Local help • Clear explanations • In-home support by appointment
Areas I help with
Practical support for home technology
Printers & scanners
Printer installation, Wi‑Fi printing, scanner setup, driver problems, and help choosing a replacement if needed.
Files, photos & backups
Move files from an old computer, organize documents/photos, set up external drives, and create simple backup routines.
Phones, tablets & Wi‑Fi
Help with smartphones, iPads and tablets, email, apps, photos, passwords, Wi‑Fi connections, streaming devices, and basic settings.
Scams, popups & security checks
Help checking suspicious popups, fake virus warnings, account security concerns, password cleanup, and safer everyday habits.
One-on-one coaching
Patient help learning email, files, photos, video calls, online forms, and everyday computer tasks.
Fair, simple pricing
Affordable help without a pile of confusing service fees.
My goal is to be straightforward and fair: no surprise fees, unnecessary upgrades, or work you have not approved. You describe the problem first, and I’ll explain the likely cost before anything begins.

Estimate first
Data, backup & migration

These ranges are estimates based on the hourly rate — not additional fees. I’ll explain which price applies and get your approval before beginning. If the hourly rate is cheaper for your job, I’ll use that. If something is not worth fixing, I’ll say so before you spend money.
About Bayside Tech Support
Hi, I’m Drew.
Bayside Tech Support is my local tech support service for people around Ruskin and South Shore who want a real person to look at the problem, explain what is happening, and help get it fixed.
I want this to feel different from the big-box repair counter: less upselling, less confusion, and more honest help with the thing you actually called about.
Service area: Ruskin, Sun City Center, Apollo Beach, Wimauma, Gibsonton, and nearby South Shore neighborhoods depending on availability.
Frequently asked questions
A few details before you reach out.
Here are the practical questions people usually have before scheduling an in-home tech visit.
How quickly do you respond?
I usually respond within one business day. If your request is urgent, choose “As soon as possible” on the form.
What happens during a visit?
I’ll look at the problem, explain what I’m seeing in plain language, discuss the likely cost, and get your approval before doing the work.
How do payment and pricing work?
The minimum in-home visit is $60, which includes travel within my standard service area and up to one hour of help. Additional time is $40 per hour.
What if the device is not worth fixing?
I’ll tell you. If a replacement, warranty claim, or store return makes more sense, I’ll explain that before you spend money on unnecessary work.
Make a request
Tell me what you need help with.
Send the device, the problem, your general location, and the best way to reach you. You do not have to diagnose the issue first — a short description like “it just isn’t working” is enough to begin. I usually respond within one business day and will follow up before any appointment is confirmed.
