Jordan G. says, "ARRK handyman Service was hired by my company to put a 150ft wood fence in the backyard of our rental property with two gates in order to create privacy from the railroad tracks directly behind the property. Russell and his crew showed up ready to work in the middle of a snow storm when they live an hour and a half away. They had to cut down gigantic tree in order to install the fence on very uneven ground. The final product turned out beautifully! He did a wonderful job in regards to the work. However, I had to subtract one star for poor communication and follow thru. I had asked Russell to complete the project within a 3 day time span and to also stay in contact with me every morning with updates. The project ended up taking a full 2 weeks to complete and I was only contact one time with an update. He also put the front gate in an awkward spot, not where I had planned for it to go. In the end, The quality of work was so stunning that some of these other issues fell to the wayside. We would most definitely work with Russell and Arrk Handyman Services again!" Read more

James B. says, "I had the pleasure of working with Compupatch Services Inc. recently, and I must say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the team at Compupatch went above and beyond to provide top-notch service and deliver outstanding results. The owner of the company demonstrated unparalleled generosity and expertise when he took my malfunctioning computer and made the bold decision to upgrade me to a brand new system at the same cost it would have taken to repair the old one. This unexpected act of kindness and professionalism truly set Compupatch apart from other service providers in the industry. Furthermore, the owner also worked his magic on two laptops that I owned, upgrading the memory and CPU at a fraction of the cost it would have taken elsewhere. As a result, I now find myself in possession of three essentially brand new computers, all acquired at a price that would have typically only covered the cost of one. What truly impressed me about Compupatch's service was their unmatched efficiency and convenience. Not only did they pick up my computers from my home, but they also returned them fully upgraded and repaired in less than two days, showcasing their commitment to timeliness and customer satisfaction. Additionally, the accessibility of Luis, the owner, who is available around the clock to address any concerns or issues, further solidifies Compupatch as a reliable and customer-centric service provider. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Compupatch Services Inc. for all your computer needs, whether personal or for your business. Their dedication to excellence, exceptional customer service, and cost-effective solutions make them a standout choice in the industry. If you are looking for a trustworthy and skilled team to handle your computer repairs, upgrades, or maintenance, look no further than Compupatch Services Inc. You won't be disappointed!" Read more

Who can repair my computer?

Professional computer repair technicians have the training and certifications to reliably fix your computer. These technicians often have their own small shop. Large retailers like Best Buy, Office Depot, and Staples also offer repair services.

Is paying to repair a computer worth it?

Repairing a computer is worth it if the repairs cost substantially less than the price of a new device. If your computer is fairly new and normally runs well, consider a repair instead of a replacement. If you computer is more than 3 to 8 years old and regularly has issues, it may be better to replace it.

How long does a computer last?

Computers typically last 3 to 8 years, depending on the brand, quality, and how well you take care of it. Desktops tend to last slightly longer than laptops. 

Standard manufacturer warranties typically last 6 months to 3 years and cover the original owner. Check your computer's warranty policy if it is fairly new and has problems with its hardware that were not caused by you. This might include:

  • Broken keyboard or keys
  • Monitor defects
  • Malfunctioning modem
  • Problems with internal component

How much do computer repair technicians make?

Computer repair technicians make $20 to $40 per hour or $40,000 to $80,000 per year, depending on their location and level of experience. Specialists, supervisors, and business owners usually make more than Geek Squad employees or junior clerks.

How do I choose a computer repair service?

Start by searching our list of computer repair contractors, then:

  • Get at least three free estimates to compare.
  • Examine reviews and previous work on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Choose a company that is licensed, bonded, and experienced.
  • Look for someone with certifications such as Computer Service Technician (CST).
  • Make sure they have insurance and offer a warranty.
  • Get a written estimate and contract before work begins.
  • Follow a payment schedule instead of making large payments up front.

After asking questions and verifying credentials, hire the best computer repair company in your area.

What questions should I ask computer repair contractors?

When looking for local computer repair companies, consider asking the following questions:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
  • What certifications do you have?
  • Do you offer same-day service? If not, how far in advance should I book?
  • How do you handle any accidental damage?
  • How long will the repair take?
  • Do you have any discounts for seniors or students?
  • Do you offer a warranty for your work?
  • Will you give me an estimate and contract in writing?

I don't bother posting reviews, but this is worth it because he was really nice. I am DONE hiring "cheap" techs. The last guy was awful. Foolish me thinking $55/hr would get me an expert. I called Shannon about a wireless problem or internet problem several days ago in the late afternoon. This guy is a god. I was behind on my work and my school papers for my online class, and it seemed like the internet was broken. Shannon came out early the next morning FULLY PREPARED! He had EVERYTHING! He got Cox on the phone line and he knew everything to say. I could hear the tech ask questions that were wasting time. Shannon took control of the situation and it was fun to hear him speak their language better than them and guided THEM through the whole problem. My house is quite long and the cable modem is on the other end of the house from my bedroom/office so wifi doesn't work well. Shannon explained that the best solution was to put in a network cable in the attic to connect the whole house. I felt bad having him in the attic! It has been over 110 degrees outside every day lately! But he did it! He even had everything with him and didn't have to come back which was great because of my busy schedule. He also ended up replacing my cable modem (which cox said needed to be done), installed a new professional router and wifi "access point" that he connected to the new attic cable. Cox said I was only getting 5 megabits download speed before it was fixed but paying for 150 megabits. Shannon fixed it and now I get 160 download speed!! Two other techs had suggested "wifi extenders" which did not work and wasted my time and money. I'm not stressed or p*ssed off at my computer anymore. Money well-spent. Everything is working perfectly, and I love having my own computer person on speed dial. : ) Thank you, Shannon.

Brad was very knowledgeable, and gave me some good tips on how to improve my experience with my machine, as he moved through the process of cleaning up my W 10 Dell Laptop. He explained everything he was doing, as a watched on my screen. He was very easy to work with, and well worth the price. He pointed out my need for more c: drive capacity, and in the meantime pulled out enough unneeded programs to tide me over until I can upgrade my SSD. I have no hesitation in recommending Brad for your computer needs.
