Arrangements were made to drop off the lamp, and I picked it up the next day. It was finished within 2 hours after I dropped it off, but I couldn't go back after it that evening. Everything is working as it should.
Description of Work: I called and made arrangements to drop off a lamp that I needed back quickly as it is the only reading lamp in that room. The 3 way switch was no longer working.

After searching the list for lamp repair, I chose Gil's Lamp Repair from all the reports I'd read. Phoned him and told him the problem. He said it sounded like he could fix it right away. I dropped off the lamp and had a call from him in less than two hours. The lamp was repaired, and he had also replaced a three-way switch that wasn't working properly. I had no obtained an estimate, but from the reports I'd read online, I thought it would be reasonable. It was. The ceramic lamp was repaired-all the metal parts replaced and rewired-plus new felt was added to the base. Works very well. He was as good as his promise. The price was right. And he was professional and efficient. All service workers should be so customer-oriented. Kudos for Gil.
Description of Work: Lamp had been knocked off table and most of the metal pieces were bent or broken. Gil repaired it at a very reasonable cost very quickly.

Read about Gill's Lamp Repair in the Angie's List magazine. Called and left message on his home phone (not identified as Gill's Lamp Repair). He returned the call promptly and we made arrangements for me to get the lamp to him. I left it at his home with a note attached indicating color of cord and plug desired. He did the work that evening and called with a report. In addition to replacing the cord and plug as requested, he placed a rod up the stein which stabilized the stein lid and eliminated the knot in the cord at the base. Mr. Gill resides near Glendale Mall and I live on the southwest side. Had I known the repair would be done so quickly I would have asked to arrange a time to bring the lamp and wait while he did the work.
Description of Work: Inherited a stein lamp from my Dad's estate. Wanted the cord and plug replaced for safety and for color change.

He did great work and he did more than was necessary. He really went the extra mile for us and he didn't charge us any extra. I would recommend him to others.
Description of Work: We took a lamp to get repaired at another place, and Gil looked at it and felt that there were some safety hazards. He fixed them all.

He consulted on cost and options. He arrived on time and completed additional repairs as promised.
Description of Work: Gil came to our house and repaired several old lamps. He did a marvelous job, and his charges were very reasonable. It was especially helpful that he came to the house. His repairs enabled us to use some lamps that had great sentimental value but were potentially hazardous if left as they were.

Gil performed the work very quickly. I dropped the lamp off at his home, and he called me that evening to tell me the repair was completed. I called a few days later to arrange a time to pick up the lamp. I picked it up on Gil's breezeway, since he was not home. A very smooth, easy repair!

Excellent job. I contacted Gil by phone, was directed to leave the lamps on his breezeway, and received a phone call from him with estimate that evening. He did the work the next day, gave me a phone call in the middle of the day explaining that the charge for the finished work was a little more than the estimate due to his having to replace switches in both lamps. Picked up finished lamps on breezeway and left check. Very satisfied with repair, which was so speedy, as promised, and so convenient for drop-off and pick-up. Most satisfied with good old-fashioned promptness and taking ownership for quality of repair. These were quality lamps were well worth repairing and should now last forever.

I had a bathroom wall fixture that had the bulb bases fused into their sockets due to high heat (and they were burned out so I couldn't remove them). I thought I'd have to replace the entire fixture, but I took it to him and he replaced the old sockets with new ceramic sockets.

Great! Mr. Bunton wasn't home when we called to inform him that we were leaving the lamp, so we didn't even know if he was in town. Nevertheless, he had called the house to say he was done before we'd even made it home from running errands. He even thanked us for using his services.

I dropped the lamp off at Mr. Bunton's house. He actually called later that day and it was ready. This lamp was rather old and he went above and beyond what I thought it needed - to my delight! Great service and a fair price.

Gil is extremely knowledgeable and professional. His prices are fair, but most of all, he is fast.
Description of Work: I had two lamps that needed to be rewired. The first lamp was a soft metal and the opening for the wiring was very narrow. I spent all of January trying to get a cord through and finally gave up. I took the lamp to Gil and within an hour he called me and said the lamp was repaired. The second lamp was a French porcelain and needed rewiring and new parts.

Gil invited us to bring him our lamp that we thought needed to be repaired. He took one look and knew the problem: since it's a mogal bulb and an antique lamp sometimes the threads need a little lubrication. He sprayed a little WD-40 on the threads of the bulb, screwed it the socket, and it worked! He was kind enough to not charge us for his expertise. Great advice, great service.
