Q: Can I put a screen protector on a cracked screen?

• <div><p>Yes, you can usually put a screen protector over a cracked screen, especially if there aren&rsquo;t pieces of glass missing. This method is a useful temporary solution to avoid cutting your fingers on your broken screen and to avoid further cracking or losing glass and exposing the inner components of your phone. However, a screen protector isn&rsquo;t a permanent solution to a cracked screen. You should still take your phone to a professional phone repair technician to get the screen replaced for proper and safe functionality. This service should only cost you about <b>$150</b>, in most cases.</p></div>

Q: What are common issues requiring repair?

• <div><p>Fabric tears, faded material, broken frames, and malfunctioning retractable mechanisms often need professional attention.</p></div>

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: How can pros ensure data safety during repairs?

• <div><p>By using secure backup and encryption procedures during service.</p></div>

Q: Can I replace my own phone screen?

• <div><p>You can purchase a DIY phone screen replacement kit, but it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to have a professional technician address the problem. Many DIYers who attempt a screen replacement end up with poor screen functionality afterward, including ghost touches and partial screen functionality. Replacing a phone screen is a complicated process that demands experience, so it&rsquo;s a good idea to defer to a professional from the start. Any mistakes you make while replacing your screen could lead to you having to pay a professional to step in anyway, increasing your total repair costs.</p></div>

I usually don't write reviews but The Patch Boys of South Pittsburgh deserve a 5 plus star review for the plaster repair work they did on my sister's home in Washington County PA. True plaster work is something that can not be done by a handyman. It is becoming a lost art form. Joyce was a...

Did an excellent job. They found a leak behind the old bathtub that they repaired. That leak would have cost a lot more if I had to bring another plumber in to repair as it was behind the walls.

They completed the job in a timely manner, they returned when they said they would return. Within a month there was a problem with the door because it gets constant use. I phoned them and they came out right away. They have returned twice WITHOUT BEING CALLED to complete repair on the door.
