Owner Scott Sweeney did a pretty good job of AVOIDING any follow up direct "live" communication with me when I inquired about having his business make a replica of a sconce I needed to replace. I sent him a photo of the cracked piece at his request, but he would not respond with any assurances that he would follow up with me. Just left me hanging.

I thought this job was certainly right up his alley. My request was NOT outside the realm of his expertise. Or should I say, supposed expertise. It was a popular, widely produced sconce, only 15 years old. Something you could have replicated for me with your eyes closed Scott. Who submitted your 7 five star ratings? The cast from fantasy Island?

They were great. Price was fair, restoration work was spot on. They even talked me out of doing more extensive work. I'm a very happy customer!

Purchased a lamp from here almost two decades ago. Recently needed some repair work. Yankee Craftsman staff were proficient, kind, efficient. Charges related to the service were very reasonable.

Friendly owners fixed the switch on my lamp while I waited for a very fair price. I had a little time to browse the antique lighting and furniture in the adjacent beautiful old barn- a wonderland! It's nice to have family-owned business and craftsmanship like this nearby.

Best Antique Lighting in Massachusetts. I was looking to repair the wiring on an antique chandelier. I was referred here by a lighting supply company. What a cool place! Walking in on a cool December day, there was a fire in the wood burning stove, heating the small workshop. The workshop is full floor to ceiling with lighting parts and projects. After purchasing some antique cloth bound wire, Gary suggested I headed out back to check out the huge barn.

Inside are over 2,000 fully restored antique light fixtures, all running with LED lights. I spent two hours trying to rewire the chandelier, but to no avail. The next day I brought one arm of the chandelier to Gary for repair. In under 10 minutes he had the wire threaded through the arm, the socket screwed back in and wired up. My parents and my wife will be heading over soon to buy some more antique lights. Go here for antique lighting repairs, go here to buy antique lighting, go here to explore.

I love this place. They far exceeded my expectations. I brought in a broken lamp and left 10 minutes later with it fixed. How great is that? And they were the nicest people to deal with. I was lucky to catch them at a low traffic time, but even if I had needed to leave the lamp for a few weeks, I would have been happy to do business with them. Awesome people!

I finally took an antique floor lamp here to be fixed several weeks ago. Incredibly reasonable and polite.even fixed it while I waited. It was a lamp with two light fixtures and to replace one and add something to cover the cord was only $20.
