Patient tech help that comes to you.
Printer offline? Computer running slow? New device sitting in the box? I help with the everyday tech problems that are hard to explain over the phone.
Local help • Clear explanations • In-home support by appointment
Problems, devices, and everyday fixes
You do not need to know the technical name for the issue.
Just describe what is happening, what device it is on, and what you were trying to do. If it sounds like an in-home visit, I’ll tell you. If it sounds like something simple, I’ll tell you that too.

My computer is slow.

I forgot or need to reset a password.

Areas I help with
Practical support for home technology

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.
Wi‑Fi & devices
Router checks, weak Wi‑Fi troubleshooting, device connections, passwords, streaming devices, and smart home basics.
Scams, popups & security checks
Help checking suspicious popups, fake virus warnings, account security concerns, password cleanup, and safer everyday habits.

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 — especially for people on a fixed income. You describe the problem first, and I’ll explain the likely cost before any work starts.

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
Simple answers before you reach out.
If you are not sure what kind of help you need, that is completely normal. These questions cover the most common things people ask before scheduling.
Do I need to know what the problem is?
No. A plain description is enough. “My printer will not print,” “my computer is slow,” or “I clicked something weird” is a good place to start.
Do you come to my home?
Yes, in-home help is available by appointment around Ruskin and nearby South Shore communities, depending on availability and distance.
Can you help with printers?
Yes. I can help connect printers to Wi‑Fi, install them on a computer, test printing/scanning, and explain basic use.
Can you help if I clicked on a suspicious popup?
Yes. I can check for common scam popups, browser issues, unwanted programs, fake virus warnings, and basic account safety steps.
Can you move files or photos to a new computer?
Yes. I can help move documents, photos, desktop files, and other personal files, then set up a simple backup plan when appropriate.
How much will it cost?
The standard in-home rate is $60 for the first hour, then $40 each additional hour. Some common jobs have starting ranges, and I’ll explain the likely cost before work starts.
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’ll follow up before any appointment is confirmed.
