Ruskin & South Shore Florida
Printer offline? Computer running slow? New device sitting in the box? I help with the everyday tech problems that are hard to explain over the phone.
Local help • Clear explanations • In-home support by appointment
Problems, devices, and everyday fixes
Just describe what is happening, what device it is on, and what you were trying to do. If it sounds like an in-home visit, I’ll tell you. If it sounds like something simple, I’ll tell you that too.
Areas I help with
New PC setup, Windows updates, slow computer cleanup, software installs, account setup, and basic troubleshooting.
Printer installation, Wi‑Fi printing, scanner setup, driver problems, and help choosing a replacement if needed.
Move files from an old computer, organize documents/photos, set up external drives, and create simple backup routines.
Router checks, weak Wi‑Fi troubleshooting, device connections, passwords, streaming devices, and smart home basics.
Help checking suspicious popups, fake virus warnings, account security concerns, password cleanup, and safer everyday habits.
Patient help learning email, files, photos, video calls, online forms, and everyday computer tasks.
Fair, simple pricing
My goal is to be straightforward and fair — especially for people on a fixed income. You describe the problem first, and I’ll explain the likely cost before any work starts.
Most common
$60 first hour, then $40/hr
Best for mixed troubleshooting, printers, Wi‑Fi, setup help, slow computers, file transfers, and general questions.

Estimate first
$80–$220
Photo/document backup, file transfer, external drive setup, or operating system migration. Final price depends on time and data size.
These are simple starting ranges, not a menu of stacked fees. If the hourly rate is cheaper for your job, I’ll use that. If something is not worth fixing, I’ll say so before you spend money.

Not sure where to start?
You do not have to diagnose the problem before asking for help. Send a short description, and I’ll let you know whether it sounds like an in-home visit, a quick phone/text question, or something that may need parts or replacement.
