Hi folks! I closed my company in June of 2014 when I moved from Louisville Kentucky to the Denver Colorado metro area. I'm grateful for the patronage of my clients over the years, and wish everyone well in their future endeavors! I do not check the Angie's List company mailbox anymore, so please do not send messages to me using that mailbox. Cheers from sunny Colorado! - Mike Bailey COMPUTER SUPPORT, NETWORK SUPPORT.
This is the second (maybe third) time I've used Mike Bailey. I did a review of him here two years ago and am back with the same glowing account of what it's like to work with him. The last time I called Mike he was still living in the Louisville area, but was planning a move to Colorado. This certainly wasn't an issue as he is able to remote in to a PC no matter the miles and solve most issues that way - coolest thing ever just to sit back and watch the magic happen ! We set up a time convenient to both of us and with my list of questions and concerns handy, I called him at the appointed time. He then 'remoted' into my PC and inside of an hour was able to resolve and/or answer every single question on my long list, check all my settings, update where needed, run a malware scan and in only the way he can - explain everything he was doing along the way. Besides being able to remote in, one of the best thing about Mike is his ability to 'meet you where you are' as to your computer knowledge and experience. He has never made me feel like a moron for not understanding what he is doing or saying, but instead, patiently and openly explains as he goes. Another plus is that he doesn't make changes to your PC just because it's more 'high tech' and the way he'd like to see it. I like my simple way of seeing things on my PC, he respects that and even remembered how I like things from our last appointment. Having said that, two years ago he did insist I have a better means of backing up than the external hard drive I was using off and on.. He highly recommend and installed Carbonite and I have been forever grateful. Just months after installing it, the hard drive crashed on my nearly new PC and had I not had Carbonite, all would have been lost. Btw, they have the best customer service ever and restored everything back the way it had been with one phone call. Really nice folks. I may have said this in my other review, but there really aren't enough words to describe the pleasure of doing business with Mike Bailey ! He's the only PC guy I'd EVER call.
Description of Work: Provided answers and solutions to a long list of problems that suddenly appeared on my PC. Checked for needed upgrades/downloads and took care of what was needed. Did a malware scan and many other things I can't remember.

I am not a tech person so Mike interacted a lot with my daughter - the tech lingo is beyond me. The two of them got everything disassembled and packed up so that we could get the unusable things out of the house. Got me switched over to my Mac and that was the end of that service call. Mike is very helpful and professional. Just had my HP printer (over 10 years old) die...I contacted Mike not knowing that he had moved out to Colorado since we had used his services. He responded within a couple of hours to let me know he had moved...somehow, he remembered everything re: our service several years ago...I was surprised that he remembered us. At any rate, he was able to give me a name of the person who he is referring back here in Louisville...we are having problems getting the new Epson printer hooked up. Definitely a two thumbs up for Mike. Thanks Mike for your patience and help throw this "tech land".
Description of Work: Dell hard drive crashed several years ago. Of course, the whole thing was over a decade old...ancient in technology terms I know. Mike helped pull out the hard drive and also check on the status of another Dell computer system that was under the roof and it too was out of date. He helped to break everything down for us and gave us the name of a company to get the stuff recycled.

I had a four page list of questions and concerns regarding my new PC. Mike showed such patience and willingness to help and even explained what he was doing as he went along. If you own a PC, Mike Bailey is the ONLY person you need to call. I have his card on my desk and his number in my phone. He is very good about answering or returning calls and, in my case, he even walked me through some steps over the phone to resolve an issue I was having while waiting for our appointment date. I am so happy to finally find someone for all my PC needs !
Description of Work: He saved me money on selecting and installing a different antivirus program than the one I had selected, set me up with 'cloud storage' so I didn't have to remember to back up my files, tweaked a number of things to make my PC more user-friendly and answered the dozens of questions I had. He resolved every computer issue during this two hour appointment, as well as a 30 minute phone consult 3 weeks before.

Outstanding service and professionalism. Mike's technical ability is superb, and his client communication skills are stellar. He quickly, smoothly and efficiently switched me from my antique desktop to a new one. He had tremendous patience with an old, computer illiterate guy like me, and spoke English, not computer-ese. I am sure you will not be sorry you consulted him. Just give him as much lead time as possible. He stays very busy, but you will be glad you waited for him!

