Computer Repair & IT Support in Chelsea, NY

Chelsea’s mix of art galleries, converted warehouses near the High Line, and both prewar walk-ups and newer luxury high-rises means Larry sees everything from small studio setups for working artists to full smart-home installs in newer buildings.

Computer Too Slow? in Chelsea, NY
“Why is my computer so slow” is one of the most common things Chelsea residents type before calling Larry. Startup clutter, malware, or a nearly-full hard drive are usually the real cause — a full diagnostic finds it instead of guessing, and most computers speed back up without buying a new one.

Computer Not Working? in Chelsea, NY
A frozen screen, a computer that won’t turn on, or a sudden black screen doesn’t always mean it’s dead. Larry checks cables, power, and hardware first, so Chelsea residents aren’t paying for a repair — or a new computer — they didn’t need.

Keep It Tuned Up in Chelsea, NY
Computers are a lot like cars — regular maintenance catches the small stuff before it becomes a breakdown. A tune-up visit covers updates, security software, backup status, and storage space in one pass, before “computer running slow after update” turns into a real problem.

Setup & Instruction in Chelsea, NY
New computer, new printer, WiFi that doesn’t reach the back of a railroad-style apartment — setup is one of the most requested visits in Chelsea. Larry installs it correctly, moves your files over, and stays until it actually makes sense to use.

Old Computers Safely Disposed Of in Chelsea, NY
An old computer heading out with the recycling still has your personal information on the drive. Before it leaves the apartment, Larry wipes the storage clean and points you toward responsible recycling or donation instead.

Safe Internet for Kids in Chelsea, NY
Parents searching for a way to block inappropriate content without a constant fight over settings usually end up calling Larry. He sets up filtering at the router level so it covers every device in the home automatically.

Electronic Backups in Chelsea, NY
Losing years of creative work — photos, design files, portfolios — to a dropped laptop is exactly what a real backup prevents. Larry sets one up and actually tests that a file can be restored, not just scheduled and forgotten about.

Virus Prevention in Chelsea, NY
A computer that’s suddenly slow, full of pop-ups, or sending strange emails to contacts is showing classic signs of malware. Larry cleans it up, sets up real-time protection, and shows you what a phishing email actually looks like.

Computers in Chelsea, NY
Trying to decide between a Mac and a PC before spending real money on either? Larry gives independent buying advice with no sales commission attached, then handles setup once it arrives.

iPads, Tablets & Phones in Chelsea, NY
A new phone or tablet is easy to buy and surprisingly tedious to actually set up. Larry moves your contacts and photos over and fixes any syncing issues, all in one visit.

Sonos in Chelsea, NY
Speakers that keep dropping out room to room are almost always a WiFi problem, not a Sonos problem. Larry sets up new systems and troubleshoots existing ones, whether it’s a small studio or a full loft.

Streaming TV Boxes in Chelsea, NY
Cutting the cord sounds simple until the new box, three remotes, and five apps don’t cooperate. Larry sets up Apple TV or Roku, signs in what you actually watch, and gets it down to one remote.

Smart Lighting in Chelsea, NY
Smart bulbs are easy to buy and harder to make actually useful, especially in an older walk-up with limited wiring options. Larry sets up Hue, Lutron, or smart switches with real schedules built around how the household lives.

Security Cameras in Chelsea, NY
A video doorbell that notifies you about every person in a shared vestibule isn’t protecting anything — it’s just noise. Larry plans placement around actual entry points and tunes alerts so they mean something.
