TIME. HE ALSO PAINTED THE STEM HOLDERS WHICH WERE BADLY IN NEED OF IT. HE ALSO PUT NEW FELT ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS VERY HEAVY LAMP.

HE WAS POLITE, KIND AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. WE ULTIMATELY DECIDED NOT TO SALVAGE THE FIXTURE RIGHT NOW, BUT FEEL MUCH SAFER AND COMFORTABLE WITH OUR DECISION WITH GIL'S EXPERTISE. WE'LL DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN.
Description of Work: GIL WAS HONEST ABOUT THE CONDITION OF OUR VINTAGE CHANDELIER AND GAVE US SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR SAFELY REWIRING AND THE PRICES FOR EACH. HE TOOK IT APART AND INSPECTED ALL THE WIRING IN EACH ARM.

IT WAS CONVENIENT TO DROP MY LAMP OFF ON MY OWN SCHEDULE, BECAUSE THE OWNER WORKS OUT OF HIS HOME. HE WAS VERY PROMPT IN CALLING ME TO ASK QUESTIONS, (EVEN ON A WEEKEND), AND IN COMPLETING THE REPAIR WORK.
Description of Work: HE REPLACED THE SOCKET AND SWITCH (I BELIEVE), AND THE CORD. BECAUSE I LEFT THE LAMP WITHOUT TALKING TO HIM, HE CALLED AND MADE SURE HE REPLACED THE SWITCH TO A THREE WAY ONE, AND ASKED MY CHOICE OF COLOR CORDS.
