+ -1 moreHarold is an absolute professional and working with him was a joy. We were remodeling our home built in 1937 and the original crystal chandelier in the dining room had damaged wiring and was just dull and lifeless. Harold dissaembled, cleaned, and completely rewired it. Originally we questioned whether we should just replace the fixture. We are so glad we did not. Harold turned our ugly duckling fixture back into the beautiful swan she always was proving beauty knows no age.

lamp repair
+ -1 moreHarold did an amazing job! I inherited a lamp that belonged to my great-great-grandmother that needed a new cord, new wiring and new sockets. Harold was upfront about the time it would take given his other customers in line ahead of me (which he stuck to). Lamp looks great and Harold was pleasant to work with! Would highly recommend! An fyi -- he works out of his own workshop. It is not a storefront, so you will need to plan a time to drop off and pick up your lamps!

+ -1 moreI can't say enough glowing words about Harold. He repaired my two favorite antique lamps which I thought no one could do. They were done in one week! He cleaned them and made them look better than when I dropped them off for repair. His rates are very reasonable and more than fair. And best of all, he is a blast to talk to. There aren't many like him left, and I would shout from the rooftops how great he is at lamp repair (and what a nice man he is as well).

+ 0 moreMr. Cates was so nice and fixed my chandelier when it looked pretty impossible. This is a large metal chandelier- type candelabra that was on a metal stand until the light was broken off in my move. The point where the light attached to the stand had been bent and was a mess. Thanks to Mr. Cates, It is whole again and the repair job is amazing. I think Mr. Cates is magic when it comes to lamps! He did a lot of painstaking work to fix this chandelier for me and his price was more than fair.

+ -1 moreI had two lamps that needed repair. I fear that one was beyond repair. I made an appointment with Mr. Cates, took the lamps over and he assessed the damage. He told me he would have them finished in two weeks, but they were done in a bit over one week. It was a pleasure working with someone so knowledgeable, who so takes so much joy in his work. Thanks Angie's List for brining this dedicated craftsman to my attention. I'e since passed his name on to several friends and neighbors.

+ 0 moreMr.Cates is a delightful man to do business with. He is creative and passionate about what he does. He can make a lamp out of almost anything. I appreciate his attention to detail and his determination to present a product back to the customer better than he found it. This man is at the top of my vendor list!
Description of Work: I wanted my parents chandelier from the 1960's re wired so I could place it in my house. Mr. Cates told me he would clean it up from top to bottom, polish it, re wire it and put new candle covers and sockets on each of the light fixtures. He painstakingly took the entire fixture apart and polished each crystal and the antique brass. He then rewired the fixture and put it all back together.
