What IT Support Really Costs in Tampa Bay
Search "IT support Tampa" and most results say "call for a quote." We'd rather you know exactly what you're paying before you pick up the phone.
Hourly Service
| Service | Rate |
|---|---|
| Residential (on-site or remote) | $125/hr |
| Commercial (on-site or remote) | $175/hr |
| On-site minimum | 1 hour |
| Remote billing | 15-minute increments |
| Virus removal, home computer (remote) | $150 flat |
| Pickup & return, residential (hardware issues) | From $200 flat |
| Pickup & return, commercial (hardware issues) | From $300 flat |
Many jobs can also be quoted flat-rate instead of hourly, ask when you call.
Our Fix-It Guarantee
If we can't fix it, you don't pay for our time. And every repair carries a 30-day warranty on labor: if the same problem comes back within 30 days, we fix it free.
The fine print, in plain English: the guarantee covers repair labor, hourly or flat-rate. Parts and equipment you approved are billed separately. Data recovery is quoted on its own terms, because results depend on the condition of the drive. A new or unrelated problem, physical or liquid damage after the repair, or changes made by someone else after we finish aren't covered. Setup, training and consulting time is billed as usual, since there's nothing broken to fix, and maintenance plan fees aren't labor.
