Lamp Repair Etc

We brought an antique crystal lamp for repairs on the cord and for cleaning and replacing missing crystals on the shade. Three weeks later after no word from the woman at the shop, my husband called and was told it was $ 175.00. I went to pick it up and she only had the base ready and said the shade was not included in the quote. I waited two mor weeks and finally went to pick the shade up. She had no clue why I was there and had no idea where the shade was. The place is very dirty cluttered and messy. She found our shade and tried to make up some excuse about how busy she is. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

I took a very antique lamp to Lamp Repair Etc and they did a wonderful job. Carmen was very helpful and explained the steps in what she had to do to get the job done. The lamp was also ready in a few days, just in time for my birthday.

I took a relatively inexpensive lamp here for a replacement in-​line switch — if the lamp didn’t have some sentimental value I would have tossed it. They did a nice job of fixing and reassembling but when I got it home I realized they left out a part to hold the shade. Why 2 stars? The bill for this was an astonishing $ 72.00! Make sure to get a quote before proceeding.

One of my lamps dimmer switch was shot to hell so besides buying a brand new lamp I decided to come here and get it repaired.
This little lamp repair place is located in the rear of the building and shares it’s place with some furniture repair guy. When you first walk in the place looks shady and there is a massive furniture pile up that looks like a scene straight from the show «Hoarders». I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy Hoffa’s remains were underneath that junk pile.
The lamp repair lady seemed legit so I told here what was wrong and what I wanted done. She gave me a lamp diagnosis and a price and I agreed to do business. I left the lamp in her hands and she said it should be done by Saturday and that she would call. No money needed up front and you don’t pay until you pick it up. Keep in mind that she only accepts cash or checks. NO credit or debit cards.
On Saturday afternoon I get the call that my lamp is done as stated when I dropped it off. That was a huge plus. The lamp was completely repaired and I was informed what work was done and even got a demo that it worked perfectly before I left. I was very satisfied with her work.
If you need a lamp repaired then I recommend coming here and giving this place a chance. Will I again? Yeah maybe in the future but definitely not with this lamp again. If this lamp takes a crap again I will snap it and then just trash it or maybe just add it to the huge furniture pile in this place with the other junk that is covering up Hoffa.

you have to be VERY careful what you bring here to be repaired. I have brought in standard things that needed rewiring and their pricing was as expected.
But on my last visit I brought in a mica shade that had loose panels and the owner had the audacity to quote me $ 175 for what was essentially a taping job. It was actually insulting that this person thought that I, a designer, btw, could not assess the work that needed to be done.
So for a literally 3 $ worth of book binding tape and half an our of work, the lamp looks better than new.

I have had two expensive Italian floor lamps repaired at Lamp Repair Etc. They did a wonderful job. They do take some time, maybe a week or two, to complete the repairs, but they get the job done. Their prices are reasonable. I had a hard time finding a lamp repair shop in the South Bay and would highly reccomend Lamp Repair Etc. They are also very pleasant people to do business with.
They have free off-​street parking. You have to look for the «Lamp Repair» sign on Hawthorne and then turn quickly into the driveway and their entrance is in the back.

I took a very expensive Waterford Crystal lamp that had a few problems. it had started to rattle and really needed total realignment.
They did a really beautiful job on my lamp in a very reasonable amount of time. I think the entire repair was $ 45.00. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Can you give zero stars???
These people are thieves and amateurs.
I went in to get parts for a homemade lamp and «Carmen» wanted to charge me $ 45 for some very basic pieces. I declined and went to Home Depot and got all the pieces for UNDER $ 15!!! I literally laughed when she told what she wanted to charge.
AND ON TOP OF THAT… I am a professional woodworker and can recognize amateur work in all stages. This place also advertises furniture refinishing.
BEWARE! The techniques I saw them employing were beyond inappropriate for a shop advertising «professional work»
STAY AWAY!
