Moving a grandfather clock requires precision and specialized knowledge in order to prevent any damage. That’s why our specialized team focuses exclusively on moving grandfather clocks. Whether you’re relocating across town or across the country, you can trust us to handle every pendulum, weight, and hand-polished component with care.
How We Safely Move Grandfather Clocks
Step 1: On-Site Assessment
A certified technician visits your home or office, measures your grandfather clock, and identifies any special requirements.
Step 2: Professional Disassembly
We carefully remove and label the clock components including the: pendulums, weights, and decorative elements. Once we have disassembled the clock’s components, we pack everything in specialized grandfather clock shipping boxes.
Step 3: Packaging and Transport
Your clock is placed in a specialized grandfather clock crate that is lined with shock-absorbent foam, and loaded into our vehicles for a smooth journey. In some cases we will opt to ship the clock if it is more cost effective for you.
Step 4: Reassembly and Calibration
Once we arrive at the final location we reassemble and calibrate your clock so it keeps perfect time.
Is It Safe to Move a Grandfather Clock Laying Down?
In most cases, transporting a grandfather clock lying down is not recommended. The delicate movement of the clock, the assembly of gears, the springs, and the escapement all rely on precise alignment, so laying the clock flat can misalignment or damage the clock. That’s why we disassemble your clock and transport it upright.
How Much Does It Cost to Move a Grandfather Clock?
Moving a grandfather clock usually costs between $400-$1,600, and the factors that effect the price include the following:
Distance
Local moves (under 50 miles) often cost around $400, while long-distance moves are significantly more expensive.
Clock Size and Weight
The heavier and larger a clock is the harder it generally is to pack and move. That’s why larger clocks usually cost more to move than smaller clocks.
Disassembly and Reassembly
Our team typically disassembles grandfather clocks before moving them in order to prevent damage. That’s why disassembly, protective crating, and post-move calibration are bundled into most of our service packages. This service will cost more or less depending on how many components your clock has and how easy it is to disassemble and reassemble.
Every clock and move is unique, so it’s best to give us a call for a free estimate.
