Grove, Jay, Afton, Miami, Vinita, Ketchum, Langley and around Grand Lake. A Local Nerd here on the lake comes to your door, or helps remotely when that's faster.
Pick a time, we come to your door, and you agree to the rate before we start. Remote help works too when that's faster.
In person from $110/hr. $39 books it, and the rest is charged when the work is done. Remote help $39 for 30 minutes. Card only, no cash or checks. You agree to the rate before we start.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
If it works in one room and not the next, that's a coverage problem and it's fixable. We start by moving things around, before anybody sells you a bigger bill.
New TV set up, streaming apps sorted out, remotes that work, and one clear explanation of which button does what.
Half of smart home gear gets installed by whoever sold it and explained to nobody. We make it work together and make sure the alerts reach you.
Slow, cluttered, full of things you didn't install. We'll clean it up, get it current, and set up a backup that runs on its own.
If you want to understand it well enough to do it yourself next time, tell us when you book. That's our favorite kind of visit.
New phone and everything is in the wrong place. We move it all across, sort the photos out, and make it readable again.
It worked yesterday and today the computer can't find it. That's a common problem, it's not something you did, and we can fix it.
We'll go through what's on there, get rid of what shouldn't be, and show you how to spot the next one.
Grand Lake is second-home country, and second homes have their own problems: internet that has to stay up while nobody's there, a camera you want to check in February from somewhere warmer, and a TV setup guests and grandkids can run without calling you. We do start-of-season visits where everything is broken, and end-of-season visits to make sure it survives the winter.
Grand Lake has a big retirement community, and it's part of why this market matters to us. One-on-one help at your pace, and the offer to teach you how it works always stands.

Yes, if broken means slow, glitchy, locked out, or won't do what it did last week. We don't open machines up to replace parts, and we don't recover data off a dead drive. When that's the problem, we say so and don't bill you for finding it out.
What opens a market is a Local Nerd who knows the area, likes people, and is good at explaining things. Set your own availability, keep the majority of every booking, and help your neighbors. See what being the Local Nerd in Grove involves or apply here.
