No technical knowledge required. Just tell me what your device is doing, and I take care of the rest.
Call, text, or send a quick note through my website. Let me know what device you have and the symptoms you're experiencing.
I give you a clear upfront labor quote. If your fix needs a part, I send you a link to the exact one so you can order it yourself at cost, then I install it as soon as it arrives.
I fix your tech and verify everything works. Afterward, I check in with you and answer any follow-up questions for free for 30 days.
For mobile house calls throughout Cookeville, Algood, Baxter, and Putnam County, travel is charged at just 50¢ ($0.50) per mile calculated directly from Tennessee Tech's address:
I don't stock or mark up parts. If your device needs a new battery or drive, I find the exact compatible part and send you the link to order it yourself, so you pay retail cost and keep the manufacturer warranty. Once it arrives, I install it, and you only pay my agreed labor fee after the repair is done.
Friendly, affordable rates for Cookeville neighbors and Tennessee Tech students. Prices below are for labor only.
Stop annoying popups, frozen screens, and suspicious warnings. I remove malicious software, clean junk files, update security settings, and restore your computer to running much better.
Is your computer painfully slow? I copy everything onto a modern lightning-fast solid-state drive. Your computer starts in seconds, and all your files and programs remain right where you left them.
Laptop too old to upgrade? If it's simply too outdated for an upgrade to make financial sense, I can research and find you the best replacement laptop or PC to fit your exact budget and goals!
Not every laptop is eligible for an SSD upgrade, but most are. I'll check yours first.
Got tech that you just can't get to work? I can help set things up, walk you through new devices, or troubleshoot stubborn gadgets with patience and zero rush. Feel free to text/email me your issue first. If I can help, I will!
Tired of weak signals and buffering? I can install Wi-Fi repeaters, extenders, or mesh systems to help your Wi-Fi reach every corner, and install hardware solutions to improve your overall home network speed and reliability.
Broken charging port that only charges when you hold the cord at an angle? Dying battery that won't hold a charge? I inspect the laptop, replace the damaged components carefully, and verify everything works.
Did you buy a new desktop or laptop? Don't stress about losing your family pictures, tax documents, music, or bookmarks. I move everything safely from your old machine onto the new one.
Does your laptop get burning hot, sound like a jet engine, or shut down by itself? I open it safely, clean it up thoroughly, and optimize the fan usage and cooling system so it runs quietly and cool.
Having trouble keeping multiple tabs or programs open without stuttering? Adding more memory gives your computer breathing room to multitask smoothly.
Heads up: not every computer can be upgraded (some have memory soldered to the board), but most can. I'll check yours first.
Worried about online fraud, hacked accounts, or stolen passwords? I secure your router, set up an easy password manager, configure two-factor protection, and set up automatic backups.
Don't waste money on overpriced computers or parts you don't need. If your laptop is simply too old to upgrade, or you're shopping for a new laptop, desktop, custom gaming PC, or even a home server, I will research the market, compare specs, and report back with the best options for your budget and goals.
Accidentally formatted a drive, or a computer won't turn on? I attempt to recover your irreplaceable photos and documents onto a safe USB drive. No Data, No Fee Guarantee — if I can't recover your files, you don't pay.
Clicking or physically damaged drive? I'll refer you to a professional data recovery lab instead, so your files keep the best chance of being saved.
Got old desktop towers, broken laptops, monitors, power supplies, cords, or unwanted electronics taking up space in your closet or garage? I will come directly to your door to haul away any unwanted e-waste.
Your privacy is 100% protected: Before any machine is recycled or repurposed, I personally erase every drive: hard drives get a full overwrite, and SSDs get the drive's built-in secure-erase. Prefer it destroyed? I'll physically dismantle the drive instead. Either way, your files, photos, and passwords can't be recovered. Bundled with another service? Haul-away and drive wipe is 100% FREE!
