Straight Answers

The Three Things Every Business Asks Us First

How fast do you respond when we're down?

Premium and Advanced clients get a 2-hour response target during business hours, and we aim for the same with everyone. When calls stack up, plan clients come first, then other business clients, then everyone else in the order they called, and existing clients always come ahead of new ones. Work starts remotely, before anyone drives. The Advanced plan adds 24/7 monitoring with a live SOC, so an incident at 2 a.m. is already being worked when you open the office.

See what each plan covers →

What does it cost a month, and what's included?

Plans are priced per computer and posted: Automated $75, Premium $125, Advanced $150, with EDR on every plan and the 24/7 SOC and $100K warranty on Advanced. Hourly work is $175, billed in 15-minute increments for remote. No quote-only pricing.

Before You Hand Over Access

How We Protect Your Business

Under written agreement

Work is scoped in writing and covered by a signed confidentiality agreement, so everyone knows what we're doing and your information stays yours.

Fully insured, cyber included

We carry $1M/$2M general liability, $1M cyber liability and errors & omissions insurance, so if something goes wrong on our watch, there's a policy behind us, not just an apology. Certificate of insurance on request.

Background-checked owner

The person who accesses your network is the owner, Alden Stenberg, who has passed a background check, and your signed agreement binds Bay Geeks to confidentiality.

Documented data handling

A written policy governs access, retention and secure end-of-life drive destruction, from procurement through disposal.

See our compliance approach →

Although our on-site visits are usually limited to the Tampa Bay area, we offer a range of remote solutions that can handle most issues as long as your workstation can get online. When a system needs more hands-on attention, it may be a good fit for our pickup & return service: we collect the computer from your preferred location, diagnose and repair it, test it thoroughly, and bring it back working.

IT Support Without Hiring Full-Time Staff

A Bay Geeks technician can conduct a site survey of your current infrastructure and recommend proactive measures that head off unexpected downtime before it costs you time and money. We can work quietly behind the scenes automating routine maintenance, or act as a full help desk for your entire staff: think of us as an extension of your team.

We'll also manage the full lifecycle of your machines, from procurement through secure end-of-life hard drive destruction, and handle warranty issues as they come up, so you can stay focused on running your business.

Experience You Can Count On

Our commercial clients span law firms, medical practices, engineering and architectural firms, manufacturing plants, auto and boat dealers, retailers, distributors, restaurants, assisted living facilities, breweries, hotels and schools. Whether your business has one employee or several hundred, our plans scale to fit.

See what's included for law firms, medical practices, accounting firms, retail & restaurants, or assisted living communities.

Experienced With Assisted Living & Senior Care Facilities

We've supported assisted living and senior care communities across Tampa Bay for years, and we understand the environment is different from a typical office: staff need dependable systems while caring for residents, families expect reliable Wi-Fi when they visit, and downtime isn't just an inconvenience: it can affect resident care and safety. We work across independent living, assisted living and memory care divisions, and we're comfortable with multi-site networks and multi-building campuses, where reliable connectivity has to extend well beyond a single office.

Tampa Bay is home base: we've worked with communities in St. Petersburg, Bay Pines, Clearwater, Largo, Palm Harbor, Tampa, Temple Terrace, Lutz and Land O' Lakes. The same work has taken us across Florida, to Sarasota, Fort Myers, Orlando, Winter Park, Clermont, St. Augustine, Boynton Beach and Parkland, and as far as St. Louis, Missouri. If you run more than one community, you get one team that already knows how senior living operates: on-site service around Tampa Bay, with remote support and project work for the buildings farther out.

We help facilities keep nurse stations, administrative workstations and resident/guest networks running smoothly, integrate security cameras and access systems, and take a compliance-minded approach to protecting sensitive resident data. Call to schedule a site survey and we'll walk your facility with you to identify gaps before they become problems.

Low Voltage & Network Installation

Structured cabling, security cameras, access control, AV and intercom systems. We maintain, repair and replace the equipment and cabling ourselves. Work that needs a permit or a Florida low-voltage license, such as new construction and permitted commercial jobs, goes to our licensed partner, A Plus Cable Runners Inc., and Bay Geeks stays your point of contact. Call to schedule a site survey and we'll assess your environment and draft a proposal tailored to your space.
