Bruce installed our pc last summer, and it's actually been working just fine since. A couple times, however, there were minor problems with messages popping up that I couldn't initially figure out myself, and I emailed Bruce, suggesting we schedule a time for him to come out. In both instances (the latest yesterday, Sunday, no less, and he answered the same day) he said, essentially, "Naw, not serious enough to have me out, do this . . ." and of course he was right! The honesty and help are much appreciated, and eventually something serious enough will go wrong he will have to make a trip out!
Description of Work: Error messages regarding anti-virus programs, error message regarding dial up disconnect problems.

He called to keep me informed of his arrival time. I appreciated that. There were a couple of times I felt like he was a little too impatient with what I was trying to tell him while he was checking out the printer problem. However, by the time he was finished my printer was working just fine...which is what I had called about. He was very prompt and efficient with his time while here. He petted my dogs and shook my hand when he left.
Description of Work: Bruce reinstalled my printer software and sold me a cable that was needed to connect the printer to my computer. He also gave me instructions for hooking up my fax connection. He offered to do it, but I felt it was something my husband could do.

With me by his side, he asked my preferences and efficiently did what I needed him to do. He gave me suggestions on protection programs and installed them while he was here. He transferred files from my old computer and literally "got me up and running." There were a couple of things that came up after he left and he graciously answered my questions in an email that I sent him at no charge. Knows what he is doing or knows where to find it out. Neighbors liked him as well.
Description of Work: Bruce Stokes came out and connected my new computer and all of the programs. He was here in four days and worked three hours to complete the work.

Contacted Bruce Stokes of Computer Housecalls, Inc. He came to the house, looked at problem and took both laptop and PC for work. He was able to get info off of the laptop prior to the demise of the hard drive. Work was completed in timely fashion and Mr. Stokes was in contact with this writer during all stages of the process. He was very helpful and provided much helpful insight into the technology. Should I need this type of service in the future, I will not hesitate to call him again.

Job 1: Bruce was prompt, helpful, and efficient. He solved my problems, gave me good advice on how to avoid system performance issues in the further, and made sure all my questions had been answered. I will call him for any and all further needs. Job 2: Bruce was very helpful in getting the wireless router fixed, despite some challenges with the hardware itself. He also agreed to come at a very convenient time for me and quickly. Will continue to use Bruce for computer needs.

Mr. Stoke was at our home for over 2 1/2 hours, but only charged us for 2 hours, and then gave us Angie's List discount. Also, he made a follow up visit to complete the wireless installation, and did not charge us for this visit. We were very pleased with his work. He arrived both times on time or a bit early, was polite and patient.
Description of Work: Worked on desktop computer and laptop computer in our home. Installed wireless on the laptop. Laptop required major cleaning up and installation.

HE WAS ON TIME, POLITE, FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM & CORRECTED IT WITHIN AN HOUR, ADDED SOME ADD'L ANTI VIRUS, FIREWALLS, ETC. SOFTWARE AT NO CHARGE, SHOWED ME HOW TO DEFRAG & CLEAN THE PROGRAMS, ETC. AND CLEANED UP A LOT OF JUNK THAT WAS HANGING AROUND IN MY COMPUTER. I WOULD GIVE HIM AN A+ RECOMMENDATION AND IF NEEDED, HE'LL BE THE FIRST ONE I CALL IF I HAVE A COMPUTER PROBLEM AGAIN.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH BRUCE WAS OUTSTANDING. HIS VOICE MAIL MESSAGE WAS VERY CLEAR ABOUT COST, ETC. HE RETURNED MY CALL VERY QUICKLY. HE ARRANGED AN APPOINTMENT WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. HE CALLED BEFORE COMING. HE CAME ON TIME. HE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND WAS CLEAR ABOUT WHAT IT WAS -- THE MOTHERBOARD WAS NO LONGER OF USE. THE PC HAD CRASHED AFTER THE PREVIOUS REPAIRPERSON LEFT MY HOUSE. BASED ON MY LIMITED USE OF A PC, HE MADE RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT THE TYPE OF TOWER TO PURCHASE. I LEFT A MESSAGE ON SUNDAY TO LET HIM KNOW I HAD PURCHASED THE TOWER AND HE CALLED BACK AND WAS HERE ON MONDAY A.M. TO INSTALL. I CAN'T PRAISE BRUCE ENOUGH...MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH PC REPAIR PEOPLE [NON-ANGIE'S LIST] WAS I COULDN'T FOLLOW WHAT THEY WERE SAYING...TOO TECHNICAL...AND TALKED TOO MUCH...AND HAD LIMITED KNOWLEDGE. THANK YOU BRUCE AND ANGIE'S LIST FOR BEING THERE FOR ME.
Description of Work: BRUCE CAME TWICE: ONCE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THE SECOND TIME TO SET UP NEW PC. HIS COST WAS $63.00 PER VISIT [$7 DISCOUNT FOR ANGIE'S MEMBERS].
