After I ran all the programs as Jim had directed, my computer is working very well and running faster than it has in years. I am completely satisfied with the work he did. He was punctual and took time to explain what he was doing and why. I am not very computer literate, and he was patient with his explanations. The charge for the service was very fair.
Description of Work: Jim Rumreich check my computer hardware and cleaned up the fan in the computer case. He then he checked the software for malware and viruses, added a free on-line virus program. I ran the various programs during the rest of the day .

Very pleased with the services provided. Equally pleased with the time Jim took to explain the source of the laptop's various ills and what could be reasonably expected from a repair effort. I would absolutely return to GeekHandyman in the future and have recommended him to family already. .

My Dell laptop seemed to be infected with malware and kept shutting down. I left a message for Jim Labor Day weekend, assuming he would call me back sometime that week. He returned my call on Labor Day and invited me to bring over the laptop that morning, which I did. He asked me several questions to help diagnose the problem and also answered my questions. He removed the malware (which was actually "rootkit" software) and showed me exactly how he had done that. He also removed and/or disabled extraneous programs (after going over them with me) and installed free virus protection. He explained everything to me patiently. He was thorough, professional, and very fairly priced.
Description of Work: Removed malware and tested to make sure everything was working; installed free anti-malware software and explained how and when to use it; "cleaned up" computer to make it run faster.

I sent Jim an email asking him to contact me about setting up a small business network. He replied promptly and we scheduled a call the following morning at 8 AM. He asked a number of questions of me and helped me to understand the scope of what I actually was requesting. While he stated he probabaly could do what we wanted him to do, we ultimately were asking him to do 3 weeks of work in 1 week. He said it could be done, but he didn't feel comfortable overpromising and underdelivering. I appreciated his candor and the fact that he spent over an hour of his time talking to me without charging a dime. I will definitely use Jim again.
Description of Work: Jim and I spoke for over an hour about setting up a small business network. I felt that he went above and beyond in trying to understand what we needed and then providing some solutions.

We had difficulty connecting at first - I think he was on vacation, but once he was in town, Jim did an awesome job at - diagnosing the problem, - getting and installing a replacement drive - restoring the old system He also took the time to go over everything that he did in troubleshooting and returned the old drive to me. If it were not for the difficulty in connecting at first, Jim would definitely have straight A's from me. I recommend his services if you are having problems with your computer.
Description of Work: My laptop wouldn't boot due to a disk error. Jim was able to replace the drive and recover all data.

Jim was very professional. We had 4 computers that were malfunctioning and Jim was able to fix all 4, on-site, in just a few hours. It would have cost over well over $1,000 to replace these computers. We will certainly call Jim again.

Overall, our experience was excellent and I would definitely reccomend his services in the future.
Description of Work: Jim is great! I had originally brought my laptop to be fixed since the screen had gone blank, but after further inspection and installing a new screen, I had to purchase a new laptop. Jim helped us the whole way, from reccomending the best processor to transferring all of my information to my new laptop. He was extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable. The cost was very appropriate for all the work done and we weren't charged for the new screen, just the shipping costs. I would highly reccomend his services to anyone looking for a computer handyman.

He called back within 12 hours of the first call. We talked so he could understand the issue. I dropped the computer off at his home and picked it up a day later. Although we originally though some detailed work might be needed, he called to say that he was able to retrieve the files and the computer was working fine at that point. I would have never figured it out and would likely have gone to get a new computer. Well worth the payment and I would use him again. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: My computer just died. I couldn't access anything on the hard drive including all my pictures for about 4 years.

Jim is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable with great attention to detail. He knows the ins and outs of hardware and software, and is good at finding what was appropriate for us, given our needs. He is very patient and willing to answer our endless questions. He can see both the big picture and also remember all the tiny details. He was meticulous about ensuring the computers were working exactly as we wanted. Our computers are our lifeline and we felt very comfortable putting them in his hands. My only (very small) concern was that once or twice it took me a couple of days to reach him, but I think that is because he is in great demand because he is so good!
Description of Work: We asked Jim to help us buy two new home computers and accessories (printers, etc.) and then install them, including transferring everything we needed from our old computers.

I called Jim when I had trouble connecting a new laptop to my home wireless network. Jim called back within a couple hours and we set up a time the next day to see if he could fix the problem without a housecall. He talked me through the steps needed to solve the problem, and in a few minutes the problem was fixed! He was friendly and polite and gave clear guidance on the phone. I would definitely use his services again and would highly recommend him to others.

I like him very much. He?s very helpful and responsive. Whatever he says he does according to his description. His price was reasonable. I was very happy with whatever I paid and what I got. His charges vary from person to person. I would use his services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Geek Handyman Computer Services for my computer work. I last used their services sometime last year. I’m just inadequate with the computer, and he’s a good helper. Basically I do not know what exactly was wrong. He solved the issue immediately and told me some things to do.

He arrived on time and was pleasant. He asked me what issues I needed resolved and then went right to each task.
Description of Work: Set up new printer on new computer. On older computer, it was running very slow, he made it so that it runs much quicker and more efficiently. Transferred files from old hard drive to new computer, setting them up in a much more logical user friendly way. Helped me to find a very reasonably priced wireless connector to link older computer and printer.
