How an in-home tech visit works
Before you call, here is exactly what to expect, from the first phone call to the note I leave on your table.
Call or Text
We can discuss what the problem is and attempt to figure out a quick solution. I'd be happy to spare 15 minutes to chat if you are facing a small issue.
Schedule a time to visit
We can book a time that works for you and send a confirmation, then I will text the morning of the visit so you know I am on my way!
We figure out what needs fixing
Before starting any services, I'll ask what you want to have accomplished. This is an important step, because I want to hear what's going on and create a tailored solution for you. Everybody has a different level of understanding to their technology, and I will always cater to that.
No surprise costs!
You will always know the price before my visit. If a job needs more than the first hour, I will give you a heads up and ask if you would like to extend the visit before proceeding.
Try it for yourself
I provide the opportunity to show you how to maintain your device or setup (this will vary on service offered). Self-sufficiency is important where possible!
I leave a summary note; tailored for you
A one-page summary in large print: what we did, what to watch for, and how to reach me. This will include an informal invoice that summarizes the cost and payment options.
Helpful to have ready
- The device that needs help, charged or plugged in
- Any passwords you have written down, especially email, Apple ID or Google, and Wi-Fi
- The sticker information from your router, if the problem is Wi-Fi
- A short list of anything else you want to ask about while I am there
Can't find a password? That's okay. We will work through it together.
What I help with
- Slow computers, phones, and tablets
- Wi-Fi that drops and printers that refuse
- Setting up new devices and moving photos over
- Suspicious emails, calls, and pop-ups, and cleaning up after a scam
- Backups, so nothing gets lost
- Plain-English lessons on anything you want to understand
What I send elsewhere
- Major hardware repair beyond simple part swaps, like cracked screens or water damage
- Medical equipment and medical alert devices
- Logging into your bank for you. I will sit with you and show you how, but your banking stays in your hands.
If I cannot help, I will tell you who can.
