Service coverage

Broad enough to be useful, but grouped so it scans like a real service menu.

This keeps local IT from sounding like it only serves one audience. The page is now explicit that the work covers homes and small businesses without making either one feel like an afterthought.

Home tech and setup

Get devices, accounts, and day-to-day tech working the way they should.

  • New PC or Mac setup, migrations, updates, and cleanup
  • Email setup, app installs, backup basics, and practical security guidance
  • Help for the kinds of issues that make home tech feel harder than it should
Wi-Fi and network fixes

Improve signal, stability, and device connectivity without overcomplicating it.

  • Router and mesh setup, dead-zone mitigation, and drop troubleshooting
  • Printer network issues and device connectivity cleanup
  • Recommendations stay practical and hardware changes happen only when needed
Printers and smart home

Support for the frustrating hardware that usually gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

  • Printer setup, driver cleanup, and home-office support
  • Doorbells, cameras, notifications, app setup, and storage basics
  • Simple documentation and guidance so the system stays usable after the visit
Small business support

Day-to-day IT cleanup for smaller offices without pretending to be a giant MSP.

  • Workstations, Wi-Fi improvements, printers, and user troubleshooting
  • Simple backups, handoff notes, and practical cleanup for recurring issues
  • Support scaled to smaller environments that just need reliable help
Rates and travel

Reasonable pricing language without pretending every visit costs the same.

Service calls vary, so the page now sets expectations clearly: what the standard first visit looks like, what changes the price, and when a larger quote makes more sense.
