Computer repair in Boston, MA
Slow PCs, blue screens, hardware swaps — diagnosed at your place, fixed in the same visit.
How much does computer repair cost in Boston?
Estimates are typical residential ranges and assume our standard hourly rate. Because we bill hourly, the final cost depends on how long the job actually takes — it can run higher. A business rate or any active discount may change your price. You'll always get a real quote after diagnosis.
Most computer problems we see — the spinning beach ball, the dead-slow startup, the blue-screen-on-Tuesday — get diagnosed in the first hour and fixed in the same visit. We bring tools, common parts, and a no-jargon approach.
Much of our Boston work is in older triple-deckers and brick walk-ups around Cambridge, Somerville, and the Back Bay, where plaster-and-lath walls and tight wiring closets make networking and mounting jobs trickier than they'd be in a new build.
Computer repair is the diagnosis and fixing of hardware or software problems with a desktop, laptop, or all-in-one PC — without removing the device from your home or office. Most issues fall into one of four buckets: it won't boot, it's slow, it crashes, or peripherals don't work.

What problems does computer repair fix?
Computer won't boot
Won't get past the manufacturer logo, stuck on a spinning circle, blue/black screens. Most of these are software, not hardware — fixable in one visit.
Suddenly slow
Used to be fast, now it crawls. Usually startup bloat, failing storage, or something running in the background eating CPU.
Crashes / freezes
Random restarts, freezes, or apps closing on their own. We diagnose whether it's RAM, drive, drivers, or software conflict.
Repair vs. replace
Repair
Under 5 years old, single component issue, or a software-only problem. Almost always cheaper and faster than buying new.
Replace
Over 7 years old, motherboard failure, or you're already due for an upgrade. We can still recover your files and migrate them onto the new machine.
Common questions
How fast can you get to me in Boston?+
Same-day service is usually available throughout our 35-mile Boston service area. Booking online is the fastest path; for an urgent job — data loss, ransomware, a business outage — call (833) 429-4335 and we'll dispatch as soon as a tech is free.
Should I bring it in instead?+
We're on-site by design. You don't need to disconnect anything or load it into your car.
Do I need to back up first?+
Doesn't hurt. We're careful, but if you've got something that absolutely can't be lost, copying it elsewhere first is always a good move.
