Q: Is it better to repair or replace a smartphone?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually more affordable to repair your smartphone than replace it, with repairs averaging around <b>$150</b> and a full replacement averaging over <b>$800</b>. There are exceptions to this, as severe water damage might be prohibitively expensive, depending on the replacement cost of your phone. For less severe damage, like a broken charging or headphone port, buttons or rockers that don&rsquo;t work, or a broken screen, you&rsquo;ll likely pay far less for a smartphone repair, making it the better option.</p></div>

Q: Can I fix a broken phone screen myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to fix a broken phone screen yourself using a phone repair kit, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Replacing your screen isn&rsquo;t as simple as taking the old one off and putting the new one on, and DIYers can mess up many steps. Those include opening the phone without damaging internal components, removing internal pieces without breaking them, and calibrating the screen after replacement. Any mistakes could lead to problems with functionality and might lead to your phone failing to work. It&rsquo;s best to hire a phone repair technician who can fix your phone screen efficiently.</p></div>

Q: How long do repairs take?

• <div><p>Most repairs take 1-5 days, depending on the type of repair and material sourcing.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to repair a cellphone?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s usually more cost-effective to repair a cellphone than replace it entirely. Phone repair services can be costly, depending on the extent and type of damage, but you&rsquo;ll almost always spend less on repair than on replacement. Plus, replacing the phone might not help if the problem lies with your service provider, such as issues like dropped calls or poor network connection. However, it&rsquo;s worth repairing your phone for mid-level issues like a cracked screen, damaged headphone jack, or smashed charger port.</p></div>

Q: How much does smartphone repair cost?

• <div><p>Smartphone repairs average around <b>$150</b> but can range from <b>$50 up to $500 </b>or more, depending on the extent of the damage and what&rsquo;s wrong with your phone. To repair a cracked screen, you can expect to pay between <b>$100 and $350</b>, while a charging port replacement can cost between <b>$20 and $100</b> for materials and labor. Repairing water damage can reach up to <b>$500 or higher</b> for a significant problem, and in some cases, heavy water damage isn&rsquo;t repairable. A phone repair tech should be able to inspect your device and give you a quote for the work.</p></div>

Blue Crab repaired and stained my deck recently. They were very nice and professional. The owners were always reachable on their cell phones. They did everything I asked for and kept in touch the whole time.

Gilbert spent plenty of time on the phone with me giving me suggestions on how to temporarily repair my 20 year old refrigerator. He didn't think it would be worth it to come out and charge me a fee and not do anything. I respect him for that. I thank him for that. And in the future when I need...

The man who answered the phone was very rude and stated they no longer provide the service for luggage repair. I asked if he might be able to recommend anyone for the service and again he was very rude and stated no one wants to provide service for luggage repair. DO NOT CALL THEM!

"I had a problem with my old landline phone system. First I called Verizon, but their technician could not solve the problem. Then I contacted CH Tel. Charlie called back promptly and sent a technician, Rick, the same day. Rick was very knowledgeable and thorough. He was able to find the problem and install a new line. While he was here he also solved some long-standing problems I had with loose wires and an open phone box. He was also very respectful of my property and did a good job cleaning up after the work. I would highly recommend this company for low-voltage wiring projects."
