FAQs
Can I move a grandfather clock myself?
You can, but it’s risky. A grandfather clock has delicate parts (pendulum, weights, movement) that must be removed and secured before moving. Hiring professionals is safest, especially for antiques.
Can a grandfather clock be moved lying down?
It’s not recommended. Laying a grandfather clock flat can damage the case and internal mechanism. Whenever possible, keep it upright and transport the movement separately.
How long does the moving process take?
For most clocks, a professional can prepare, transport, and reassemble it in 1–3 hours locally. Larger or more complex clocks may take longer, especially if stairs or tight spaces are involved.
Will my clock need calibration after the move?
Yes, usually. Even with careful handling, the clock may need leveling, pendulum adjustment, and chime alignment after it’s set up in its new location.
Do you move both antique and modern grandfather clocks?
Absolutely. We handle both antique and modern clocks, using proper packing and handling techniques to protect each type’s unique construction and finish.
