Great as usual. He took care of all the computer and printer issues. He also helps me do small things around my house that I wouldn't be able to do on my own. He goes out of his way every time he comes by. He is very congenial and professional. I would recommend him to anybody.
Description of Work: Erik works on my computer for me every 3 months. He cleans up acquired junk and updates all the software so that my computer is running great!

Erik has returned in the past if I had a question. He's always been great to me.
Description of Work: Erik does maintenance regularly for me. Today he set up a new internet modem and router so I don't have to pay Comcast the $10 monthly modem rental. He's helping me save money. Erik is very helpful and friendly.

A very opinionated but inept technician. If anyone had warned me, I would never have permitted him in my home. This is my worse experience ever with an Angie's list provider. I felt like I was dealing with a slimy, used car salesman.

He explained everything that he was going to do over the phone. He came earlier than expected and sat with me and worked on my computer explaining everything that he was doing. He called twice after that to see if I had any problems. He made 2 visits to my home and said that he would keep in touch to make certain that I was not having problems.
Description of Work: Came to my home and cleaned out my computer of unnecessary files, downloads, etc. Backed everything up and when the computer was completely clean he put all of my files, etc back. I have fewer files and programs. My computer is much faster.

Based on Erik's diagnosis of the nature of my laptop's problem (it was the hardware on the laptop's main printed circuit board related to the laptop's taking in power from the power jack on the laptop case), Erik quite candidly let me know that he was not able to help me to fix the problem, and described to me the types of businesses which might be able to fix the problem for me. I then remembered that I had purchased an extended warranty for the computer, the period of its coverage I was still within at that time. So, I sent the laptop to the company servicing the warranty, and they sent me back a laptop with a repaired power inlet and properly functioning power circuitry on the main printed circuit board. Happy ending, problem solved. Even though Erik was not able to repair a hardware problem that was as low-level as the power inlet jack and circuitry on my laptop, he quickly, efficiently, professionally, courteously and correctly diagnosed the problem, which helped me to turn my thoughts in new directions - which helped me to remember the extended warranty I had purchased on the laptop through which I got my problem solved. AND, I will certainly purchase a reputable two-year extended warranty on any laptop computer that I will ever purchase. I have only positive thoughts and words about Erik. I would readily call him again with another computer problem that I might encounter in my future.
Description of Work: Erik returned my call promptly and consulted with me over the phone about my observations of the behavior of my laptop, and about the results of the tests and further observations I'd made about the behavior of the laptop and the condition of the laptop itself. He knew exactly what questions to ask and the entire consultation was very short, efficient and as thorough as was needed for Erik to get a handle on what was the problem with my laptop.

erik was on time and pleasant .I talked about my computer needs to get some of his advice then, we decided to restore two computers ,there were some unexpected challenges but, erik focused on solving them and did. I was very pleased with the end result as i now have two computes running like new machines. Erik is willing to visit from time to time to help maintain my pc's. performance.
Description of Work: Erik saved me alot of money, by revamping my current computers and saving me from spending thousands on new machines that wouldn't have necessarily been beneficial for me right now.

Erik persevered when he ran into problems with my machine and kept me apprised of his progress. He will keep my computer "healthy" in the future by coming to my house every 3 months and checking it. I am glad to know I have someone to contact if I run into problems.
Description of Work: I initially took the computer to Erik, who saved my files, "blew out" my computer to clean it up, re-loaded new programs and security system, copied my files back onto my computer, then came to my house to make sure it was properly hooked up to printer, external hard drive, etc. He checked the printer/scanner/copier/fax machine to make sure functions were working. He will check my computer for problems every 3 months.

Everything went well. Erik encountered no problems which he did not know how to solve and demonstrated complete competence and knowledge of my PC software and hardware. He moved with such ease through clean-ups, driver upgrades, and software downloads and installation I was dizzy just watching him work. To top it off he even finished the job ahead of his estimated completion time.
Description of Work: Arrived ahead of schedule. Came in and cleaned out all junk files and unnecessary programs slowing down my computer. Checked and updated all drivers where needed. Improved computer start-up and shut-down time. Improved Internet security. Optimized the browser. Solved problems with blurry webpages. My computer now runs better than it ever has!

