MacBook Repair in Columbia, MD — In-Home Service for Mac Users

Macs are wonderful until they aren't. When yours is suddenly slow, refusing to charge, stuck on the Apple logo, or showing a folder with a question mark, the standard advice is "make a Genius Bar appointment three weeks out and drive to Towson." There's a better option. I come to your house in Columbia, look at your MacBook or iMac in front of you, and tell you what's actually happening. For most software issues, it's fixed the same visit. For hardware that needs Apple parts, I'll be honest if Apple is your only sensible option — and I won't charge for that conversation.

Common problems
MacBook won't turn on, won't charge, or shuts down randomly
Spinning beach ball, very slow startup, or apps that crash
Stuck on Apple logo, progress bar, or recovery screen
macOS update failed or left the system unstable
Migration from old Mac, Windows PC, or iPhone to new Mac
iCloud, Mail, Photos, or Apple ID sync problems

FAQ

Common questions

Yes — software work on Apple Silicon Macs is mostly the same as Intel Macs (boot into Recovery, reinstall macOS, manage user data, etc.), and I have current tools for it. Hardware repair on Apple Silicon is much harder because the chips, RAM, and SSD are soldered together; for most physical-component failures Apple is the right call, and I'll say so.
