How much does it cost to move a grandfather clock?
Since each clock relocation is unique, there is no exact price for moving your grandfather clock. Costs for relocating or storing a grandfather clock typically range from $500 to $1,500, depending on:
> When and where you're moving
> The size, age, condition, and value of the clock
> If a custom crate is needed for transport
> How long you need your clock stored
> If you need additional clock maintenance
How Do I put weights on an old grandfather clock?
In a grandfather clock, weights are suspended by cables or chains, and hanging them correctly is both an art and a science. If the weights are not hung correctly, a grandfather clock can stop chiming and won't keep accurate time.
After you move, make sure you can hang the weights properly, or hire someone who can do it. If you are moving locally, West Georgia Clock Repair is here to put your clock back together for you. If you're not local or need help putting your clock together by yourself, we are happy to walk you through the process.
