Service Rates for 2023
Backup your files are very time-consuming, and may take up to 1 hour; reinstalling them can take up to an hour as well. To clean/reinstall software/personal data can take up to 3-4 hours, yet, at the same time, I will go as quickly as your files will travel to your computer. I’ve had customers who ask how long it takes, and a lot of the times I’ve told them only about 2 hours when it ended up being like up to 4 hours. I can’t afford to lose that much time any longer.
Effective as of March 1, 2023, my hourly rate will be $95/hr.
Backup/Reinstall Software/Personal Data/Reinstalling Windows with all updates: 2-4 hours of time: $190-380. This includes all of the backups, installation of the software, and updates, just like the title says.
Building custom-made computers (around, depending on the market-sometimes more sometimes less. The last computer I built would only cost about $700 because he didn’t need a GPU)$1000 and up; with 5-6 hours of labor with that in mind. I do the complete job: Not only do I put everything together, but I also test your computer for 24-72 hours non-stop, making sure that all of your data is restored, backups, and software that you wanted back onto your computer. If you just want a completely new computer with no backups, most likely it will take about 3-4 hours to build.
If you want to bring all of the parts to me, I’d only charge about $285.
Installing software and updating software is between a 1/4 hour on up. If only installing the software will be a minimum of $95.00
***NEW: I will install/have installed a water cooler on your computer. Up To ~$300. Depends on what part you want, or if there are lots of details on your computer.
Any other repair will depend on what it is. Please anticipate a minimum of 1 hour up to 2 hours for MOST jobs. Backups/Reinstalling, etc always take more.
SHOP RATES as of March 2023.
For residential customers that bring their computers to me: $95/hour.
If a concise time is spent on your computer, like 30 minutes or less it’s only $60 for that repair-(only in the shop). If for some reason, the computer, printer, etc are not repairable, and I’ve spent even 2-3 hours on it, I will only charge you my minimum fee of $95.
Any business customers that bring their computers/printers to me are $120/hour. If I travel to your work, I may require a 2-hour minimum. There is no fee for me to pick up your computer/printer at your business in Waterford only.
***I will give a 10% discount on labor (not parts) to Any Grade School Students: 1-12 from any school.***
