They had our grandfather clock for over a year, kept saying "these repairs take time." Trying to get any information over the phone about the work progress is a waste of time too. It had a small problem when they took it. But when we demanded it be returned, they had damaged the pendulum, replaced the chime tubes in reverse order, installed the weights backwards, had their hand/fingerprints all over the brass and now the clock doesn't chime or strike and the tarnished brass looks awful. I would give them a ZERO rating if it were possible.

A couple of years ago, for our 50th wedding anniversary, I called on Brian to build me several…read morerings that when combined together "banded" our Family presented on my wife's ring finger. We worked through several designs and concepts until we found a most purposeful presentation, which my wife, and many others over the years, adore. Recently, I returned to Lowe's with a challenge and as always they were up to the task. I have a medal I have worn on a chain around my neck for over 53 years. It was removed for boot camp and for medical procedures and tests other than that it remained around my neck. Needless to say, the sterling silver was worn and I was afraid that the jump ring and or bail would be giving way soon, as even with the naked eye one could see the wearing of the silver. Brian, looked at this personal treasure as his own and with an expression of respect and dignity offered several options to repair and replace portions of the medal without altering my lifelong treasure, which was gifted to me by my wife before our wedding. Lowe's, lead by Brian, was masterful in handling my "treasure" respecting, as if it were their own, my 53 years of wearing this medal. Thank you Brian for your craft and all the folks at Lowe's who always greet me as family.

I decided to stop by Boudreaux's on the recommendation of a family member, and was very pleased with their service. Despite not being an authorized seller for the watch brand I owned, their expert was able to install the band in under five minutes. Problem was that the watch still didn't fit. This caused me great frustration, but the jeweler had an easy suggestion. He whipped out his catalog and ordered one additional link. I figured it would be a week or so for it to arrive, but in a couple of days, they called and told me it was in. Now for the interesting part of the review. When I told my mom that I needed to stop at Boudreaux's for my watch link, she remembered a piece of jewelry that she had dropped off to repair. Problem was that she had dropped it off nearly two years before and forgot to pick it up. I was sure that Boudreaux's would have melted it down or sold it, but surprisingly they had it in a box somewhere. They told us that they actually never get rid of stuff customers forget, they just box it up. That kind of service is amazing in this day and age. More amazing is that since I was buying a watch link, they didn't even charge her for her repair. If you need jewelry or repair services, I strongly encourage you to check out Boudreaux's.
