What it costs
Most places make you call to find out. Here is what I charge, so you can decide before you pick up the phone.

In your home
In-home assessmentI come out, look at what you already have, and you get a written plan — what needs doing, what to buy if anything, and what it will cost. About an hour.

Shops, salons and offices
Small business on-siteBusiness work is charged by the hour, because no two jobs look alike.
$125/hr
The price is the price
You get the number before I start, and it does not change once I am there. If it turns out to be a bigger job than the price covers, I will tell you before I carry on, not afterwards.
No contracts
Nothing to sign, nothing renewing in the background. If something else comes up later, I am a text away.
Hardware is separate
These are my prices for the work. If you need a router, a mesh unit, a backup drive, a car stereo or a dash cam, you buy it and keep the receipt — I am not marking it up.
When it is not my job
If a drive has physically failed, that belongs at a specialist recovery lab, and I will tell you that rather than charge you to find out.
