Tired of driving to Gresham or further into the Portland metropolitan area to
fix a broken cell phone screen, a faulty laptop or a video game console on the
fritz?

Lifetime Sandy resident Blake Horsfall understands your pain. Horsfall recently
opened a brick and mortar location for his information technology and
electronics repair services business, Restore Hub, in downtown Sandy to
address the Mount Hood community’s technology needs.

“We try to be a one-stop shop no matter the (technology) issue,” Horsfall
said.

Horsfall started Restore Hub out of his house in Sandy in February 2021. Less
than a year later, he relocated the business in January to a storefront located
at 39084 Proctor Boulevard, Unit B in Sandy.

“I love Sandy and have lived here my whole life. It’s growing and I wanted to
be a part of that,” Horsfall said.

Restore Hub offers computer, smart phone and tablet repair, business
information technology services, web design and data recovery. Restore Hub
aims to serve the needs of individuals and small businesses in the region.
“Pretty much anything to do with technology we do it,” Horsfall said.
Restore Hub is open to walk-in customers 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through
Thursday, and available on Friday and Saturday by appointment.
Horsfall offers consultations for larger projects, such as website design or
creating server networks.

“I try to give a couple approaches to tackling a project,” Horsfall said.
On-site services are available for customers who need assistance at their
home or business with computer repair or setting up a wi-fi network.
Horsfall began working in the information technology field as an IT intern for
SandyNet, the City of Sandy’s community internet service utility. He attended

George Fox University, where he received a Computer Science Degree. While
attending school he worked at uBreakiFix cellphone and computer repair shop
in Sherwood.

“I realized I wanted to focus more on repair services during my time there,”
Horsfall said.

Horsfall handles most facets of the business, such as repairs to website and
network design, and partners with national companies for certain data
recovery issues.

Horsfall plans to incorporate a strong retail focus as the business establishes
itself and become more of an electronics store.

Restore Hub is currently an authorized reseller for Dell, Western Digital hard
drives and other technology manufacturers.

“We’re trying to build the business organically and debt-free. Eventually we’d
like to shift to a larger space with more stock,” Horsfall said. “We’d like to be
the local, independently owned service solution for everyone’s technology
needs, from little old ladies to small businesses.”

Restore Hub can be contacted for additional information or to arrange a
consultation by phone at 503-427-8120 or by email at
