- Hours can be pre-purchased upon request or when required by a project.

What hours are you open for consulting?
Our normal service hours are Monday through Friday 10:00am until 4:00pm Eastern time.
What tools do you use to coordinate meetings?
- Google Meet is used to communicate during meetings.
- Webcams are optional and if a mic is not available on your computer, you may use a phone to call into the Google Meet. You’ll receive this information after your appointment is confirmed by a technician.
- If any remote configuration is required, we will have you connect us to your computer via Screen Connect at the beginning of your appointment.
- We prefer not to use other meeting clients or remote connection software.
What if I want to send you documentation or screenshots before our appointment?
- After we respond to your initial request with a booking link, you may send us whatever information you think will help during your appointment if needed.
- Any and all information sent prior to an appointment will only be reviewed at the technician’s discretion. We are not required to review any documentation prior to a meeting as that is considered billable time.
- DO NOT send any passwords or sensitive information via email or this contact form. The technician will either request that information during your meeting or coordinate a secure way to send the information otherwise.
Warranty Information

- Each hour that we work is billable regardless of the outcome of said work.
- While we will make recommendations on the level of effort required to implement a solution or fix an issue, it is up to you to let us know if there is a cap on the number of hours we spend per engagement.
