Grand Lighting Repair

Lamp repair might sound like a lost art, but in a city where vintage fixtures and heirloom lighting still hold court, it’s a quiet necessity. Grand Lighting Repair specializes in breathing new life into everything from mid-century chandeliers to industrial task lamps, handling rewiring, socket replacements, and finial restorations without the markup of a full-service antique dealer. The workbench sits in a basement suite along the eastern stretch of 87th Street, where the Upper East Side’s mix of pre-war apartments and modern renovations keeps demand steady for hands that can mend rather than discard.

You’ll find the shop at 344 E 87th St Suite BSMT, New York, NY 10128—just steps from the 4/5/6 subway line and a block where hardware stores and dry cleaners share sidewalk space with cafés that have been there for decades. Questions about a flickering floor lamp or a broken pull-chain socket can be answered by calling (212) 730-2113. For directions, pull up the map; the entrance is tucked beside the building’s service door, marked only by a discreet sign. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need a neon arrow—just a phone call and a willingness to carry your fixture down a short flight of stairs.
