Ralph Doore Consulting

Ralph is a true professional, and gives good service. In my case he arrived Sunday Morning, as agreed, and stayed the full nine hours it to transfer the files from my old computer to my new computer. During that lengthy process (it would probably gone much quicker if I had USB 3.0 connections) Ralph filled me in on various aspects of the computer and programs I was using and demonstrated a knowledge of the complexities of computer hardware beyond my imagination. He also recommended other programs for me and followed up by email with some specifics and connections to download them
One valuable service: He remains available by phone to answer any further questions (at no cost within a time limit for each call).

Thank you, Ralph! My four-​year old PC was. running. so. slow! Based on Unilocal reviews I called Ralph and had him come in for a computer tune-​up. All I can say is I wish I’d done it years ago! My computer feels like new again. In fact I was thinking I’d need a new one, now … no need, my old one works great. A tip of the cap to you, Ralph!

Ralph’s honest, knowledgeable, reliable and cost effective. He’s has shown me many things of saving time and money. I consider him to be a trusted advisor.

I was absolutely desparate to get an email campaign out and was being driven crazy by my computer, Adobe Photoshop, the email campaign site, error messages everywhere!!! Ralph was able to sit with me for ½ hr. and help with everything. AND AND AND I am MAC based, not PC based and he could still walk me through it. My business owes more than 5 stars to his help!!! This is the Guy!!! wow wow THANK YOU RALPH

I cannot say enough about Ralph’s great job. First I had investigated a couple of walk in services in the SF area — Geek Squad had a line a mile long and I walked out of there after waiting 20 minutes. I had a laptop machine that I was using for consulting work with all my business software as well as important data files. A virus put the hard drive into limbo. I was in a panick and called Ralph after seeing his rating on Unilocal.He was getting ready for a vacation trip and still made the time to meet with me and get my computer diagnosed and working again. He explained every step of his process with clarity and got my permission prior to doing anything. He was able to determine the issue — my hard drive was unusable after the infection due to some over the top security software my previous company had installed. He was able to get me back in working order with a new hard drive — reload my programs and show me how to back up my programs and image my hard drive going forward to prevent this from happening again. All of this was done spur of the moment with great attention to detail. I was able to get back up and running within a few business days, something that would have taken me weeks or a month on my own. Many thanks Ralph!

If you need an excellent, reliable IT person, look no further than this man. I own a small business and am, regrettably, a technical idiot. When my system is down, I need help on every level. We’ve been through many IT consultants before… needless to say, they would often «fix the problem», only to have it return within a few days or weeks. Ralph has responded to our calls very quickly, came on the same day, and got right to the problem. The best part is that he explains things clearly, without a lot of technical jargon. He is now our official IT guy. I wish we’d found him sooner!

Ralph is GREAT! I found him on Unilocal.I called him and he was with another client. He called me back and walked me through my problem while we were on the phone together. It doesn’t get any easier then that!
He is my new main computer squeeze! Definitely will be using him and referring him to others!

I’ll make this short and to the point. My Outlook crashed on Friday night so I went to Unilocal found Ralph called him at 9:00am Sat. he called me back within fifteen minutes gave me the option of him coming out or me going to him, I went to him. Within one hour, while I waited, he not only got Outlook up and running but got my email coming into my Iphone and other things. I would say that Ralph is first a really nice helpful person who definitely cares about getting your computer up and running fast and second very professional computer tech. Can’t thank you enough Ralph I’m a very happy customer.

I would give more stars if I could because Ralph is simply as good as it gets. Not only did he fix the viral problems on my PC in one day, He explained to me exactly what happened, how it happened, and how he was going to fix it in trems that even a computer dummy like me can understand! His rates are more than reasonable (I paid what some other people were charging just to look at my computer!) and he went above and beyond to make sure I was satified. I will be going to Ralph anytime I have a tech-​related issue of any kind.

Ralph has been incredibly helpful with handling my IT system at home and at office. He knows his stuff and can get the problem solved quickly.
He’s been a great resource for products too. I always call Ralph before making any sort of technology purchase, whether it be phone, printer, camera, etc.
If you’re looking for an IT person for your business or someone that you know you can call for all home technology needs, Ralph’s your guy.

Ralph is fantastic. All the good reviews here are very accurate. Ralph helped me diagnose a problem on my laptop with ease and didn’t make me feel stupid since I’m not that tech savy. He was totally accessible and best of all his prices are so reasonable. I highly recommend him.

I just hung up the phone with Ralph, I have never spoken to him before now! He was so kind and helpful and tried to resolve my printer issue over the phone. He also gave me instructions on how to check on my warranty, etc.
He is fantastic and it was a real pleasure to talk to him. I will definitely call him again and hire him!

I have hired Ralph several times for large and small projects, from transferring data from my old computer to the new one, to successfully resolving quite a few seemingly insurmountable software messes.
He’s easily reachable, responsive, accommodating to your schedule, reassuring, and very articulate. He explains things very well — at your level. He has an organized mind. He goes about solving your computer problems in a very disciplined but friendly way. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on his services in the future.

This guy is the only IT person who didn’t make me feel like an idiot and actually explained to me in layman’s terms what the problem was. He provided intuitive solutions to my problems and his recommendations were really helpful to me.
I live next door to a a computer guy who has ripped me off numerous times and I believe set me up for failure so that he could get me to come back. With Ralph, that has never happened. I trust him completely

Ralph has helped me buy several computers and printer/​fax/​scanner combinations. I was always impressed how he would guide me to the store where I could get the best computer for me for the least cost. And possibly even more importantly, Ralph helped me through two full blown computer crashes, even guiding me on how best to deal with the people who handled my extended warranty. Once my computer crashed while I was in New York, and he helped me handle the whole process over the telephone. I sincerely recommend Ralph if you need help or advice with any computer and computer-​related questions/​problems/​issues.

Whenever I have technical questions Ralph always takes the time to answer them and give alternatives to help me maintain my system

Ralph has helped me with many technical matters and i think he is excellent at what he does. He’s helped me purchase about 10 separate computers, printers, all-​in-​one fax combos, dvd players, HD TV before it was as widespread as it is, telephone systems, cell phones, MP3 players, etc. He’s also repaired various disk and system crashes and upgraded my systems. I really don’t understand how he finds the time to keep up with all the details in PC-​type magazines, or how he knows just when a particular part, system or program is being offered through rebates or on-​sale at Costco, Fry, or other tech vendors. I need a good technical resource and he’s really helped over the years.
