Who I Am

About

Portrait of Nat Houlares, founder of NatWorks Technology

I'm Nat. I've worked in tech for over 25 years — building networks, configuring servers, designing A/V and demonstration systems, and supporting the people who use them. My work has powered museum exhibits across the country and interactive retail displays worldwide.

I started as an IT Manager at a production company in Watertown, then spent twenty years in corporate engineering. But residential and small-business work has always been what I love most.

I live in Jamaica Plain with my wife and three children. Born and raised in the Boston area, I treat every home the way I'd want someone to treat mine.

Common Questions

FAQ

Do you service both Mac and PC?

Yes — both Mac and Windows, plus iOS, Android, Linux, and most networking hardware. If it connects to the internet, I can probably help.

How quickly can you come out?

I respond within 24 hours, often the same day, and can usually schedule a visit within 1–3 days. For urgent issues, I'll do my best to fit you in sooner.

What if you can't fix the problem?

If I can't solve the issue, I'll tell you up front and won't charge you for wasted time. In most cases I can at least identify the problem and point you to the right specialist or replacement part.

Do you work with small businesses too?

Yes — home offices, small retail shops, and small professional practices. Same rates, same approach.

Do you run cables inside walls?

No — in-wall cable runs and drywall work are outside my scope. I run cables cleanly along baseboards, through cable channels, or behind furniture. For in-wall work I can recommend a low-voltage electrician.

Are you insured?

Yes, I carry professional liability insurance. Certificate of insurance available on request.
