Services & Pricing

These are typical flat-rate services and starting prices for common jobs. Actual pricing may vary depending on the complexity of the problem and the time involved, but everything will be explained up front before any work starts.

Standard PC Tune-Up & Troubleshooting

$120

A full checkup for slow or misbehaving computers. Includes updates, security and malware checks, junk cleanup, startup optimization, and a final performance check. If a bigger hardware problem is found, we'll discuss options before doing any extra work.

Simple Photo & File Rescue (Working Drive)

$120

For a computer that won't start, but the hard drive is still healthy. I remove the drive if needed, copy your photos and documents, and place them on a USB stick or external drive. If I can't recover anything meaningful, you don't pay.

Advanced Data Recovery Attempt

$180

For failing or corrupted drives that need deeper recovery work.

$180 – When a good amount of important data (like many of your photos/documents) is recovered.
No charge – If nothing usable can be recovered.
This is a best-effort software-based recovery service only (no cleanroom repairs).

New Computer Setup (No Data Transfer)

$120

Bought a new PC and not sure where to start? I set up Windows, user account, basic privacy settings, updates, and essential apps, then make sure you can browse the web, check email, and print (if you have a printer).

New Computer Setup + Data Transfer

$180

Everything in the standard setup, plus transferring your documents and photos from your old computer where possible.

Phone / Tablet Setup

Add-on to another on-site service: +$40

Printer & Peripheral Setup

$80

I install and configure printers, scanners, or similar devices, then test them so you know they're working.

Standalone visit: $80
Add-on to a tune-up or other on-site service: +$40

Operating System Refresh / Reinstall

$160

For computers that are too far gone for a normal tune-up. I back up your documents and photos where possible, perform a Windows reset or clean install, reinstall basic software, and restore your files.

Hardware Upgrades (SSD / RAM)

$100 labour + parts

Speed up an older computer by upgrading its hard drive to a solid-state drive (SSD) and/or adding more memory. Includes installation and basic testing. Can be combined with an operating system refresh.

Home Networking & Wi‑Fi Checkup

$120

I review your modem/router setup, improve Wi‑Fi names and passwords, connect key devices (PC, phones, TV, printer), and run basic speed and stability tests. You'll get a simple explanation of the results and any recommended changes.

Backup Setup & Automatic Backups

$120

I help you choose a backup method (external drive, cloud, or both), set it up to run automatically, and show you where your backups are stored so you know your important files are protected.

Standalone backup setup: $120
Add-on to a tune-up or new PC setup: +$60

Secure Data Wipe & Computer Recycling

$80

Have an old computer you don’t trust to throw out? I securely erase the hard drive so your personal data can’t be recovered, then either recycle the computer responsibly or leave it ready for donation.

Secure Data Wipe: $80 (Can also be added to another visit for a reduced fee.)

Product Consultation

$80

I come to your home, discuss your needs in person, and provide a printed list of 2–3 recommended options with clear prices.

In‑home consultation: $80

Full-Service PC Setup (White Glove)

$220 + cost of equipment

A complete "handle it for me" package: We discuss your needs, budget, and preferences. I research and provide a short list of recommended options with prices. You choose what you want; nothing is purchased without your approval. I arrange the purchase (or help you order in your name), then set up the computer with updates and basic software before it reaches your home. I deliver it, connect it to your internet and printer, and make sure everything is working.

Ideal for anyone who wants a new computer that "just works" without the stress of shopping and setup.
