35 years.
Same mission.
Started in 1989 as Eaton & Associates. Now Eaton & Associates. Four offices nationwide—San Mateo, San Francisco, San Diego, and Boulder. Same family ownership. Same commitment: when things break, we fix them. Fast.
Not corporate values.
Actual standards.
We don't have posters on the wall. We have expectations—for ourselves.
Show up when it matters
We've driven to Sacramento at midnight for a switch. Built firewalls from spare parts during state testing. When you're down, we're there.
Say what's true
No inflated timelines to look like heroes. No unnecessary upgrades. We tell you what you actually need—even if it's less than you expected.
Fix it right the first time
Band-aids become technical debt. We solve problems at the root, document everything, and make sure the same issue doesn't happen twice.
Answer the phone
Real people, real responses. No ticket purgatory, no offshore call centers. You'll talk to someone who can actually help.
