Before you call

3 questions to ask any computer repair (laptop & desktop) pro

~30 seconds

Better questions get better answers. Better answers get better work. Take these to the call.

  1. 1

    Are you licensed and insured in Texas, and can I verify both?

    Yes is the only acceptable answer. Reputable providers volunteer their license number and current liability + workers comp insurance. If they hedge, walk.

  2. 2

    Can I see a written, line-itemed estimate before any work starts?

    Industry standard. Hourly + materials, or flat-rate, with each line broken out. Verbal-only or 'we'll figure it out' should be a deal-breaker.

  3. 3

    What's your warranty — separately on labor and on parts?

    Manufacturer warranty covers parts. Labor warranty varies by company (30 days to 2 years for most trades). Get both in writing on the invoice.

See the full buyer's guide below for credential verification, what drives the cost, and red flags to walk away from.

What to ask, how to verify their license, what drives the price, and the red flags worth walking away from. Independent buyer's guide.

Questions to ask before they start

Reputable providers answer all of these without hedging.

  • Are you licensed and insured in Texas, and can I verify both?

    Yes is the only acceptable answer. Reputable providers volunteer their license number and current liability + workers comp insurance. If they hedge, walk.

  • Can I see a written, line-itemed estimate before any work starts?

    Industry standard. Hourly + materials, or flat-rate, with each line broken out. Verbal-only or 'we'll figure it out' should be a deal-breaker.

  • What's your warranty — separately on labor and on parts?

    Manufacturer warranty covers parts. Labor warranty varies by company (30 days to 2 years for most trades). Get both in writing on the invoice.

  • Who is the actual technician coming to my house, and do you do background checks?

    Subcontracted work is fine if disclosed up front. Background checks are standard for residential service. Both questions should get a direct answer.

  • How do you handle the situation if you find more work needed than I called about?

    Reputable providers stop work, call you with photos, and don't proceed until you approve the new scope in writing. No surprise upcharge at completion.

What drives the cost of computer repair (laptop & desktop) in Freer

The variables that move the quote. Get each line in writing on the estimate.

Scope size
Larger jobs price by area or unit count. Get the scope in writing.
Material grade
Most categories have a budget / standard / premium tier. Ask which tier the quote is built on.
Urgency
Same-day and after-hours service typically prices higher than scheduled work.
Access difficulty
Hard-to-reach work (multi-story, tight spaces, finished surfaces) adds labor.

Red flags — walk away if you see any of these

  • Demands more than 30% deposit before any work starts — Texas Property Code §53.108 limits residential pre-payment to 25% for most home-improvement contracts.
  • Pressures you to sign today for a 'discount' that disappears tomorrow. Reputable contractors will honor a quote for at least 30 days.
  • Door-to-door storm chasers showing up days after a hail or wind event. Texas requires a written 3-day right of rescission on storm-damage contracts (Texas Insurance Code §27.02).
  • No physical local address, no answering service after hours, or a phone number that's not in service.
  • Quote that's dramatically lower than other quotes — usually means missing scope, cheap materials, or no insurance.

Common questions

Will I lose my data during the repair?

Standard repair never touches storage. For OS reinstalls or upgrades, we image the drive first and verify the copy before doing anything destructive. Data is only deleted on written authorization.

My laptop got a spill. Is it dead?

Probably not. Bring it in turned off and unplugged. Spill response is opening the unit, cleaning the boards, replacing what corroded, and testing components. The longer it sits powered up, the worse the outcome.

Can you remove a virus?

We do an OS reinstall with your data preserved. That is the only honest answer to a malware infection. 'Cleaning' is theater. Reinstall guarantees the machine is clean.

I have a 5+ year old laptop. Worth fixing?

Usually yes for screen, battery, SSD, or RAM. Not usually for board-level work because parts age out. We tell you straight up.

Can you recover files from a clicking hard drive?

Yes for most logical failures. Mechanical failures (head crash) require a clean-room recovery partner and run higher. We quote up front before starting.

Do you work on Macs?

Yes. Most MacBook screen, battery, SSD, and keyboard repairs. T2 and Apple Silicon machines have specific limits on third-party storage swaps; we explain what is and isn't possible per model.

Can you set up a new laptop and move my stuff over?

Yes. We migrate user data, apps, settings, and email between Windows or Mac machines. Bring both devices, allow a half day.
