Got my antique lamp rewired here. As you can see, it is working great now without the musty smell of old wiring. The pull chains are still in tact and functional, which was very important to me.

See all

They have restored my very old lamps passed down from my grandparents. They have a good selection of lamp shades. This business has been passed down 2 generations and they are lovely to work with. read more

I had some large vaulted ceiling pendent lights that had cords too short for the space. The cords were fabric and I had hope to keep that look. They helped me find a special order fabric chord and the end product I liked better than the original. read more

Lamp Repair & Shade Studio - Well repaired lights that work perfectly in my space. - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - Tampa, Florida

If you are in need of a new lamp shade, don't waste your time going anywhere else. The quality and selection is the best you'll find anywhere in Tampa and surrounds. The first time I went in I neglected to bring the lamp with me, and with so many shades to choose from, you really need to have the item with you. James could not have been more helpful and professional. He knew exactly what shades to show me and helped me with replacement bulbs that were more energy efficient as well. Once again, YELP knew where to go to get the best! read more

When I first went in to have my lamp repaired, the owner talked my head off for what seemed like forever about himself and his family. But at least at the end he said that he could fix my lamp within a week. Even though I called a couple times to follow up, two months later it was still not finished, and I was thinking that they might have decided to steal or "lose" it. Turns out that they just didn't get around to it until another week later. All for something that, I was told, would only take about an hour to fix. So unprofessional! read more

I came in for a white shade. I saw one in cream that I really liked. Jim, who normally is in the back repairing lamps, asked that I return to talk with the owner who could order shades. I came back that afternoon, but the owner had not returned. Jim, not to be deterred in our mission for a shade, brought me a green shade that perfectly complemented my green lamp. In addition, he retired the lamp that day. Five stars aren't enough. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I am fine that the female clerk has no personality but she talked me in to paying for two larger shades for the lamps I brought in. At $100 each for lamp shades it seemed steep. When I got home and saw I should have gone with the smaller ones I drove back to get them and was told I cannot get a refund for the difference. So I had to buy a $29 bulb that I could have bought at Loews for $3. And by the way that bulb stopped working after 3 days. If you have money to throw away and don't want any recommendations on what to buy, go here. If you want a fair price and policies that aren't crazy, go ANYWHERE but here. read more

I only wish I would have seen all the 1 star reviews before I put $100 deposit on the lampshade repair. After waiting almost 16 weeks to get my beautiful blood orange shade returned, it came back as brown (nothing like the original). The owner then blamed a someone else who "no longer works there". And for this they wanted to charge me $180? The owners customer service skills are some of the worst I've ever seen. All he does is argue and The only accommodation offered was for me to go to the fabric store and buy Something different. Absolutely agree with the other reviews asking how this company stays in business? Avoid it like Covid ( note in his response he says I picked the fabric. I did not choose the replacement fabric, it was chosen for me) read more

Deserving of zero stars... not sure why they are still in business except for the fact that they are the only local lamp repair?! I think it's all family run, yet none of them are nice or friendly, almost seem bothered by your presence?! We took in a very inexpensive, yet modern and unique lamp... just needed the toggle switch replaced, simple right?? Even though they had toggle switches on display, was told that they can't order them?! So I offered to buy my own and bring to them... which I did, only to pick it up with a completely different toggle switch than I had brought in for them, literally a fraction of the size which looked ridiculous?! The one I had special ordered to have them replace it with was the same size as the original one that broke off... upon pick up, they claimed they "found one"?! No phone call to ask which I would prefer, no credit for the one I purchased, no consideration for my time... read more

I had two antique light fixtures rewired here. They are VERY inexpensive here (I paid 35 bucks for rewiring of 2 fixtures and I was bid 1$40 by the next lowest guy), AND they finished early! Great local business! read more

