They did a beautiful job. They also adapted it to hang from a chain and rewired it.

Description of Work: I had an antique floor lamp re-wired and brass plated. The process took a few months but the end result was better than I anticipated. The lamp looks great!

One of the sockets in an old lamp stopped working, and because it's one of a set and of better quality than what is available in the stores, I needed a repair job. I dropped the lamp off on a Thursday and it was ready to pick up on Saturday. The location is in Etna on Route 8, but there is plenty of parking so access is easy. The only draw back for some people might be the limited hours....4 to 7 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 10 to 4 on Saturday, but those hours worked for me.
Description of Work: Fixed a table lamp

When I brought in the lamp that needed the socket replaced, he said it would take about a week and that he would call me when done. Two weeks went by without a call so I contacted him and he told me that it was ready. When I arrived home with the lamp, I realized it was missing a shade (the lamp has several small shades). They eventually found it and there was no problem. Other then that my experience was pretty good. He does good work at a fair price. Still, the customer service could be better.
Description of Work: I went two times for minor repairs on two antique lamps. The first required a new switch, which he did right in front of me for $12. About two weeks later, I brought in a second lamp that needed the socket replaced. That cost $25

THIS GUY HAS REPAIRED OTHER LAMPS & FIXTURES FOR US BEFORE. HE STRIKES ME AS A TINKERER / A PUTTERER, WHO'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND KNOWS JUST EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING. HIS DIMLY LIT SHOP IS CLUTTERED WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPENSIVE OLD LAMPS AWAITING PICKUP, SO APPARENTLY THE COGNOSCENTI, THE DECORATIVE ARTS MAVENS AND THE INTERIOR DESIGN PROFESSIONALS KNOW WHERE TO GO WHEN AN ANTIQUE NEEDS LOVING CARE. AND THE PROPRIETOR IS REFRESHINGLY UN-''SLICK''! THEN TOO, YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS PRICE! WHILE HE HAS PLENTY OF PARKING IN THE LOT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HIS BUILDING, YOU HAVE TO BE SOUTH-BOUND ON ROUTE 8 TO GET INTO IT. IF YOUR COMING OUT ON RT. 8 FROM PITTSBURGH, TAKE THE ETNA EXIT LEFT AT THE LIGHT AND THEN AN IMMEDIATE RIGHT ONTO MT. ROYAL BLVD. NORTH-BOUND. AFTER SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS, THERE'S A HAIRPIN RIGHT TURN BACK ACROSS THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND THE CREEK. THIS WILL QUICKLY CONNECT TO SOUTH-BOUND ROUTE 8 IN FRONT OF THE RED BRICK BUILDING HOUSING HIS SHOP.
Description of Work: CHEAP SOCKET ON A RELATIVELY NEW CEILING FIXTURE HAD JAMMED - IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT A NEW BULB. AND TWISTING THAT SOCKET & BULB CAUSED THE ADJACENT SOCKET TO GO ON AND OFF, SO THE TWO WERE ELECTRICALLY ENTANGLED (SEEMED BAD TO ME -- A SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD?). SO WE TOOK THE FIXTURE DOWN AND TOOK IT TO HIS SHOP EXPECTING TO LEAVE IT FOR REPAIRS. INSTEAD HE FOUND A SOCKET SET IN A DRAWER SOMEWHERE AND, WHILE WE WATCHED, HE REWIRED THE WHOLE FIXTURE FOR US. IT NOW WORKS AS IT SHOULD'VE WHEN IT WAS NEW!
