Computer Repair in The Woodlands and Montgomery County

Computer repair in The Woodlands, Magnolia, and across
Montgomery County — laptops, desktops, and home networks.
Onsite at your house, drop-off at mine, or remote when the
problem allows it.

I’ve been working on computers since 1984 — DOS, every
version of Windows since, and everything that came after.

This is a one-person shop, which means the person who answers the phone is
the person who works on your machine. You won’t explain your problem three
times to three people, and you won’t get handed to a different technician than
the one you spoke to.

What I fix in The Woodlands and Magnolia

• Slow computers —
  three minutes to boot, spinning cursor, programs taking forever to open.
  Usually the hard drive, and usually a straightforward fix.
• Cracked and failing
  laptop screens — cracks, dead pixels, flickering, a display
  that’s gone black while the machine still runs.
• Windows problems — blue
  screens, boot loops, updates that broke something, a machine that won’t get
  past the logo.
• Viruses and malware
  — pop-ups, browser hijacks, ransomware, a computer that got slow
  overnight.
• WiFi and home networks — dead
  zones, drops during video calls, printers that won’t stay connected.
• Ports and connections —
  USB ports that stopped working, laptops that only charge at a certain
  angle.
• Data recovery and backup —
  files off a failing drive, and a backup setup so it doesn’t happen
  twice.
• Custom builds —
  gaming rigs and workstations spec’d for what you actually do.

Three ways to get computer repair help

• Onsite. I come to your house or office. Necessary for
  network problems, and easier for desktops you’d rather not unplug.
• Drop-off. Bench work on laptops and desktops. Usually the
  fastest option for repairs and upgrades.
• Remote. Software problems, settings, and some
  troubleshooting can be handled over a remote session without anyone
  traveling.

Not sure which you need? Call and describe what’s happening. I’ll tell you
straight.

What you can expect

• A quote before I start. Not an hourly rate that runs
  until the job’s done. If something changes that number, I stop and call
  you.
• An honest answer about whether it’s worth fixing.
  Sometimes a repair costs more than the machine. I’d rather say so and keep
  your business next time than take the job.
• Your files left alone. I’ll have access to your drive —
  there’s no repair that avoids it. I don’t go looking through it. See my
  privacy policy for exactly what that
  means.
• Plain English. You’ll get told what was wrong and what
  I did about it, without jargon.

Brands I work on

Acer, Apple, ASUS, Chromebook, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and generic or
custom-built desktops. If it runs Windows, I work on it.

How pricing works

I quote before I start. The diagnostic fee is applied to your final bill if
you go ahead with the work — and if you decide not to, you’ve still paid for a
straight answer about what’s wrong, and you’re free to take it anywhere.

Why there’s a fee at all: some problems don’t announce themselves. Properly
diagnosing a symptom takes time, tools, and knowledge, and not every repair
turns out to be worth doing. The fee covers my time in the cases where the
right advice is “don’t fix this.”