I brought my brass floor lamp into this shop on October 9th, 2020. My lamp was not an antique nor a special lamp and it was manufactured within the last 8 years. I used it for my workspace while working from home. One of the light domes came loose and was hanging. They originally told me that the repair would cost approximately $20, then this later jumped to $80 in a follow up call. I was told there was a part that is not manufactured anymore and that this increased the cost. (Since that time I have shown pictures of this lamp to another repairman and was told there should be nothing about this lamp that would be so unique.) Anyway, when I went to pick up my lamp the first time after waiting 2.5 MONTHS to receive it back (late Dec 2020), the base was caked in dust. This was the first thing that made me wonder about their business practices. Yuck, I thought... I did not drop it off that way. Lexi must not be much of an improvement on the former sales lady...When she picked my dusty lamp up to get it from a side area one of the domes swung around and hit their high, bullnose wooden counter. Lexi did not mention this nor apologize. It was almost comical, as if this happens regularly? She also did not offer to help me to the car with the lamp. These types of lamps ought to be to wrapped with a plastic wrap at center so nothing swings around. They ought to offer help out, and certainly make sure lamps are presentable for pick up. So I placed the lamp in my car and headed to the grocery store. An hour later I am unloading my lamp to bring it into my home. It breaks in half at center! I am wondering how it was treated in this shop (when I wasn't looking). I brought the broken lamp back to this shop and was told I'd be called. I never was; I had to call them and I was told I'd be charged to fix it yet again. I finally called them the last week of the year to ask when it would be ready. I was told by the end of that week. When I said to Lexi that I truly doubted this time estimate, she snarkily said, "Merry Christmas" and hung up. I wish I had paid with a credit card and not cash. I would certainly be contesting these charges. I also wish I had read all these reviews. At this point I don't even want my lamp back because I don't want to step foot in there again. Plus, it's been so long I had to replace it anyway. They still have my lamp and they still haven't called (it's now Jan 10th, 2020), nor do they respond to email I guess. In summary, the only good thing about this place in my opinion is the location. However, if I ever need to repair a lamp again, I'd drive far and wide to do so. read more

I needed to get plugs replaced on three table lamps and was referred to this place by friends whose experience was marred by a lack of clear communication. My recent experience was perfect from start to finish, thanks to Lexie at the front desk and whoever repaired my lamps expeditiously. I dropped them off on Tuesday, and they were finished by Friday. I got the estimate range in writing, and while the final price was the max on the estimate, l agreed to that possibility by leaving my lamps to be fixed. Lexie explained why and what was done on the final repairs. Her approach from greeting as l entered the store to making sure the lamps worked after the repair speaks to her customer service skills. She is a valuable young voice for your family business. Thank you to all for your repair business. read more

These people know lamps and lighting! Extremely happy with the lamp shades I purchased there! The saleswoman who helped me literally gave me a tutorial in how shades should be placed and even enlightened me on lamp terminology. Harp, finial, shade riser... I now speak Lampese :) It's a pricey place but my grandmother's lamps needed a little TLC. read more

The old lady up front was just flat out rude! I have been there before and dealt with others. They have been helpful and polite. But the old bag needs to go! You can't treat your customers so rude! read more

We want to thank James and Mom for helping us. We walked in without an appointment with a crystal floor lamp that had been damaged in the move from Maryland to Florida and three old lampshades that needed to be replaced. James fixed the floor lamp and Mom picked out three lamps shades. Prices were reasonable for the quality we wanted. When we got home and put the shades on the three lamps, we realized what great choices Mom had made. Thanks for being there for us James and Mom. - Bob and Janice read more

I have used this small business a couple of times and they are very knowledgeable. In both cases they completed the work sooner and less expensive than I thought it would be. I do understand previous reviews about the customer service from the older lady however, she was not there this time so hopefully they have "allowed" her to retire. The folks that were there this time were the owner and a nice young lady, both were helpful. read more

Zero stars was not an option. I bought two lamp shades to try at home and they did not fit my lamp. Less than 24 hours later I returned them but the rude shop owner, trapped in 1984, would not honor a return and would only issue store credit. The credit is tied to my keeping the receipt and he will have no record of it if the receipt is lost. Should be out of business or update your policies and point of sale system. read more

Did replace the dimmer on our lamp, however they cracked the cover that goes over the weight and completely denied it. We should of been more careful and did a better job inspecting our lamp when picking it up. In the end not surprised, the lady being served when we dropped off the lamp was not happy either. The way the owner talks to his customers is shocking! I'm surprised this business is still open. read more

I never even got to buy lamp parts to repair my own lamps. The woman was so rude on the telephone I couldn't imagine face to face interaction. In days of Internet and online ordering, I suggest try harder. I won't be buying here-too bad I believe in shopping local. But in this case I'll order my lamp parts online read more

During the 60's, my father shipped a pair of ginger jar lamps from Japan to the US. I put one together about 25 years ago which managed to survive despite packing and unpacking multiple times. The other remained in its original shipping box. Thanks for refurbishing one and rewiring both. Most of all thank you for returning the original shipping box. Also, would like to give a shout out to Tweak Your Space for using your services! The black lamp shades were perfect for the white porcelain jars. read more

