Expert Clock Diagnostics
Clocks stop working for many reasons—dust accumulation, worn parts, humidity damage, or simple wear. Our diagnostic process identifies the exact issue before any work begins, ensuring you only pay for what your clock actually needs.
We use specialized timing equipment and magnification tools to examine every component. Our written estimates detail exactly what we found and what we recommend, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges.
Most common repairs are completed within 1-2 weeks. Complex cases receive a timeline estimate before work begins.

Preventive Maintenance
Regular maintenance extends your clock's life and prevents costly repairs. We recommend servicing mechanical clocks every 4-5 years to keep them running reliably.
Our maintenance packages include complete cleaning, lubrication of all moving parts, adjustment, and testing. We also check for developing issues before they become failures.
Many clients schedule their clocks for annual "checkups" during Daylight Saving Time changes when clocks need resetting anyway.
