Very well. The work was done quickly and for a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: An antique oil lamp had been modified to serve as an electric lamp, has three thin brass rods that support the upper part of the lamp. They had broken off an needed to be re-soldered.

What I needed were the correct pieces, and this is what Schnoabel's had. One of the staff said he'd be happy to do the work, he was the "lamp repair" guy. I ended up doing it myself so I can't talk to his work, but, they do have a broad selection of parts, and onsite expertise. Good luck!
Description of Work: I needed to replace the socket in a pair of custom sconces that were purchased from a craft store in Boston. The originals used a funky 4 pin socket that only worked with one specific CFL bulb.

Very professional. Very fast turn around. Diagnosed the problem and got it fixed in a hurry. Its just that they did a good jump with two lamps I'm having trouble with, two very old lamps.

Though in this instance, Schnabel's didn't have what I needed, it's my go-to place for hardware. I love the fact that it's independently owned and a neighborhood store. Its prices are no more than the big-box stores, the clerks know their stock and the needs of the customer, and it usually has what I need.
Description of Work: In this case, I was looking for casters for a rolling cart. They didn't have the size I needed.

Schnabels is a great hardware store in the tradition of small hardware stores. Staff is pleasant and always helpful. I was looking for a replacement pot lid and could find a suitable one in the big box stores. While looking at Schnabels, a staff member offered to fix the lid for me. It was ready the next day. Very good experience.

We went to Schnabel's today to see how the local hardware store is doing. The staff greeted us at the door, were very helpful and knowledgeable. They carry most standard items you would need for a DIY project around the house, and will also do some repairs there as well. Plus they carry lots of neat odds and ends. Today they had some homemade jams, handmade wood pens and wine stoppers, etc. My kids love to go b/c they also sell ice cream. :)
Description of Work: We purchased $160 worth of beautiful talavera pottery as well as some other odds and ends.

I purchased a pair of Stiffel lamps at an auction. One diffuser was missing. One of the lamps had had the brass on-off switch replaced with a ugly brown/black composite switch. I wanted it changed to look more like the original. I felt like both lamps needed rewiring and a general overhaul to be sure they were safe to use. My husband and I dropped the lamps off one weekend. We discovered that Schnabel's had diffusers in stock and at a better price than the ones I located online, particularly after shipping costs, so took one home with us that day. I got a call the end of the same week that the lamps were ready. When we picked them up everything was in order. The on-off switch was replaced with one that was remarkably similar to the original on the other lamp. The lamps were very sturdy to begin with and now I feel like they are safe to use as well. They have been in use in our living area since we brought them home.
Description of Work: I needed a diffuser for one lamp. One lamp needed a switch replaced to look more like the original and both lamps needed to be checked out and rewired because of bare wire exposure.

I have used Schnables Hareware for years. An old fashioned hardware store in the good sense of the word. It's great to be able to run in and out when you just need one or two things as opposed to Lowes or HD where would spend an hour finding a parking place, find the item, pay and find your car again. Also there prices are very good- I paid half the price that Lowes wanted for a glass window pane and HD doesnt even cut glass anymore. Also you can buy nuts, bolts, screws individually instead of buying a whole box if you just need a few.
Description of Work: Fix a lamp, window glass, nut and bolts etc

See above. In addition, we have a home that was built around 1917 and was restored by the previous owner. Some of the hardware/hinges/door seals, etc. are sort of old specialty items that they always have or can get.
Description of Work: Schnabel's has rewired a number of lamps for us over a number of years, found strange hardware items, repaired/replaced custom glass pieces (that we had to have made) on lamps (we have a number of Art Deco type lamps that we bought in LA and they came with European wiring) and always done the work well. There doesn't seem to be anything they haven't been able to fix so far, and we have been here (we live right down the street) for 13 years.

Courteous and knowledgeable. Excellent service from a great neighborhood hardware store. This store has all the parts you would need for almost any home repair and personal service, too. Highly recommended and I will be back as I have three more lamps to repair.
Description of Work: Repaired Asian lamp with internal night light. Lamp shade bracket broken and internal light inoperative. Lamp was generally in parts with three-way socket broken. Replaced the internal light with a fluorescent bulb as this is more durable and less energy. Lamp is now in excellent shape. All parts operate and new parts added as needed.