Mike came over to check out what was wrong with my computer. He determined that my motherboard was broken and I needed to get a new one. Mike gave me several options of what I could do and referred me to companies/website to look for a new motherboard. I found one, had it shipped, and within a day Mike had my computer up and running again.

Response from Mike Bailey
We determined that the existing email host was blacklisting the TWC WAN IP address due to an intolerance for multithreaded browsers. The host would then have to manually remove the IP from the blacklist. This was a hassle for Larry and for the email hosting provider. By moving from the existing email host to Google Apps, the issue was resolved for good.

Great Service! Mike was very helpful on the phone, understanding what needed to be checked out on my computer. We set up an appointment, and he called when he was on his way. Mike was very knowledgeable and very professional. He was able to fix all of my computer problems, and updated everything. I feel like I have a new computer!! I will recommend him to any family members or friends that need help with their computers. Well worth the money--I've been putting this for too long!

He was marvelous! I am 74 years old so I have some technological deficiencies ... and he was able to get me to understand just what he was doing. He was punctual, friendly, efficient and patient ... and he worked me into his busy schedule quickly so I could deal with a virus infected system. He explained why he was doing each step and what it was for. His ability to reach out to my lower level of understanding without at all being condescending or impatient was greatly appreciated.
Description of Work: Set up my new Windows 8 computer and arranged it for an easier interface with the classic start-up. Retrieved files from a virus infected old computer, checked them and transferred them to my new computer. Downloaded some helpful programs for the type of use I have on a computer. Trained me to deal with the adaptations necessary for the new Windows 8 and new Microsoft Office programs.

Mike did an outstanding job; very impressive. It's obvious he knows computers in depth. He explained what was happening. As it turned out, my hard drive is deteriorating badly. Mike explained Microsoft will stop support Windows XP next spring. Thus it would be more cost effective to buy a new computer now than buy a new hard drive and have him reload all the software and then buy a new computer next year. Then, too, the hard drive may go out soon rather than later. Although he does not sell computers, he took the time to suggest what I should buy and the configurations based on my specific needs. Later in the day I called him to ask several questions I forgot to ask when he was in my home. He called back immediately and again provided, clear explanations. Mike has a most professional mien and he wants to provide exceptional service to his customers. He instills confidence.and trust.
Description of Work: Mike had to reload a corrupted boot file. Computer would not boot. Once he reloaded the needed file the computer booted and worked. Mike also check the other functions of my computer. One check found a possible reason for the problem. The hard drive has many bad sectors. Thus, it's a gamble how long the hard drive will last.

Mike is the very best computer support man there is. I am completely non-tech and needed to get my home and business updated with the correct routers to handle the growing needs of both areas. Additionally, I needed to make some essential changes to my business software so I could perform business and "at home" duties. It is so hard to get someone to do "house calls", but Mike went above and beyond the call of duty. He made sure he viewed the issues himself at the 2 separate locations, then went out and purchased the necessary items needed to update the systems. He installed, tested and then remotely monitored the systems so if we have an issue, all we have to do is call him and he can fix anything remotely. I can't tell you the pressure he lifted off of my shoulders. I don't have to keep up with the latest and greatest tech updates for my computer or other needs. If that wasn't the best part, then this is: Mike can completely explain the situation in your language! I am amazed at his ability to speak to users at all levels and get them all on the same page, especially in this ever changing area. Plus, did you notice the total cost? That included the hardware needed to update both my business and home, house calls and remote assistance. If you need any software or hardware assistance, then look no further, go with Mike Bailey, he will solve your issues, provide you outstanding service all at a completely reasonable cost. You couldn't expect more.

I can't say enough good things about Mike! I am self-employed and use my computer in my job. While working on a job late Friday evening a "warning" popped up on AVG that I had a Trojan Horse virus and instructing me to click to "fix it". Well, I clicked it and it totally deleted the program I was trying to get into (which I needed for my work.) Then other "warnings" started coming up and I didn't click anything else because I didn't want to delete anymore programs. I contacted Mike on Monday and he responded the soonest he could get to me was Tuesday. I told him that was fine. He came out, was here for two hours, and totally got rid of the problem, uninstalled AVG (my computer is actually too old to work well with it) and installed another protection. After trying to re-download the program I had lost and having problems, he simply called the company, determined what the problem was and got it downloaded. Then, as if he hadn't done enough already, when it came time to pay him, he said he would send me an invoice at the end of the month. That way, if I had any other problem between now and then, he could put it all on the same invoice! Unheard of in this day and time!!!

