Computer repair in Milwaukie, Oregon
On-site computer repair and patient one-to-one help in Milwaukie, Oak Grove and Sellwood-adjacent southeast. No trip charge.
Milwaukie sits in a useful spot for me — close to inner southeast Portland without the parking, and easy to reach in the evening, which is when a lot of people would rather have me come round anyway.
The housing here is mixed: mid-century houses, some older cottages near the river, and newer infill. That mix shows up in the work. On the older end I see the plaster-and-lath wifi problem familiar from Portland proper. On the newer end I see people who have good internet and a bad router, which is a more satisfying problem because it is cheap to fix.
Milwaukie also produces a steady stream of what I would call inherited machines — a computer passed down from a family member, still perfectly serviceable, but signed into someone else's accounts with nobody knowing the passwords. Untangling that safely, without locking you out of your own photos, is a specific skill and one I am glad to do.
If you are near the Sellwood bridge or along the river, ask about evening appointments. That corridor is straightforward for me on the way through.
