-
House Moves & Professional Leveling: Did you recently move or change your flooring? A clock that isn't perfectly "in beat" will stop. We provide professional setup services to ensure your clock is plumb, balanced, and ticking perfectly in its new location.

Maintenance & Oiling: Every 3–5 years, your clock needs high-grade horological oil to prevent friction from destroying the brass gears. We offer routine maintenance visits to extend the life of your investment.

At DFW Clocks, we understand that a grandfather clock is more than a timepiece—it is a heartbeat within your home. Based in Keller, TX, we specialize in professional in-home grandfather clock repair for the entire Fort Worth and Dallas metroplex.

We believe in total transparency and heritage-focused restoration, which is why we’ve answered the three most critical questions our DFW clients ask below.
1. Can you fix my clock without me having to move it?
-
The Answer: Absolutely. We specialize in in-home grandfather clock repair throughout the 50-mile DFW radius. You never have to worry about hauling a heavy, fragile cabinet to a shop; our master technicians bring the workshop to your living room.
-
Why this works: It hits the #1 pain point—the physical difficulty of moving a 200lb clock.
2. How much does a house call cost in the Fort Worth area?
-
The Answer: We offer transparent pricing for the Keller and Fort Worth cluster. Our standard house call includes a full diagnostic of the movement, weights, and chimes. If a full overhaul is needed, your house call fee is typically applied toward the total restoration cost.
-
Why this works: Price transparency builds instant trust, which is rare in high-end repair industries.
3. Do you have experience with my specific brand (Howard Miller/Sligh/Ridgeway)?
-
The Answer: Yes. We are experts in the "Big Three" American brands, as well as German-engineered Hermle and Kieninger movements. Whether it’s a 40-year-old heirloom or a modern masterpiece, we carry the specific horological lubricants and parts required for your model.
