Meet the Guy Who Answers When You Call

Joe Engelking has run every client relationship personally since 2010, no call center, no account handoffs. He started The Computer Guyz around a simple idea: you should be able to call one person and get a real answer, not sit in a ticket queue.

Today Joe still reviews every client’s setup himself, explains what’s going on in plain English, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks between vendors, software, and hardware. If something breaks, you’re not chasing three different companies to get it fixed — you’re calling Joe.

Get IT Support That Covers Your Entire Business

Most business owners don’t actually know what’s happening inside their own IT, they just know when something breaks. We fix that by giving you one team that owns the whole picture, monitors it proactively, and can explain what’s going on without the jargon.

24/7 monitoring — problems caught before they cause downtime
Cybersecurity built in — not sold as an add-on later
Backup & recovery — tested, not just scheduled
Helpdesk & on-site visits — when remote isn’t enough

I used Joe and his team for a transition from an old laptop to a new one, from Windows 10 to 11, and the new Outlook. As you might expect, there were some glitches, but the Computer Guyz team stayed on it until the new laptop and programs were up and running. Very knowledgeable and professional team! Highly recommended.

Jason Bergen

We’ve been working with Computer Guyz IT Services for several months now, and they’ve been a solid partner in managing our IT needs. From network setup and computer repair to remote tech support, their team has been knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient. One of the standout qualities is their quick response time—we’ve had a few urgent issues, and they were always just a call away. Their technicians explain solutions clearly and don’t push unnecessary services, which we really appreciate. If I had one small critique, it’s that their ticketing system could use a little streamlining for better tracking—but overall, the service is reliable and cost-effective. Highly recommend Computer Guyz for small businesses needing trustworthy, affordable IT support, cybersecurity solutions, and ongoing technical maintenance
