Here are some of the Services we offer -
It's my desire to serve your every computing need, and it would be
impossible to list each of the types of service I can provide, but below
you will find some of the classic areas where I have helped many folks.
My expertise lies in the "Non-Business-Server Oriented Settings."
If your home or business is not connected to a Server I'd be happy to help.
Examples of how I might help in the Residential and Small Business Environment:
Speed up your sluggish computer
Software installation
Resolve Windows software errors
Remove viruses and malware
Installation of computer enhancing software
Email setup
Update Windows Operating system to full potential
Lost data retrieval (outside source for catastrophic loss)
Data backup and transfer assistance
Setup of TV networking
Install new computer RAM memory, a hard drive, or a CD/DVD drive
Printer and webcam setup
Software configuration for optimal performance
Remove space wasting programs that slow your computer
Rebuild your entire operating system
Skype and Yahoo, with both message and video setup
Personal computer training
Wireless and Network Setup for the Home and Non-Server Oriented Business
Smart phone setups, including both iPhone and Android phones
PC Integration with Surveillance System
If an hourly fee works the best for you then that will be $56/hour in the residential setting and $60/hour for small business locations. As an added help, the maximum charge for a complete rebuild of your operating system will not exceed $150 (not including any parts or software needed).
If you need a laptop power jack replacement, a new laptop keyboard, laptop screen repair, or other specialized hardware repairs I can point you to a co-worker who can take care of these needs too, up to and including building a brand new desktop computer for you.
Many technicians encountering viruses rush to rebuild your entire system, and charge a large flat fee to do so. I am continually studying methods of removing viruses and malware short of such a radical rebuild procedure, and I have great success at it. If it turns out the virus is too complex or hidden within system files then we can talk about a full rebuild at a reasonable flat fee, but often within 2 hours I am successful at removing the problem and getting you back up and going again...virus free! However, let me say here...if it has been at least 2 years since you have backed up all your data on to an external medium (CD, DVD, Flash Drive, External Hard Drive, etc.) and then had your Windows Operating System rebuilt, then you should give strong consideration to having me do this for you. It will clear the registry, realign the hard drive's magnetic heads, and increase the speed and performance of your computer immensely. I have a flat fee for this service of $150. This flat fee covers the install of your Windows operating system, Windows device drivers, basic programs, and the transfer of your personal data (75 gigabytes or less) from the old drive to the new. It covers up to, but not exceeding, 3 hours of service time. If you have above 75 gigabytes of data or programs that require advanced setup procedures and time it may exceed the allotted 3 hours and would incur additional hourly costs. A really great value!
Either way, by the time I've restored your system you will think you have a new computer again.
I'd be happy to help you set up your email program, word processor, configure your picture applications, video solutions, and many other applications. Or, if what would serve you the best is to have me spend some time teaching you how to work with a specific program, or get more from your computer, I'd be happy to do that as well. I spent many years as a college professor so spending time teaching you would be my pleasure.
Here are some "FLAT FEE" Services we can offer you:
Full system rebuild (Includes: Backup of your current files, Reloading your operating system, installing all drivers, full Windows Updates, free antivirus program, free spyware program, free picture viewing program, Adobe Reader, Adobe Shock Wave, Adobe Flash, Java, PDF creator, Backup software, Additional Internet Browsers, File Finder, and a Temporary file removing program.) Takes around 3 hours. All for just $150. If I am able to complete the process in under 3 hours the total fee would be less than $150.
Partial system rebuild (Includes: Backup of your current files, Reloading your operating system and installing all drivers). Takes between 2-3 hours. Just $75.
Installing RAM memory - (Includes: Installing the memory chip, checking for spyware and viruses, and various other tweaks or adjustments to your system.) Takes around 30-60 minutes. Just $50 (parts extra)
Installing new hard drive - (Includes: Loading your operating system and installing all drivers.) Takes between 2-3 hours. Just $175 (parts extra). This flat fee covers the install of your Windows operating system, Windows device drivers, basic programs, and the transfer of your personal data (75 gigabytes or less) from the old drive to the new. It covers up to, but not exceeding, 3 hours of service time. If you have above 75 gigabytes of data or programs that require advanced setup procedures and time it may exceed the allotted 3 hours and would incur additional hourly costs.
If your computer is beginning to slow down but you really don't want to purchase a brand new computer one of the things I'm starting to recommend more and more these days is to upgrade to a new Solid State Hard Drive (SSD).
One SSD maker is the "Crucial" brand. I especially like their SSDs because they offer a 250 gigabyte drive that often sells for as little as $70. These drives are not for the client who saves hundreds of pictures and videos that take up a huge amount of hard drive space, but for the client who only keeps a modest amount of data on their computer this can be a great upgrade.
SSDs are super fast, run silently, and don't heat up. They are especially great for laptops that tend to overheat as well as for desktop and laptop computers that are slowing down.
I can come to your home or place of business and install a new Crucial 250gb SSD, transfer your files from your current hard drive, install your favorite programs in around 2 to 3 hours, and have you up and going again with a computer that runs faster than it did when it was new.
I have a flat fee for this upgrade of $275. This flat fee covers the install of your Windows operating system, Windows device drivers, basic programs, and the transfer of your personal data (75 gigabytes or less) from the old drive to the new. It covers up to, but not exceeding, 3 hours of service time. If you have above 75 gigabytes of data or programs that require advanced setup procedures and time it may exceed the allotted 3 hours and would incur additional hourly costs.