Found Eric to be extremely knowledgeable, brought my computer to him the same day I called and it was fixed and running perfectly the next day. He brought it to my house, and also helped me order additional RAM memory which has made my computer run better than new. and added a more secure virus protection software. This guy really knows what he is doing, and will not install or change something if he thinks it will interfere with the computer's efficiency. I'm really not that savvy about computers, but I need my computer for personal and work issues, so it's important to me that it works. I'm very glad to have Eric around and will be suing him in the future.
Description of Work: My laptop had the blue screen of death and was out of warranty. Samsung wanted me to ship it to Texas, but I thought I'd check locally. Eric restored the hard driove and added more RAM memory.

i dropped the computer off at Erik's place of business on a Friday night but forgot to bring my discs and power cord and had to go home and return with them. Erik was very kind and understanding and before I returned, he had already backed up my hard drive. Erik had a busy schedule with an appointment the next morning, but he squeezed me in so that I would not have any further problems. On Saturday morning, he called to give me some good news about what he had found, to rest any anxiety I may havce had. When I picked up my computer on Sunday morning, it was working beautifully. I am happy to "be back in business" and delighted with the outcome. I highly recommend Erik. He is competent and cares about his work and his clients.
Description of Work: My computer was greatly in need of a professional who could detect viruses and who had the expertise to know which programs created problems and which programs could be safely used without overloading my computer with their preferences (vs mine). Erik asked the right questions over the phone, told me what I needed to bring and had a plan in his mind before he even had my computer in his hands. And he was right!

I had a great experience with Erik. He was able to repair my computer issues and now the machine is running great! He hooked up my new printer and even made sure that my daughter's laptop was set up to print too! Erik is a very friendly, knowledgeable guy and I highly recommend him for your computer repair/service needs. I plan to follow up with him on a regular maintenance plan to ensure that my machine is always running properly. Thanks Erik, I'm glad I turned to Angie's List and found you, now I know that I have someone that I can count on for reliable service.
Description of Work: My computer was very sluggish and some programs were not running any longer, even my printer would go off-line. Erik backed up my information, wiped the computer clean and reinstalled the operating system and Microsoft programs that I use.

Erik went above and beyond what I would have expected. He came to my house and spent many hours trying valiantly to repair my computer but the hard drive was no longer functioning. He then repaired and updated an old computer so that I was able to do the things that were necessary and give me time to research a new computer purchase. He was very friendly and knowledgeable explaining things in terms I could understand. This was my first experience with having someone come to my house for computer repair and it was a fabulous one. Thanks Angie's list for giving me my very own "computer guy"!

Erik came up to work on several computer problems on my PC in 2009 (I do not remember the exact date). He did good maintenance on most, but what I most wanted was to get my wireless modem working. When he left, it was working, but a short time later--less than two weeks--it failed. I called him and he said he woudl come up (this was hard to schedule), but called me from the train that day to make clear he would charge me for this second visit to fix what he failed to make work the first time. He had an excuse for why it wasn't his fault, but another provider easily got it working, and this time it KEPT working, so it appears the first fix was inadequate. Erik also pushed way too hard for the Angie's list A review I gave him the first time (before the problem). This true story sets that right.
Description of Work: No follow-up!

The visit to repair computers went very well and Erik accomplished all that was expected and more.
Description of Work: Erik spent a great deal of time repairing 2 computers that had multiple viruses and that were not responding adequately. He is obviously very knowledgeable and brought the computers back from basically non-functioning to very serviceable pieces of equipment. We will definitely call him again for maintenance and additional repairs. In addition, he set up the computers with additional memory and got rid of unnecessary programs so that they operate much faster. Right on time and he did an excellent job.

His work went extremely well as it thus far always has in the past. Of course there was a charge;however, I choose not to share that personal information of how much I am spending / investing in extending the viable life of each of my two computers.
Description of Work: The following is my opinion based on my years of experience having Erik work on my desk top and old fashion lap top. In his most recent welcomed work based visit to my house, Erik spent over five hours "meticulous nose to the grind stone hours" refurbishing our desk top. He is extremely reliable and absolutely knows what he is doing. Erik defines what it means to be punctual and what it means to tenaciously and diligently work until "the job is done right". He also spent three and half hours a week prior to that as a preliminary series of steps toward refurbishing.

Everything is working great. Using our home office is a much more enjoyable experience. Erik is a dedicated professional. When he encounters a problem he works tirelessly to solve it. He really took the time to understand our needs and the problems we were having with the existing set up. I really liked that he called to check in after the work was done to make sure everything was running properly.
Description of Work: Erik came to our house and helped us improve the network for our home office. He got our machines working better and faster and streamlined our whole computer set up. He also consulted on what new computer we should purchase and set up the new computer with the network.
