What do you do when you don't have an IT person to call when your computer goes haywire? Well, I know the answer now. I work remotely from home, but am responsible for my computer. I can often Google basic troubleshooting options, but my situation was crazy, as in my computer was possessed and I spent countless hours desperately to get my computer functional. I was completely dead in the water and mildly homicidal. I contacted George based on reviews from NextDoor and he was able to come immediately. He could have been singing "here I come to save the day" and it would have matched how I felt. He was just wonderful. Very thoughtful in how he approached my issue (computer scrolling to the right nonstop making nothing accessible to me while my computer undoubtedly just laughed at my frustration). "Friendly Tech" is quite apropos - he is extremely friendly and competent. He solved multiple problems all at once, and I now have him basically on speed dial. His price was more than fair. In fact, I reached out to him shortly after he left and told him I felt I had grossly underpaid him, but he politely said it was the price. George is smart, charming, trustworthy (so important these days when you invite someone into your home), and very good at what he does. I cannot say enough good things about him, as I type from my computer that is no longer scrolling! read more

George is Incredibly helpful, thorough and knowledgeable. He's a great listener. Even though he could t find the root cause of my issue, he gave me many possible solutions to investigate read more

I contacted several other businesses for my IT/Network connectivity issue, specific to my iMac. Many companies replied with estimates between $300 to $400 to come to my house and diagnose the issue. I went with George based on his reasonable rates and excellent Yelp reviews. George did some troubleshooting and had me up and running in no time. George explained the issue and gave many great recommendations on my wifi mesh system. George ensured everything was running well before he left and saved me a lot of cash. read more

I recently commissioned, George, The Friendly Tech Guy to build a monster high-powered video editing PC. He was very communicative throughout the project. He offered very sound technical recommendations by reviewing my parts list of materials. The turnaround time to complete the job was above and beyond my expectations. Post build he provided additional tech support to help optimize the PC's performance. It's been a few weeks of working with the new PC and I'm delightfully satisfied with his work. The level of service was absolute top notch A-1!!! George is a great guy to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a tech expert. read more

I was having issues with my home Wifi and network set up...I "upgraded" with Xfinity and my performance plummeted. So I turned to Yelp, called 8 numbers in a row, George called me right back, came out to my home that day, took a look around, quoted a fair price, and returned the following Monday on time and problem solved. Knowledgeable and friendly - and most importantly got the job done. Chris read more

I will definitely be calling George for any future tech issues. With my kids home 24/7 the Comcast wi-fi coverage just wasn't cutting it. George responded quickly, came out within days and the entire thing took less than a week. He had a better solution than the one I had thought of, and just generally seemed much more knowledgeable and interested in doing a good job than some other companies I had investigated. Add to that the fact that he is, as advertised, a friendly guy and his quote was lower than another company, it was a no brainer! read more

Oh my gosh I love George, very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. He set up my entire EERO system throughout our house. Additionally, he was able to change my windows 7 to windows 10 without a glitch and the price was right. A very honest, ethical individual. He's definitely our go to guy moving forward. read more

George is a wonderful guy. He came the same day and helped diagnose my internet problem.

George is extremely knowledgeable, gave precise estimate, was punctual and got my network and Wi-Fi upgraded for home wide stable usage. With a family that has 4 to 5 zoom/teams sessions all the time this has been a game changer. Thank you George. read more

George is excellent. Diligent, ethical, and highly capable. We had a few challenges adding components to a gaming PC with very little space and difficult wiring to work with. He got it done quickly, came back when there was an unexpected software issue within a few minutes of getting back to his place. No complaints, worked quickly and was very professional. I will use him any time I have a need! Mike L. read more

I had George come out to figure out my complicated speaker setup. I have 34 speakers throughout the house and none of the wires were labeled and I wasn't able to find anyone on yelp that was willing to help me figure it out. He was able to identify and label all of my speakers, recommend a switch that would work for my setup and install Sonos amps so I could control all of the music from my phone. George lives up to his company name in being one of the friendliest people I have ever met and knowledge of tech is second to none. I would recommend him to anyone looking to fix their tech troubles at an affordable price. read more

I have a set of entertainment equipment that ranges from 5-9 yrs old and I could not troubleshoot why the tv screen wasn't communicating with the receiver, cable box and DVD player. It wouldn't have been too complicated had there only been the necessary cables, but my cupboard has a mess of wires, some with no apparent use. George came out and reconnected my system, identified what was relevant, and identified HDMI cables that were faulty. He was very helpful. read more

George was so helpful and friendly! He offered to help via phone for no charge since he wasn't able to come out the day I needed assistance. He offered me tips on what he thought the issue was. If ever I have computer issues in the future George is my guy! Thanks George! read more

George comes exactly as advertised; very friendly and also very capable. He helped resolve problems with our desktop PC, our MacBook and even our ancient home theater sound system, all at a very fair price. read more

George Thorn did an extraordinary job setting up a network for my husband and I, as well as a network attached storage system (NAS). My husband and I have two very different businesses in home offices. I am a physician and have to be extremely careful about network security. I do not feel safe storing sensitive patient data in the cloud. George was, first of all, able to set up a robust network for us that works far better than ones set up by our previous computer technicians/consultants. He also was able to suggest and configure a sophisticated NAS to meet our demanding needs. Mr. Thorne is very knowledgeable, professional and hard working. Though your needs may differ from ours, with Mr. Thorn you will be in the hands of a true professional. We highly recommend him. read more

I highly recommend, George, The Friendly Tech Guy, for all services repairing and installing tech devices. He help us from simple tasks to complicated ones that others had not been able to repair. George helped my husband set up his whole office with computers, printers, wifi updates and hand held devices. Not only did he get everything working and updated, but he patiently spent time with my husband teaching him how to maintain and use all the tools available to him. We also had an old and complicated tv/speaker system that no one else could fix and coordinate and George took on the challenge and solved the problem. I would trust him with any task , not just for his knowledge and expertise, but also for his integrity, pricing and genuine cheerfulness. read more

We needed tech support to extend Wi-Fi to all rooms of our house. George, The Friendly Tech Guy, responded quickly to my request and came out to look at our equipment and which areas of our house needed more Wi-Fi. He suggested a solution with eero equipment and was able to come back to install them in two days. He solved our problem! George is very knowledgeable and efficient. If any other tech needs arise I'll call The Friendly Tech guy for assistance again. read more

I hired George to come to my home to help address a spotty wifi problem with an upstairs bedroom and a terrible lagging issue with streaming AmazonPrime on my TV. George responded promptly, showed up on time and was courteous, professional, and nice to my pets. I felt very comfortable having him in my home. He did his diagnosis and suggested a couple of fixes for my wifi and streaming problems, even looking up the parts on Amazon with me. He's not selling anything but his expertise, so his solutions were practical and mindful of my budget. I also had him check my old laptop to determine if I needed a new one and the consensus was no. His hourly fee is very good compared to other technicians who will come to your house. End result- I purchased the powerline adapters and fire TV stick that George suggested and they both worked to solve my problems. I will definitely hire him again when I have another technological calamity! read more

I wholeheartedly recommend George Thorn, The Friendly Tech Guy. Our family has worked with several companies and people offering consulting and set-up of household technology including internet, tv, music, computer and how it all works together. George is far and away the best. He gets everything working in a way you will understand and be able to operate after he leaves. His pricing is reasonable and he is a delight to work with. read more