My computer power supply went out and I couldn't turn on my computer. I called Mike and he came over the next day. I needed a special order power supply, but Mike hooked up a regular one to my computer as a loaner - so I was up and running that day. He helped me order the correct part online through Amazon. He came back to install when I received the part. Unfortunately my new power supply was defective (not Mike's fault) so I had to return it and order another. When my second one came in, Mike came back over to take out the old one and put in the new one. I was able to return the original part since it was within the 30 day warranty. Mike was easy to work with when setting up times for him to come to my house. All in all, it was a three trip job. Was available and on time each time.

At first contact, Mike emailed me back and after an exchange recommended a few things for me to try. He wanted to see if he could help without coming to my home or charging me. When that wasn't successful, he scheduled me immediately. He showed up on time. He was professional and very nice--someone you could trust coming to your home. He tried whatever possible to save me time and money. Ultimately he could save one of the two laptops but was able to save the data from each, which was a big relief. He also showed me what to do so that he didn't have to charge me to sit around and watch my computers download data. Overall, I am not a techie. I don't understand much about how computers work. I needed someone who could be trusted, was knowledgeable and who wouldn't over charge me. Mike met all of those criteria and exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and would use him again without hesitation. I had thought about going to Office Depot or Best Buy but I am very glad I found Mike on Angie's List instead.
Description of Work: Two laptops crashed unexpectedly. I utilized Mike to save the data and help with bringing the computers back to life.

Mike Bailey should definitely be your point of contact for any computer services.
Description of Work: We were having sound problems with our laptop computer. We saw Mike Bailey's positive reviews on Angies List, and contacted him. Mike was prompt to return our call; he listened to the computer issue we were having, and the attempts we had made on our own to get sound to return. Mike knew it would be a process of elimination to figure out the problem and made a suggestion to reboot our U-Verse tower, which we had no idea needs rebooting just as your computer does. Fortunately this corrected our problem, and we now reboot our U-Verse tower regularly. Lucky for us our computer problem this time was small, but we will definitely use Mike for any computer problems, big or small, that may arise in the future. Thanks Mike!!

Description of Work: I called Mike after seeing other positive reviews on Angie's list and am very glad I did. I was having a problem with my printer/ copier/scanner. He showed up promptly at the arranged time and quickly determined that the machine needed to be replaced. He advised me about which machine would be a good buy and who had it on sale at the time. After purchasing it, I called him back to install it for me. Once again, he was very prompt and took very little time installing it for me and setting it up for use with both my desktop and laptop. .

I checked Angie's List to find computer repair services and saw that Mike had many positive reviews. I emailed him through Angie's List and received a very prompt call back. I was lucky and Mike was able to come out the same day. He arrived and got right to work. He got my computer up and running and corrected the setting that was causing the trouble so it won't happen again. As we talked, Mike was able to make suggestions of how to resolve other issues I was having. He helped me set up Carbonite for automatic back ups, set up my laptop to network with my desktop, fixed my printer's scan function, showed me the app that allowed my ipad to print, showed me the way to have my phone automatically upload the photos I take with my phone, and is in the middle of helping me with my daughter's mini computer. I couldn't be happier with Mike's services and would recommend him to family and friends without hesitation.
Description of Work: I called Mike primarily because my computer froze up, but I also had issues with my laptop and printer. Mike fixed my computer, got my all in one printer to scan like it is supposed to and checked my laptop for viruses. In addition, as we talked about different issues - Mike also ended up setting up my computers on a network, helped me set up a back up system, set up the app on my ipad so it would print, and even helped me with my phone. He offered alternate solutions and helped me set up my devices to the best of their capability.

Went very well. Called & made appointment. He ran a little late & kept me updated by phone. Came to our house & got things done quickly while giving me advice on keeping things running. Obviously knows what he's doing.
Description of Work: Mike had a desk top; a laptop (& a little bit on a second laptop) cleaned up & a printer done in under two hours! And guided me to get the network fixed. I had been told by two different people that I'd just have to replace the printer - trying to get a parallel printer converted to USB - it took Mike about 30 seconds to figure out how to do it!!! Will use him for all future computer needs.
