"9/29/24 Harry Stein (Stein Solutions) I hope this isnâ t too lengthy, but Harry Stein is so good, he deserves a comprehensive review. Iâ ve been working with Mr. Stein over the phone and on my PC for about 16 years, and he has many times â worked miraclesâ for me. When friends or relatives complain about their PC problems, I tell them about my â computer guruâ who lives in Texas, who I have never met personally, but with whom Iâ ve talked many many times. The following are ways he has helped me, at a very reasonable cost, for which I am very grateful. 1. Mr. Steinâ s training and experience as a forensics sleuth literally combating criminals have made him knowledgeable about all things PC. For example: a. He shares the history of this or that company. (Heâ s been around a while!) b. He clearly names the company that is best at this or that, as well as the â bad guysâ out there who are not really operating with the customer as priority #1 (over $ and the bottom line). As he says, â The bad guys are always ahead of the good guys.â c. He is able and willing to investigate specific companies and vet them for me as to reliability as â trusted publishersâ of software and other business practices. 2. He has helped me with numerous problems Iâ ve had (and still do have) with my primary email provider, sbcglobal.net. For example: a. He t aught me a workaround to start it up when it would fail to boot. b. He can look at highly detailed documentation in different programs to see exactly when specific problems occurred (like crashes), and he figures out why they happened. And then he fixes the problem. c. He keeps a detailed record of the work he has done on my computer and often goes back in his record (which he simultaneously shows me on computer) to see exactly what the previous problem was and what he did to fix it. d. He knows the history of this and many other companies, and knows where the â good guysâ work and where the â bad guysâ work. 3. He has taught me the basics of Gmail, which I started using with my clients because itâ s so much more reliable than my outdated and inept sbcglobal.net program. a. I have a sheet with 20 suggestions he gave me in one session about Gmail (and more sheets with additional suggestions). b. He sends me emails with step-by-step advice on specific problems, complete with screen shots of computer screens with individual items circled and arrows drawn to show where things are or where they should go. 4. He gets on my computer only with my permission to work his magic (which I can watch while he does it if I want to). a. So, if I have time, itâ s fun to watch him do stuff I couldnâ t possibly understand, much less do, myself b. He doesnâ t get distracted by other stuff on my computer or â nose aroundâ in stuff that is really my private business. c. He is very principled, trustworthy, honest, and open. d. He keeps meticulous notes about everything he does in a session on any given date. e. He remembers a ton of details about what he did the last time (weeks or months ago) that he was on my computer. f. He checks his notes to refresh his memory about what he did a year or two or three ago. 5. He vetted and then helped me buy a tower computer for my desk top at a bargain price on Ebay of all places! 6. When billing he gives me a detailed breakdown of everything he did. 7. One time, when I made a mistake and got snookered into a payment of several hundred dollars, he investigated the (fraudulent) company and helped me work my way out of a jam. 8. Did I mention my cell phone problems? I am no techie, and I have an Android phone. Heâ s helped me with a number of issues that have come up there, too. 9. His fee is very fair. Take it from an experienced customer of his, you wonâ t go wrong with Harry Stein and Stein Solutions!"

"He is very knowledgeable for a/v on both a home level and a professional broadcast level. -David"

"This husband and wife team were both thorough and competent."

"I needed help right away, this guy dropped everything and drove an hour (each way) to rescue me!"

"Very informative, professional, and qualified. The installation was quick."

"WONDERFUL. THEY COMMUNICATED INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR COMPANY AND WEBSITE. ARRIVED WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD. WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND GOT THE JOB DONE. DEFINITELY WOULD USE THEM AGAIN."

"Steve helped me to mount 3 TVs in our office. He cames punctual and was really professional. Just took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get the project done. He alal did me a favor to take all boxes away. His price is great and competitive. I already talked to him that I may have more projects to work together."

"Joe provided excellent prompt service"

"Based on the work that was done at my home between April 17, 2025 and April 21, 2025, I strongly recommend Jopat General Contracting (JPC) and in particular John Oke . JPC is based in Aubrey Texas (940–202–0103) and John is one of the three co-owners. I discovered JPC through a search on Angi. I wanted a recommendation for help in the next two days. John replaced three burned out LED light fixtures in our kitchen ceiling. Intricate wiring had to be sorted out and prepped before new LED light fixtures could be wired in. We also had multiple problems in our master bathroom requiring a diagnosis and replacement of a malfunctioning shower head and tub faucet. We also needed shelves for a corner of that bathroom. John showed up on time on three occasions and kept us informed with texts and verbal explanations. He had to make multiple trips to a Home Depot in Roanoke for needed supplies because of problems he discovered. There was no additional charge for those trips beyond the original estimate. I doubt he anticipated that multiple trips for supplies would be needed but he never tried to assess an additional charge. I've gone into this detail to explain why I feel like strongly recommending John and JPC. In short, I feel like the work was well done and reasonably priced and done efficiently with multiple problems diagnosed and fixed. Alan Laufman"
