Data recovery in Boston, MA
Photos, documents, drives that won't boot — recovered when possible. We tell you the chances upfront.
How much does data recovery 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.
When a drive starts clicking, won't mount, or your laptop won't turn on, the first hour matters. We attempt safe recovery on-site, and if the drive needs clean-room work we coordinate that with you.
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.
Data recovery is the process of retrieving photos, documents, and other files from a drive that's failing, won't mount, or has been formatted. The first hour with a non-booting drive matters most — improper recovery attempts can make professional recovery harder or impossible.

What problems does data recovery fix?
Drive won't mount
Computer doesn't see it, or sees it but can't read it. Often recoverable with the right software — sometimes needs hardware-level work.
Accidentally deleted
Files emptied from trash, formatted partition, or overwritten. Faster you call, better the chances.
Water / drop damage
Phone in the pool, laptop off the counter. Don't power it back on — that's when more damage happens. Call us first.
Software vs. clean-room recovery
Software recovery
Drive is detected by the computer but files are missing, deleted, or unreadable. Same-visit, $150–$300 typical.
Clean-room recovery
Drive clicks, won't spin up, or had physical damage (water, drop, fire). $400–$1,200 at our partner clean-room, 5–10 business days.
