Phone repair in Hawley
I come to you — the house, the rental, the dock. Screens, batteries and charging ports fixed at your door around Hawley and Lake Wallenpaupack.
A broken phone at the lake is a different problem
If you live here it is an inconvenience. If you are up for the weekend it is a genuine emergency — that phone has the directions, the booking, the photos from the last two days and the number of whoever you came with.
And the options are thin. There is no repair counter in Hawley. The nearest ones are the far side of Honesdale or most of an hour back toward Scranton, which is not a trip anyone wants to make on a weekend they paid for.
So I come out instead. House, rental, marina parking lot, wherever you are. An iPhone screen or battery is usually 30 to 60 minutes after I get to you, and you keep the day.
What it costs to come out here
| Travel to Hawley & the lake | $45 |
| Screen replacement | from $125 |
| Battery replacement | from $120 |
| Charging port clean & check | from $35 |
| Back glass | from $115 |
| Diagnosis | always free |
Hawley is about 33 miles out — the 20 to 35 mile band. The $45 is charged once per visit, never per phone. If there are three phones at a lake house, that is still one $45. $50 is the most travel will ever be, anywhere I go.
Lakeville, Paupack, Tafton — same run
The north and east shore is one trip for me: Hawley, Lakeville, Paupack, Tafton, White Mills, and on into Honesdale. Same price across all of it.
If you are renting and the house has a few phones in it, book them together. One trip, one travel fee, everybody sorted in an afternoon.
Water damage — what actually helps
It happens here more than anywhere else I go. A phone in the lake, a phone in a cooler, a phone that went in the boat.
Three things, in order. Power it off and leave it off. Do not plug it in — putting current through a wet board is what turns a recoverable phone into a dead one. And do not put it in rice; it does nothing useful and the dust gets into the ports.
What I fix
Cracked screens, batteries, charging ports and back glass. iPhone 8 through 17 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy A and S series, Google Pixel.
Price is by model, not a flat rate. Check yours in the booking tool and you get the real number, travel included, before I set off.
How it works
Tell me what broke
Your phone, the problem, where you are staying. Two taps and you get a price with the $45 already in it.
I drive out
House, rental, parking lot — whatever is easiest. Free diagnosis on arrival, and if it is not worth fixing you hear that first.
Fixed where you are
An iPhone screen or battery is usually fixed in 30 to 60 minutes after I get to you; other phones and repairs can take longer. I test everything with you before I hand it back.
One person turns up — and it's always me
No call center, no rotating technicians, no phone vanishing into a back room. The person who quotes you is the person who does the repair, and the person you text if something isn't right six months later.
Questions, answered
Do you come out to Hawley and the lake?
Yes. Hawley is about 33 miles from Scranton, which is the 20 to 35 mile band. Travel is $45 once per visit and the diagnosis is free. The Wallenpaupack shore, Lakeville, Paupack and Tafton are all the same run.
Can you come to a rental or a lake house?
Yes, and it’s a common job in summer. I work out of my own vehicle, so a driveway or a parking spot is all that’s needed. You don’t have to be at a permanent address.
I’m only up here for the weekend. Can you come out quickly?
Text me with the model and the problem and I’ll tell you honestly whether I can reach you in time. If I can’t, I’ll say so rather than let you wait on a maybe.
How much is the travel fee to Hawley?
$45, charged once per visit and never per phone. If there are two or three phones at the house, you pay the $45 once. $50 is the ceiling anywhere I go.
My phone got wet at the lake. Is it worth doing anything?
Sometimes, and speed matters more than anything else. Power it off, don’t charge it, and don’t put it in rice. Call and I’ll tell you what’s realistic before you spend money on it.
What if it turns out not to be worth fixing?
Then I tell you, and the diagnosis still costs nothing. I may make a cash offer for the phone instead. I’d rather lose the job than sell you a repair on a phone that isn’t worth it.
