Broad technical range
We work across computers, networking, wiring, Wi-Fi, televisions, streaming and smart-home systems rather than treating each device as an isolated problem.
Computer House Calls serves homes and businesses.
Computer House Calls has been solving technology problems since 1987. What began as computer and technical consulting has grown into a technology business serving homes and businesses covering networking, Ethernet and coax wiring, Wi-Fi, AV, smart-home systems and computer support.
Computer House Calls traces its roots to Washington, DC in 1987. The business originally combined technical consulting with work for clients in the political and public-affairs world, where reliability, confidentiality and trust mattered as much as technical ability.
Founder Nathaniel Lack had already been involved with personal computing for a decade. His interest began in the 1970s, continued through an early high-school computer club, and expanded during college at the University of Texas as personal computers were moving from hobbyist equipment into homes and businesses.
In 1983, while at the University of Texas, Nathaniel worked alongside his next-door neighbor Michael Dell in the early PC resale operation that became Dell. The experience came during the formative years of the personal-computer industry and helped establish the hands-on, practical approach to technology that still defines the company.
In the mid-1990s, the business moved to the Atlanta area and shifted away from political consulting to focus on technology service. Since then, Computer House Calls has served more than 10,000 customers, with the business built overwhelmingly through repeat clients and referrals.
Hands-on involvement with personal computing began before PCs became mainstream.

Computers, networking, Ethernet and coax wiring, Wi-Fi, AV, smart-home technology and more.
Today's home may combine fiber internet, multi-gig networking, mesh Wi-Fi, Ethernet, streaming, smart devices, computers and cloud services. Problems often cross several of those systems at once.
We work across computers, networking, wiring, Wi-Fi, televisions, streaming and smart-home systems rather than treating each device as an isolated problem.
Years of field work include thousands of in-home technology installations, giving the company practical experience with real houses, real construction and real-world troubleshooting.
The company has grown primarily through repeat customers and referrals rather than through a high-volume call-center model.
Nathaniel has worked with computers and technology since the earliest years of the personal-computer industry. His background spans hands-on computer work, consulting, networking, field installation, troubleshooting and residential technology.
That breadth matters because many customer problems do not fit neatly into one category. A slow computer may actually be a network problem. Poor Wi-Fi may require Ethernet. A television issue may involve streaming, cabling, networking or account configuration. Computer House Calls is built around solving the entire problem rather than stopping at the edge of a narrow specialty.
Nathaniel has also appeared as a technology expert on CNN and more than 100 local and network-affiliate television stations, and has been quoted in both local and national publications.
