In-Home Computer Services
The following list of computer services is an incomplete list of the services I provide. It's just a small sample of the in-home services I perform. If you don't see what you are looking for, please feel free to contact me regarding any needs you have.


Computer Installation:
Complete set up of a new or existing computer system. Expert setup saves you unnecessary wasted time on the telephone with technical support staff and/or returning purchases to manufacturers and retailers.
Computer Detailing / Preventive Maintenance:
Dust buildup on the internal components can lead to several problems. One is that dust acts as a thermal insulator, which prevents proper system cooling. Excessive heat shortens the life of system components. Additionally, the dust can contain conductive elements that can cause partial short circuits in a system. Insure your system has a long life by providing it with the professional cleaning it needs.
 
Hardware Upgrades:
Great improvements can be made to your system by installing, replacing, or upgrading your PC's hardware. Professional installation saves you time and money by eliminating calls to tech support or having to return your item. I can install any of the following items at the same low price (Installation only, parts extra):
PC Tune-Up:
A full inspection, full service Tune-Up improves PC performance and stability. Maintenance needs vary from computer to computer. Services I perform may include, but are not be limited to: freeing of hard disk space and system resources, installation of windows updates & security patches, installing or removing Network Components and much much more. Turn your slow PC into a lean mean web surfing machine.
Trouble Shooting & Repair:
Computer malfunctions are a common occurrence, and can require trouble shooting to root out the cause of the problem. System diagnostics must be performed before repair can begin. Diagnosis and repair are one charge. However, should the system require the replacement of hardware or software to resolve the issue, an additional charge will apply.
Virus Removal:
Viruses have become increasingly complex and virus infections involve more system elements than ever before. Viruses can obliterate data, corrupt programs so that they no longer run, stall servers with e-mail bombs, and--in the case of the "I Love You" worm virus--replace files, steal passwords and infect address books as it propagates itself. All infections should be removed immediately to protect your privacy, and data.
Clean installation of Windows:
Having this service performed, makes a computer like new again. I format and partition the hard drive. Reinstall Windows, all system drivers and applications, returning the system to a new state.
