As of 8-31-23: We must update our shop rates for the first time in 15 years.
These changes go into effect 9/1/23. They are not a result of illness or any other factor of that nature. They are strictly due to backlog and rising costs (inflation).
As a guideline, full restoration fees will typically follow this schedule. Simple repairs will be quoted, but are always less:
Simple single train electrics: $250-350
SWCC Style F Movement and case: $950 and up
SWCC Style F Movement only: $550-650 (generally)
SWCC Style A/B/C: Add $200 to Style F
3-Train Chime Movement (mechanical and electric) only: $500-750
Vintage 3-Train Movement and case: $1200
Antique (200+ years old) tall case: $1500-3000 (generally)
Telechron (and similar) Movements: $300-395
Alarm clocks, movement only: $350-395
Please be aware that the above represent typical numbers. We cannot have standard costs for restorations since so much can vary. Also, it’s impossible to provide guidelines for every style and type of movement we restore, and every service we provide. Providing a more specific quote range is only possible with the movement on the bench, and numbers can go up or down from the above depending on the specific issues found.
With rising costs and inflation, we simply cannot keep the shop open at previous rates (which have been in effect for nearly 15 years).
As always, we will continue to honor all warranties and maintenance for previous customers in a timely fashion, as long as the work is not so extensive as to require a full restoration again. This is extremely rare.
We look forward to serving you!
