Windows laptop and desktop repair across Lake County
We collect your computer from your home or office, diagnose the problem and give you a written price before starting a repair, and bring it back working. No storefront to drive to, no ticket number, and no waiting in a repair-shop line.
One person, start to finish
You deal directly with Travis
The person who answers your call is the person who collects, diagnoses, repairs, and returns your computer.
Refit Computing is a new, deliberately small operation. That means no ticket queue and no guessing which technician has your machine — just a direct answer about what is wrong, what it will cost, and whether it is worth fixing.
Straightforward pricing
Know the likely cost before we collect it
Free
Diagnosis
We find the fault and give you a written, fixed quote. If the repair does not make financial sense, you owe nothing.
$89–$129
Most tune-ups and Windows reinstalls
A useful range for common software work. Parts, data recovery, and unusual faults are quoted separately before work starts.
$99
On-site first hour
For problems best handled at your home or office in Lake County. Additional time is agreed before we continue.
Your written quote is the price unless you approve a change.
What we fix
- Windows laptops and desktops
- Won't power on, won't boot, blue screens
- Cracked or dead screens, hinges, bezels

- Docking stations and peripherals that stopped cooperating
What we don't
- Phones, tablets and Mac computers
- Printers and copiers
- Gaming consoles
- Board-level soldering and chip work
- Anything with liquid damage that has already corroded
We would rather tell you plainly that something isn't our work than take it, keep it for a week, and hand it back the same as it arrived.
Before you call
Windows PCs are our everyday work.
Hours: Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. Pickup and on-site visits are scheduled; there is no walk-in storefront. We focus on Windows laptops and desktops so we can give you a clear answer instead of learning on your machine.
How it works
-
Tell us what it's doing
Call or email a short description — "won't turn on", "screen cracked", "takes ten minutes to open Outlook". Device, model, and rough age help but aren't essential.
-
We collect it
We arrange free collection and return from homes and offices anywhere in Lake County. Every computer is recorded by serial number.
-
Diagnosis, then a written quote
Diagnosis is free. You get a fixed price for the repair before any work starts, and if the machine isn't worth repairing we tell you that instead — along with what it's worth to you as a trade-in or a recycling job.
-
Approve, and we fix it
No surprises on the invoice. If we find something else once it's open, work stops and you get a revised quote. Typical turnaround is two to three business days once parts are in hand.
-
We bring it back
Delivered and, if you want, set back up at the desk it came from.
If it isn't worth fixing, we'll say so
A $260 repair on a machine worth $180 is a bad trade, and you should hear that from the person doing the work rather than find out later. When the numbers don't justify the repair we say so, and you have three options that don't involve paying us for it.
You can sell it to us for parts value, put the money toward a refurbished replacement, or have us recycle it with a data destruction certificate. Free diagnosis means finding that out costs you nothing.
Your data doesn't go anywhere
A repair means your files pass through our hands, and we treat that the same way we treat a drive bound for destruction. Machines are worked on individually, kept secured, and never handed to a third party.
If a repair requires replacing a drive, the old one is sanitized to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 standards or physically destroyed — your choice — and you get the certificate for it. It doesn't quietly end up in a parts bin with your files still on it.
A note on old machines and Windows 10: support ended in October 2025, which means no more security updates. If you're running an office full of machines that can't take Windows 11, that's a security problem rather than a performance one, and repairing them individually may be throwing good money after bad. Ask us to look at the fleet rather than the one machine — sometimes the right answer is refurbished replacements and a recycling pickup for the rest.
Tell us what needs repairing
Describe the device and what it is doing. We will reply within one business day and arrange collection if it sounds like work we can help with.
