Introduction

Need a real tech guru? You've found "The Computer Answer Guy" (no kidding; I did a radio program and was a commentator on CBS TV under that name for years!) Not only that, but I've been building furniture and tackling do-it-yourself stuff for ... well, for longer than some of my clients have been alive! I'm a perfectionist, and reliable in every way. Let me prove it to you!

Great service! I’m so happy that Jeff was available to come over my apartment the next day, on a Sunday! and work on my computer that I was unable to restart and where I had plenty of files that I hadn’t backed up for a while. He retrieved and saved all my files and reinstalled Windows. I’m so pleased that I didn’t lose all that valuable information! I will definitely contact Jeff again if needed and refer him to my friends.

Details: PC • Laptop • System error or blue screen • My home, venue, etc.

We were unable to fix the computer problem, but it was a very unique situation involving an old program and I had the sense that if he couldn't fix it nobody could. In working with him I could tell he is very knowledgeable and will contact him again for future

So so helpful. Turns out, my laptop has a one way fix which I kind of expected to hear, but he gave me a lot of direction and insight as to how this issue would best be handled. Definitely knows what he is doing.

Jeff was great!! He fixed my problem and educated me on how it occurred in the first place. I'll be using Jeff for future problems and referring friends, too.
