Description of Work: We used them to repair a lamp that was no longer working. The staff was friendly and they returned the lamp within a few days. I would use them again to repair any lamps that needed service.

I was actually referred to Brady's not for their lamps, but for electroplating. I was remodeling an outdated bathroom with a jettted tub that still had brass fixtures. The tub's maker no longer made jets for the tub so I was unable to simply swap out colors. A business in Round Rock which specializes in resurfacing tubs referred me to Brady's. That I'm aware of they are the only ones in the area who do electroplating. While it wasn't cheap, they did a great job in matching the bronze color of my new bathroom fixtures. All I had to do was drop off the items at their store. I am very happy that no one would ever be able to tell what old shiny gold brass once existed in my bathroom!
Description of Work: Electroplate some gold brass bathtub jets.

They gave me no phone calls to tell me when the lamp was ready. They said it would take a couple days and I didn't get a call for 7 days. They said it would be $15-20, and it ended up being $50. They're overpriced and undependable.
Description of Work: They repaired a switch on the lamp.

Having received a good recommendation for Brady's to refinish the hardware, we took it there first thing Friday morning. They were able to refinish the hardware and have the job completed by early afternoon the same day. (With the hardware gone, our front door was unlocked until its return. Timing was critical.) The hardware now looks better than new. We couldn't be happier with the result. You can tell that the people at Brady's take great pride in their workmanship.
Description of Work: After refinishing our front door, it was clear that our weather beaten door hardware needed help. The antique brass finish was a complete mess. The brass hardware was refinished quickly and returned to our front door on the same day.
