How it works

  1. Free walkthrough or call. 30 minutes. I look at what you have and tell you plainly what's solid and what's at risk.
  2. Written quote with a date. Fixed-price, scoped clearly, no vague hourly, no surprise add-ons.
  3. We do the work. Cleanly. Cables hidden, gear labeled, everything documented and tested before I leave.
