Common reasons to call
- A business is opening a new location or office and needs the computers set up and ready to work
- Old machines are slow or failing and the owner wants new ones set up without losing files or settings
- A growing team needs more workstations added and all wired into the same shared files and printers
- The current setup was pieced together over the years and nothing talks to each other the right way
- A staff member left and the owner needs a machine wiped, reset, and handed to the next person the right way
Typical work
- Setting up new desktops and laptops on site, moving over files, email, and printer connections so staff can start working the same day
- Building out a fresh office so every workstation shares the same files, printers, and internet the day the doors open
- Replacing aging machines one at a time so the shop keeps running while each person gets moved over
- Standardizing a mixed pile of computers so they all run the same programs and connect to the same shared drive
Typical turnaround
Most single-machine setups are done in a day. A small office of a few workstations usually takes one to a few days depending on how much data moves and how the network is laid out. A full location build-out is planned ahead of time so the work is finished before the doors open.

Common questions
Will I lose my files and email when you set up the new computers?
No. Moving your files, email, and printer connections over is part of the job. We copy everything from the old machine, check that it all opened and works on the new one, and only then do we retire the old computer. Nothing gets wiped until you have confirmed your data is there.
Can you do this at our office instead of us hauling the computers to a shop?
Yes. We do this work on site across the Coastal Bend. Setting up computers at your business lets us wire them into your real network, printers, and shared files, which is hard to test from a bench. Most setups happen right at your desks.
Can you set everything up after hours so it does not stop our work?
Yes, and it is a common request. We can plan the setup for evenings, weekends, or a slow day so your team is not sitting idle. For a location that has to open on a certain date, we schedule the work ahead of time so it is done before you open.
Do you sell the computers, or do we buy them ourselves?
Either way works. We can help you pick machines that fit the work your team actually does, or we can set up computers you already bought. If you buy them yourself, we are happy to tell you what to look for first so you do not end up with something that will feel slow in a year.
We take card payments at the counter. Does the new setup affect that?
It can, so we plan for it. Card payment systems have their own security rules, often called PCI, that ask for the payment side to be kept separate and protected. When your setup touches payments, we keep that in mind and work with your payment provider so the new computers do not put you offside. If your job is mostly the point of sale itself, that is closer to our POS install work.
Can you make all our computers work the same so training new staff is easier?
Yes. Setting every machine up the same way, with the same programs, the same shared drive, and the same printer connections, is one of the main reasons businesses call. When every desk looks and works alike, a new hire can sit down at any station and get going, and fixing one problem usually fixes it everywhere.
What happens to our old computers when the new ones are in?
That is your call and we walk you through it. Once your data is confirmed on the new machines, we can wipe the old drives so none of your business information leaves with the hardware. From there you can keep them as spares, donate them, or recycle them. We do not throw out anything without checking with you first.
Do the new computers connect to our current printers, shared files, and internet?
Yes. Getting the new machines onto your network so they reach the same printers, shared drives, and internet is part of the setup, not an extra step. If your current network is patched together or slow, we will tell you what we see, but connecting to what you already have is included.
