I had spent the last 4-5 weeks having to shut down and restart my computer up to 5 times a day. Constantly freezing. Called Nick on Thursday afternoon - he offered to come on Friday but I wasn't available so we scheduled Monday. Showed up exactly on time - I've used Nick before so wasn't at all surprised that he determined some of the issues that could be causing the freezing and resolved them. Did some double and triple checking before leaving. Had me try some of the same things that caused problems before and no problems remained. Two days later and I still haven't had a freeze-up.
Description of Work: Went over my computer - removing items that may have been causing my problems and making changes.

Nick was excellent, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!! First let my say that I have a custom built computer, not an "off the shelf" desktop. It was not a problem for Nick. I have a computer background myself and could not figure out the problem as to why I could not connect to the Internet. I had two other knowledgeable computer professionals look at my system and could not find the problem either. I was concerned that I would have to reformat my machine and reload the software and I have a lot of software. Nick was extremely confident that he could fix the problem without having to reformat my hard drive. He said, " I only reformat if you have a hardware problem which he could quickly see that I did not. Nick had my system connected to the Internet within 20 minutes after his arrival. He did admit this was an unusual problem and that took him a little longer to figure it out !!! Nick then proceeded to clean out many unnecessary files and programs and got my system running faster as well. A very professional young man who you could tell right away is honest and sincere. You will not be disappointed..........GUARANTEED !!
Description of Work: got my desktop connected to the Internet, cleaned up unneeded software, sped up my machine, gave advice on additional enhancements.

Nick arrived a little before the appointment and got right to work. Fortunately for me, he liked cats because three of my seven were very interested in him as he worked. He immediately noted the excess noise coming from my hard drive and checked it out, but thankfully found no error codes or warnings. Excess and/or conflicting programs were removed. A nonfunctioning all-in-one scanner-printer-fax was finally made operational. By the time Nick finished, the hard drive was much quieter and -- one day later -- the whole system is virtually running like new. The personalized service Nick provided was worth every cent.
Description of Work: Owner Nick Zeppetello performed the following onsite services on my custom-built PC in a single 3-hour appointment: PC cleanup PC optimization Startup optimization Registry cleanup Activated Malwarebytes protection Imported AOL Favorites to Google Chrome Corrected small print issue Re-Installed and networked inkjet printer My computer had been running slower than slow, even after I had used the remote computer cleaning services of Atlanta Technical Resources (ATR). I just felt that there was something wrong that couldn't be fixed remotely and I'm very pleased to have found Zepp's Home Computer Repair through Angie's List.

I now have a brand new computer that works perfectly. Rick is a pleasure to work with, and I had everything back in 3 days. I've had many computer techs over the years, and he clearly is the best I've ever worked with. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Description of Work: My 6 year old MAC was freezing, giving error messages, and failing. Rick came over, diagnosed the problem, and took the computer replaced the hard drive, RAM, downloaded a new operating system, and it was a more difficult job than he had anticipated. Even with the extra time involved (hours) he didn't increase the price he charged.

Nick did a fantastic job. He was able to change some things around and get to me the same day I called as I was in a jam. He is fast, doesn't waste time and very efficient. A very pleasant guy and I would refer him to anyone in heartbeat. He is actually coming back in a couple of days to do some more work on a different computer.

Working with Nick was great ? he responded quickly, arranged for both pick-up and drop-off times that were convenient for me. He told us the issues (mostly the need to increase RAM from 1 to 4GB), and did what he said he would do. Great communication. I would recommend Nick to all and would be happy to use him again !
Description of Work: After seeing a write-up about Zepps in the monthly Angie’s List booklet, I reached out to Nick to help with our 2006 iMac that had slowed to crawl – esp. when multi-tasking.

Thanks for the nice review! It is always a pleasure helping you out. There is always a music lesson involved and you get to show me the cool music your making in your studio. It helps that I have setup studios for other producers, but none of them are making original classical music! Also I think my mouth has finally cooled down from that super hot Italian sausage you had me try. haha

Nick was punctual and did his best to resolve the issues we were having. Although he was unable to resolve the problem he was able to point out where we could possibly find a solution and guided us to the correct department within our new service provider. Nick checked back later to see if the issue had been resolved and to give us more ideas on resolving the problem -- which turned out to be with the service provider.
Description of Work: Nick came out to see if he could fix a networking problem that did not allow us to see our website or our FTP site after we switched providers.

Thanks for the great review! Your are definitely not the first person who had a custom computer built incorrectly by another local company. Sometimes I can't believe the crap they build and sell you for 2k and up and then try to charge you again after it doesn't work out of the box. Its a crime. Luckily I'm around to "improve" their work. Glad everything has been working so well for you since!

All three were returned and working properly within a week. I've had Nick work on my computers multiple times and I feel he is very competent in his knowledge of different hardware platforms. He shows enormous patience and perseverance in solving hardware and software issues. I appreciate his letting me know how things are going throughout the whole process.
Description of Work: I had 2 laptops and 1 desktop needing to be upgraded to Window 7. He determined what was needed for each computer in order for each to migrate from Windows XP to 7 i.e. more memory, etc. In addition, 2 laptops were installed with MS Office 2013.

Nick was very courteous and knowledgeable about what was wrong with my computer, he made me feel confident the repair would be straightforward and my best alternative. Unfortunately, I did not use his service because I was out of his pick up/in-home repair vicinity and I found a local place that could do the work. He did assure me, if I did not find help elsewhere, he could setup repair at husband's office of which was in his repair vicinity and he had provided service to many times in the past. I appreciate his willingness to to help and recommend his repair services.
