Gil's Lamp Repair

He knew what he was doing and was very personable. He did good work! His prices were fair.

Mr. bunton is a rare find in today's business community...an honest man of integrity who takes great pride in this work. Thank you Angie's List, I would not have found him without your service and recommendation/customer reviews. He's my "lamp guy" and I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone that may need his services!

He secured the steam and replaced the original integrity of the finial. He did a wonderful job! He guaranteed his work and offered his phone number and business card if anything else were to come up. He really knows his work, takes pride and enjoyment in it as well. I am very pleased!

He was friendly and prompt.

When taking apart an antique chandelier I ran into problem when trying to unscrew a hanging loop from the shell caps of five electrical sockets of the chandelier. I tried everything to detach the metal loops from the socket caps but nothing helped. I finally contacted Gil's lamp repair to see if he could offer any suggestions on how I might get these loosened. Gil responded to my call promptly and asked if I could bring the lamp parts to him to look at so he could understand what problems I was having with them. We set a time for me to meet him at his work shop for that same afternoon. Gil was able to loosen three of the five socket caps with a magic tool he had but the remaining two sockets caps were too stripped for the tool to work. He didn't charge me for loosening the caps even though he spent some time getting them undone. Gil was very nice, knowledgeable, accommodating, and definitely someone I would recommend to anyone who needs a lamp or light fixture repaired.

He lives very close to me and had a breezeway I was able to drop the lamps off at. The provider called me the next day letting me know they were done already. The service was extremely fast and convenient. I was very happy.

Gil was fantastic - called me back promptly, and we made arrangements for me to drop off the lamps. He had them finished the same weekend! One lamp needed a new cord, two others needed new sockets and a part replaced so I could turn them on and off (I'd been plugging and unplugging them for years), and our Stickley touch torchiere hadn't been working for a while either (was plugging that in and out, too). So nice to have working lamps! I highly recommend Gil, and will definitely use him again.

Great job. Very responsive, polite and quite reasonable cost. I dropped off at his house as arranged on a Friday, and he actually had them done and called me later that day as I had hoped. Service PLUS ! Thank you Gil.

Besides replacing the 3-way switch on our pewter finish Stiffel lamp Mr Bunton offered to replace the original brown cord with a silver/gray cord and he reconstructed a new bottom/base for the lamp. The new silver/pewter cord is a big improvement over the original brown cord. We only asked for a new switch, but due to his suggestions, we also received a new cord and bottom/base. The lamp looks brand new and it is probably 25 years old. We are so very pleased. We dropped off the lamp at Mr. Bunton's home and he indicated he would call us when the lamp was ready for pickup. Within just 4 hours Mr. Bunton called to say that the lamp was ready for pick up. Mr. Bunton was very professional and pleasant to work with and it is quite obvious that he enjoys this type of repair work. We would certainly recommend him to anyone needing lamp repair.

I had two lamps that needed repair. One was a newer lamp that had been knocked off a table and the base fell off. Mr. Bunton replaced the cord and flimsy socket and put the lamp back together. The second lamp was a lamp I painted and reassembled myself with poor results. The cord was old, as well. Gil replaced the harp, changed the socket and cord and put the lamp back together so it looks brand new. Gil is very responsive, detailed, and extremely well skilled at lamp repair. He was very pleasant to work with and make it convenient for us to drop off the lamps and pick them up. I highly recommend him for lamp repairs and wish more people were just like him!

He promptly returned my initial call and arrangements were made to drop off the lamp. He fixed it within the day and it's working great! He's a treasure.

MY LAMP HAD A DEFECTIVE SWITCH. I DROPPED THE LAMP OFF AT GIL'S HOME AND HE FIXED IT PROMPTLY FOR PICK-UP. I THOUGHT HIS PRICE WAS VERY FAIR, AND THE LAMP WORKS PERFECTLY. I WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE HIM AGAIN.

Mr. Bunton is just great. This is the second lamp he's repaired for me, and they always work better.

He went above and beyond what we asked him to do, was prompt in making the repairs, and did an excellent job. He is a true professional.

I left a message for Mr. Bunton and he called me back the same day. We arranged a day that was convenient for me to drop off my lamp at his home and he explained exactly what he was going to do. He even made a suggestion of using a lighter colored cord to go with the lamp. He called me a couple hours later and the lamp was fixed! He is professional and friendly. He did a great job.

He responded to my call immediately, and the repair was completed in a day or two. It couldn't have been better service!

I have always been very fond of that lamp. About 2 yrs. after we purchased it it started to become loose. it takes i certain type of wrench or pliers to tighten it which I did not have.. We have babied that lamp since. When it started to lean I called Gil Burton and he said to bring it over but our schedules did not fit so he kindly made arraignments for me to drop it off. The next morning he called and said that it as done and told me that the charges were $27.00. He also apologized because he had to replace the electrical cord because it was chafed and twisted which pushed the cost up a little.

When our Stiffel lamp stopped working I knew that the three-way rotary switch at the base was probably broken and needed to be replaced. The Stiffel lamp is over 30 years old and I had great difficulty finding the needed replacement parts for the lamp.. Getting the needed replacement parts in Indianapolis was virtually impossible. I tried the Internet and because my order would be very small I would have been charged a rather large processing fee. I called Mr. Gil Bunton on Friday morning, June 7, 2013 because I knew, reading the Angie List reviews of his company that he would be at home that day. Five minutes after leaving a message for him, he returned my call and arranged for me to drop off the lamp immediately. After giving very detailed directions to his home, I met with him, he examined the lamp and told me what repairs were needed. He told me that the repairs would be done that evening or, in a worst case scenario, the next day. He called me back at 7:30 pm that day and told me that all lamp repairs had been completed and I picked up the lamp the next day. He told me to call him immediately if I had any further problems with the lamp. Mr. Bunton provides outstanding service and it is a distinct pleasure dealing with someone like him who does exactly what he says that he will do.

Honest...up front about problems with mid century lamp that I took to him. He did not waste my time or his trying to fix. I have it at another lamp repair place that said they could do...had since Jan. and still not fixed. Just hope I get it back! Would definitely take lamps to him again!!!

I left a message for Gil on Wednesday, January 2, received a return call the same day and my repair was completed two days later on Friday, January 4. Gil was very responsive, courteous and it was easy to schedule my repair. Previous reviews let me know that Fridays were the day he is able to work on items so I knew what to expect. Plus, my lamp is like new again!

It went well. I called him, made arrangements for a time to meet. He works out of his home. He told me how long it would take and cost and he stayed close to that.

He is only in on Fridays. You can leave your lamps, etc. at his residence. He will tell you the details of how to do this. It was a little far to drive, but worth it. He works for an lighting store and presumably has access to many parts.

Excellent service. Clear explanation of procedure.

I called him one day and took it to his place of business later that day. He gave us an exact price and it was ready the following day.One couldn't ask for better service. We will definitely call upon Gil for any lamp repair in the future.

Very responsive from returning my phone message (within an hour) to having work completed. Gil is very thorough in explanation of his work and values quality - rare concept in our "throway and buy new" society. Does lamp work at home. Most reasonable price. Would definitely return!
