About Bayside

Local help from Drew.

Bayside Tech Support is local, appointment-based in-home tech help for everyday computer, device, Wi‑Fi, printer, and account problems. The goal is simple: make technology less frustrating and easier to use.

Quick answers before you reach out.

Do I need to know exactly what is wrong?

No. Just describe what is happening, what device it is on, and what you were trying to do. A description like “my printer says offline” or “my computer is very slow” is enough to start.

How does pricing work?

The first hour is $60. Additional time is $40 per hour after that. The pricing section has common examples like computer tune-up, printer setup, Wi‑Fi help, and new device setup.

What happens after I send the form?

I’ll review your request and follow up using your preferred contact method. If it looks like a good fit for an in-home visit, we can schedule from there.

What areas do you serve?

Bayside serves Ruskin, Apollo Beach, Riverview, Parrish, Ellenton, and nearby South Shore / Tampa Bay communities depending on distance and scheduling.

Do you help seniors or beginners?

Yes. Patient one-on-one help is one of the main reasons Bayside Tech Support exists. I can slow down, explain things clearly, and help with everyday tasks without making you feel rushed.

Do you help with smart TVs, streaming, email, or passwords?

Yes, for regular home-user help. I can help with smart TVs, streaming devices, email setup, video calls, online forms, and safe password/account guidance when appropriate.

Do you repair hard drives or recover data from failed drives?

No. I can help transfer files/photos from working computers, working external drives, or working old devices, but I do not repair hard drives or perform professional data recovery from failed or physically damaged drives.

Do you have a storefront or public address?

No. Bayside Tech Support is appointment-based in-home help. I do not list a public address or accept drop-off devices.
