How much does a repair or service cost?
Every job starts with a free diagnostic and a written estimate, so you know exactly what is wrong and what it will cost before any work begins. No surprises, and no charge just for looking.
Do you help individuals as well as businesses?
Both. We fix personal laptops and home networks, and we support small and mid-sized businesses with everything from one-off projects to fully managed IT.
Do you support both PC and Mac?
Yes — our technicians are experienced with Windows PCs and Apple Macs, along with printers, networks and the other devices that connect to them.
What areas do you serve?
We provide on-site service locally and support clients across Canada remotely. Many issues can be resolved the same way we would on-site, over a secure remote session.
Computer Repair Questions
What to expect when something breaks.
How long does a typical repair take?
It depends on the issue and parts needed — most common repairs are completed within a few business days. You get a clear timeline with your free estimate, and we keep you updated along the way.
Can you fix my computer remotely?
Often, yes. Software issues, cleanup, configuration and many performance problems can be fixed over a secure remote session. If hardware is involved, we arrange a drop-off or on-site visit.
My computer has a virus — what should I do?
Disconnect it from the internet and stop using it for banking or email, then contact us. We remove the infection, check what was affected and set up protection to prevent it happening again.
Can you recover data from a dead computer or drive?
In many cases, yes. Whether a machine will not boot or a drive has failed, we assess it for free and tell you the odds and options honestly before you commit to anything.
Should I repair or replace my computer?
We will tell you straight. If a repair is not worth the money, we say so — and can help you choose a replacement, then move all your files, email and apps over to the new machine.
Business, Cloud & Security Questions
For offices, teams and growing companies.
What are managed IT services, and do I need them?
A managed IT plan gives you proactive monitoring, updates, security and priority helpdesk support for a flat monthly fee — like having an IT department without hiring one. If your business depends on its computers, it usually pays for itself in prevented downtime.
How can 7It support my cloud service needs?
We provide expert guidance and management for Microsoft Azure and AWS — migrations, day-to-day administration, security and cost optimization — so you get the benefits of the cloud without the complexity.
Can 7It help with IT security for my company?
Absolutely. We implement layered security: endpoint protection, email filtering, backups, secure remote access and staff awareness training, tailored to your size and industry.
Can you set up Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
Yes — setup, licensing, email migration and ongoing administration. We make sure email, files and calendars work smoothly across all your devices.
Can you help my business use AI?
Yes. We identify practical, safe ways to use AI and automation in your workflows — from document handling to customer communication — and set them up so they actually save you time.
Do you build and maintain websites?
We do. We design fast, professional websites that match your brand, and offer maintenance plans that keep them secure, backed up and up to date.
