Description of Work: The wooden piece was not reattached. The hour hand still dangles. They supposedly cleaned the works, but judging from all the dust on the inside of the case, I don't think they did anything.

When you repair a clock that's almost 100 years old, sometimes things go wrong as time goes by. This clock worked fine, and there were no complaints for six weeks. Had she contacted us we would have made her more than satisfied; as we have done for our other 95 straight A satisfied Angie's List Customers. No matter how hard we try, we just can't please everyone.

Description of Work: Took my antique mantel clock in. Needed major work including new chime bars and a good cleanup. They did everything necessary and stuck to their original quote even though they found additional work that needed to be performed. They also provided a 1 year guarantee which I had to use a month later for something that had been unforeseen earlier. They were very kind about the new repair and did not charge for the work. Their service, kindness and honesty are something seldom seen these days. I will continue to use Paul's for all of my clock repair and highly recommend them to others.

Description of Work: They cleaned my grandfather clock that is over a hundred years old. They weren't able to fix it in my home and told me, up front, they might not be able to do so. Very professional and will let them take the timing mechanism to their place of business once I save up enough for that repair. I knew this could possibly be an expensive repair and am happy to find someone whose expertise I can trust.

Description of Work: We have a grandfather clock which hadn't been cleaned for 20 years or more. Paul took it apart, took it back to his office, cleaned and oiled it, got it running like it was new, and returned the works and set it up in the cabinet again. Now it works beautifully.

Description of Work: Paul and his wife were excellent! Because we were moving, our grandfather's clock and wall clock had to be disassembled and then set up in our new house. They also refurbished our 100 year old bim-bam mantel clock. All 3 clocks work beautifully and keep excellent time!

[member name removed] - I'm sorry to inform you that you've given a Review to the wrong Clock Repair person. We never purchased a clock from you, and we do not work on Monday's (May 12th, 2014). If you check your records, you will see that we have never done business with you. But if you need help in the future, let us know and we'll be glad to be of assistance.

Wonderfully, see above.
Description of Work: Our family clock which is over 100 years old had stopped working. Paul and his wife came to our home and were able to get it running again. The time and care they took to assess and fix our family heirloom was priceless. Paul explained everything and treated the clock like it was his own. Any one who owns an old clock knows that it is a part of the family and Paul and his wife really appreciated our clocks significance to us. Thanks to them, our clock has its heartbeat back.

Description of Work: My wall clock was not performing as I thought it should. I had to wind it every day in order for the chimes to work. When I first got the clock I would only have to wind it once a week. I called Paul's clock repair and they suggested that it most likely just needed cleaning. I took it to them, they said that if anything else needed done they would call me. They thought that extra work would be highly unlikely. They called me when the service was done. Just the cleaning and oil. I bought it home and it was not much better. I thought I'd give it some time, got involved in other things. I stopped winding it and using it. I called Paul's Clock Repair several months later and was told that some clocks needed to be wound several times a week. Finally I call the manufacturer. They told me that I was not winding it tight enough. That I should wind it till I could not wind and further. They said I could not over-wind. Since following the manufacturer's advice the clock is working as it should. I am not sure if Paul's Clock Repair could have told me of this. I'm sure that the cleaning did not hurt, but not sure if it was needed.

Response from Paul's Clock Repair
When customer picked up his wall clock, he was informed to wind the clock fully. Not just until the springs start to get tight. He insisted that he had the clock for 10 years, and he knew what to do. In order not to be confrontational, we said fine! When he callled and complained that the clock wasn't working right, we asked him if he was winding it fully. He said: Yes! We told him he had a one year guarantee on the clock, and if he wasn't satisfied, to please bring it back, and we would surely make it right. Instead he called Howard Miller Clock Company, and they informed him that the clock would not work properly if it was not wound fully. At that point, he wound the clock fully, and the clock has been running fine ever since.

My experience was great. Paul's workshop is out of the house. He met me promptly for drop off and pickup. I understand he does house calls for grandfather clocks. He provided an accurate estimate of the costs. The repairs were done in about 10 days. The clock, which never chimed the hour and which had its chime sequence off, now works flawlessly. If you are looking for a master clock-smith with fair price, then Paul is the best choice I ever found in the Pittsburgh area.
Description of Work: Paul cleaned the clock, polished the wood case and fixed the chimes.