They are very knowledgeable and do great work. I have had several antique lamps rewired here. A gem of a repair shop..... read more

I am an interior designer and have been going here for lampshades for about a year. The older lady always seems annoyed by my presence and just generally negative. I finally confronted her today and she got really defensive and said she doesn't have to be pleasant. I've always dreaded going in there because it's like a dark cloud and I think I'll finally take my hard earned money elsewhere. It's not worth it. They're overpriced and grumpy. They do have a great selection of shades and can provide good services as long as you don't mind being bullied throughout the process. read more

The upside is that lamp repair can be done. The downside is having to deal with the unhappy, rude, condescending, joyless, angry woman who appears to own the store. Life is too short. I'd rather go somewhere where I didn't have to deal with her nastiness when it's unwarranted. She spoke to my children accusingly demanding to know why they weren't in school. I won't go back. read more

Horrible customer service and charged me more than what was quoted. I had emailed with the owner about refurbishing a chandelier. I sent him details of what i wanted and pictures. He listed everything out and quoted 225-300. We get a call 6 weeks later, go in to pick it up and the owners mom who also works there told me it was $455!! I told her that's not what I was quoted and pulled up the email. She immediately replied in a rude manner and said I was too young to understand? She said her son would of never quoted that and implied the emails were made up. Other customers were shocked at how she was reacting. At that point I asked her to call James the owner who I spoke with, she refused. She said to pay now or leave. She even threatened to dirty it up and give it back to me, if I didn't like the price. At this point I was NOT LEAVING it in their possession. In the end I paid with my credit card, in order to dispute until i heard back from the owner (which i e-mailed him immediately to call me). When i contacted the owner he did not apologize instead he claimed he spoke with me about a quote over the phone and/or in person, which never happened! Very unprofessional. read more

I wish I could give them zero stars! The rudest people I have ever encountered!! I was even warned before I went that they are "grumpy". Really? I didn't even stay and get any work done read more

The customer service from the lady was the worst I have ever experienced. She was rude, insulting and pushy. They do very good work but I will not go in that store again. Everyone has a bad day but I was in the store four times and she was very unpleasant to deal with. On one occasion I had the son and he was very helpful and courteous. If you go ask for one of the men. read more

One of the worst experiences. The woman, who is one of the owners, is astonishingly rude and patronizing. Tries to bully you into buying whatever she has in stock. I bought one lampshade, with the promise that they would order a mate for it. After three months what arrived did not match what I had bought, although she argued with me that it was the exact same thing. I went home to get the original shade and she still tried to argue with me that they were the same. Her son finally came over and agreed they were different but they couldn't order me a matching one as they didn't make that die lot anymore. Well why did they tell me they could order it as i had always needed a matching pair. So, i am stuck with a very expensive shade and will have to try and have another one custom made to match. defeats the whole reason why i went to a "specialist" in the first place. I could have saved myself the rudeness and the months and months of waiting. read more

They may have a good reputation in South Tampa for fixing lamps, but left the shop with my broken lamps because of VERY POOR customer service. The woman that works there (must be an owner) should consider retirement. read more

Owner refused to change the harp size on my lamp so I could use a lamp shade purchased elsewhere. Told me they would only do that if I bought a lamp shade from them. I would have paid them for the harp. Didn't expect it for free. Anyway bought a harp at Lowe's for $4. The lady employee was busy arguing with other poor patrons. My recommendation is avoid this store. It's not worth the trip or the bother. read more

I live in South Tampa and have purchased from this shop many times, but just cannot take the abusive customer service any longer. I walked in last week with 2 lamp shades to identically replace and the the elderly woman who is the owner flat out refused to help me without the lamps. She rudely pointed to one of her many signs with rules and turned her back. In an age of the internet and customer service, I have found what I needed elsewhere and will never return, thus rating this shop a zero. read more

Rude customer service. Should have followed my instinct when I got to the door and read all the "do not's and rules". Same rules posted along aisles and walls. Stood behind previous customer while the son engaged in a personal conversation with her and never acknowledged my presence. He offered to walk that customer to her car when he yelled "mother" over his shoulder. Out walks his mother from the back with a frown and a gruff "how can I help you?'. I asked 3 questions about my lamp and each answer I was given in a short and impatient response. When I picked up my lamp, after a dry monotone message was left on my answering machine, my lamp was just silently handed to me. No thank you, come again,smile...nothing! I definitely won't do business there again and I'll be sure to let my friends know. Very poor customer service! read more
