What I do

Anything from "it won't turn on" to a full office network.

If it has a processor in it, there's a good chance I can fix it, speed it up, or build you a better one.

PC & Laptop Repair

Slow machines, virus cleanup, mystery crashes, and computers that just won't start. Diagnosis first, honest verdict always.

Tune-Ups & Upgrades

Most "old" computers just need an SSD and a good cleaning. Usually a fraction of the cost of replacing it, and it'll feel brand new.

Custom Builds

Gaming rigs, office machines, workstations. You set the budget and I make every dollar count, with parts I'd put in my own machine.

Home Networking

Mesh Wi-Fi that reaches the whole house, wired runs, cameras, and smart home setup that actually works when you get home.

Small Business IT

Networks, servers, backups, and monthly support plans. When something breaks, you call me, not a 1-800 number.

Private AI Systems

Local, in-house AI for offices that handle sensitive files. Your documents never leave your building. Everything runs on your own hardware.

Pricing

Prices posted right here, like they should be.

Small Business & Private AI

Networks, servers, backups, AI systemsQuoted per project ↓
How it works: ranges depend on your machine and parts needed. You get an exact number after the diagnostic, before any work starts. House calls add a small trip fee, waived on larger jobs. Parts always billed at cost, receipts included.
For small business

Your own IT guy, without hiring one.

If your current backup plan is hoping nothing breaks, let's fix that. I set up and support the tech side of small offices around East County:

  • Network & server setup. Everything to get an office online, sharing files, and printing without drama.
  • Automatic backups, so one dead drive can't take your business records with it.
  • Monthly support plans. Updates, monitoring, and a real person to call when something breaks.
  • New office buildouts. Moving or opening? I'll handle wiring, hardware, and setup from bare walls to working desks.

Cutting edge, kept private

Private, in-house AI for your office

Want to use AI for document-heavy work like drafting, summarizing, and digging through files, but can't send client data to the cloud? I build private AI systems that run entirely on hardware in your office. Nothing leaves your building. No subscriptions to an AI company, no data sharing, no fine print.

Ideal for law offices, accounting firms, medical and insurance practices, and anyone else whose files are nobody else's business.

Business work is scoped per project. Every office is different, so I'll take a free look at your setup and give you a written quote. No obligation, no pressure.

About

Hi, I'm Bear.

I've been building and fixing computers most of my life: my employer's, my own, my family's, my friends', and now yours. I run my own home servers, network gear, and local AI systems, so when I recommend something, it's because I'd run it myself, not because it earns a commission.

Sandy River IT is a one-person shop, and that's the point. You get the same person on the phone, at the diagnosis, and doing the repair. If something isn't worth fixing, I'll tell you straight and help you figure out what's next, even if that means I don't get the job.
