Hi. I'm Craig Neubauer.

Software tools I personally use and recommend

A satisfied customer is a repeat customer

I always pride myself in giving the customer more than expected.

"Throughout the past few years, we have had Craig come to our home to repair, add new drives, & basically clean up our PC. We have had nothing but professional and knowledgeable experiences. Craig was always there when we needed him, even if it was an emergency. We will continue to rely on on Craig when we need help with our PC. He's a genius when it comes to computers!"

Chris G.

"The service provided by Craig has been wonderful. He has managed to keep our old PC running well to suit our needs until we could afford a new one. He is honest, fair and works quickly to get our computer back to us. His service is great and we will definitely be calling him if we have computer issues in the future."

Chris C.

"Craig's knowledge base is extensive. I have never asked a question that he has not answered. If he does not have an immediate answer, he will do the necessary research to find the answer. Highly recommended."

Lenore V.

"When it comes to computer problems, or even setting up a new system, I have found Craig very knowledgeable regarding all aspects inherent in the PC world. He is an excellent diagnostician when any given PC problem presented could have any one of several causes. In my opinion, his depth of knowledge of PC hardware, operating systems, software, and connected devices is more than adequate to solve any situation encountered."

Since I got my first computer in 1982, I've been hooked ever since!

My experience in the digital world is extensive and I'm still learning every day..

My Background

After getting my Computer Science degree, I worked on many different computer systems right up to the latest Intel i7s with Windows 10. As a programmer, I wrote several small to midsize company accounting systems and worked at Crucible Materials Corp. modernizing and expanding their payroll system. I have done a great deal of tech support for both companies and individuals. I also do graphic and web design, logos and animations.

How I work

Ease, convenience & quick turn around times are what I strive for with my customers. As we all have busy lives, I endeavor to work around my customer's schedules. For many of my services, I can come to your home or you can simply drop off your system to me.
I am always willing to explain what I am doing and encourage you to ask questions. I also will recommend free or inexpensive software tools to assist you in maintaining your own systems.

My Rates

Taking your PC to one of those service centers typically results in wiping your computer clean and reinstalling Windows. They roughly charge $200 and it can take several days to a week to get it back.

My services are $30 an hour. An average service from me is between two and four hours and it is generally done on the same day. I also intend to keep everything on your system intact preventing a complete reinstall.

Please ask about my referral program.
