The man is retired. Angies List should update their listings. Another shoddy run organization.

Mark Antelek replied to my request for service very promptly and made an appointment within the week with me to come to my house to work on my lamp. He arrived promptly at the appointed time and spent more than an hour diagnosing the problem after which he advised me that I had a defective dimmer switch and as they are not available locally for this lamp, I would have to order a new one for the lamp company. I wanted to pay him for his time and efforts, but he said that as he didn't fix my lamp there would be no charge. I fully expected to pay for his services as I had in the past and said so as well as expressing my appreciation for his unusually fair business practice.

I was very pleased with his knowledge and efficiency in repairing 4 old lamps in about 1/2 hour. It was nice not to have to carry them all to a shop. Definitely would recommend him to friends and will call him for future needs.

He returned my initial call the same day, and ordered the parts needed. We made an appointment for him to come by the house. He was here right on time and did a great job in replacing my light fixture and repairing my lamp. it was very convenient to have him come to my house instead of my having to take my lamp to a shop somewhere and leave it. I highly recommend The Lamp Doctor and will use him in the future for any lamp fixture replacement or repair.

The lamp had been out of commission for a number of years, and I was getting ready to throw it out -- decided to contact Mark to see if it was worth saving. He came back to me very quickly with a fair price for getting it working -- and once I gave the go-ahead, the lamp was repaired within 24 hours. Mark even delivered the lamp to me at my office!

He came by my house, picked up a broken outdoor light fixture, replaced all electrical parts and then delivered it, too! He had originally quoted me $50 and when he delivered the lamp, he only charged me $35, saying it was easy to repair.

I cannot thank Mr. Antalek enough for the excellent job he did repairing the chandelier in our house. It had to be rewelded and a hard-to-find missing piece had to be obtained. He had to stand on a kitchen counter in order to rehang the fixture and he even brought a blanket to protect the counter. He made sure that the job was done correctly and safely and was very professional. He definitely saved me from having to purchase another light fixture for my kitchen. I highly recommend The Lamp Doctor if you need any sort of light fixture hung or repaired.

Mark did everything I requested quickly and professionally. The price was excellent. One of the best contractors I have used. Thank you!
Description of Work: Mark repaired one lamp by installing a new cord, put together and hung a complicated IKEA pendant fixture and installed one dimmer and removed another. He was on time and organized--he brought everything he needed to do the job. so professional too. and he comes to you--the gas and time savings alone is worth it. Highly recommend!!!

I called Mr. Antalek with questions about a faulty bathroom vanity light fixture and he was able to do some preliminary diagnostics over the telephone and was even offering appt availability the next morning. He arrived exactly on time and took a look at the light fixture to find that, due to a manufacturer design flaw, the fixture could not be repaired. He was then gracious enough to install a back-up fixture that we had purchased which ended up looking better than the original fixture. He charged less than the original estimate due to the changed in required services. His service was very timely and professional, and we would definitely hire him again!

Mr. Antalek arrived right on time and proceeded to hang my kitchen and dining room chandeliers. Fortunately he carries a good range of parts because he needed to change out the pipe nipples that originally came with the chandeliers. He also installed an in-line switch on an old floor lamp and replaced a socket on a table lamp.

Called Mark on a Friday, and told him the situation with my Tiffany lamp. He was up front and honest with me, and said that it would be $30 flat rate to change the cord. He said that he would come to my home, which was a blessing, because I could not imagine dragging a 30 pound lamp to a shop. Mark came to my home on time, and even called me ahead of time to let me know he was on his way. Upon arrival, Mark immediately got to work on the lamp, and had it fixed within 15 minutes. I cannot believe I waited so long to have the lamp repaired. I then mentioned to Mark that I had another lamp upstairs that looked like it needed to be welded, and he looked at it and said he thought he could fix it. He said it would be the same price, and that he would take it home and bring it back to me the next day. He called me Monday evening and told me he had fixed the lamp, and he would bring it back the next day. Sure enough, Mark brought the lamp back to me, I paid the $30, and he was on his way. MARK ALSO FIXES AND INSTALLS CHANDELIERS, AND LIGHTING FIXTURES, INDOORS AND OUT. I am so greatful to have met the "Lamp Doctor", and I will use him forever!!
Description of Work: He CAME TO MY HOME and replaced the electical cord on a heavy, expensive Tiffany dragonfly floor lamp. I also brought him another lamp that had a stripped socket that caused the shade to fall over. He took that one home.

He came to my home to fix my lamps, it went fine, and he had all the equipment with him to take care of the job. It costs about $30 per visit to fix the lamps. He does installation of chandeliers, ceiling fans, and other light fixtures.
Description of Work: I had a light bulb that was stuck in the fixture that was about 30 years old. I also had a table lamp and the cord went bad.
