Your Neighbors In Fort Myers

Ruth Tessmer started this business after years of helping her own parents in Cape Coral with their computers, phones and that one remote nobody could figure out. Today our small team visits homes across Lee County. We aren't a big-box service desk. We're the people you call back by name.

Reviews

What Our Neighbors Say

★★★★★
My new laptop sat in the box for a month because I didn't know where to start. They set it up at my kitchen table, moved my photos over and wrote down every step so I could do it again myself. So patient.
Carol B.Retired nurse, Cape Coral
★★★★★
A pop-up said my computer was infected and to call a number. Thank goodness I called Tessmer instead. They checked everything, changed my passwords and showed me how to spot the next one.
Frank D.Homeowner, Estero
★★★★★
The Wi-Fi never reached the lanai and the TV kept asking for passwords. One visit and both were fixed, and they explained the remote so my husband could finally use it too.

Questions

Before You Call

Do you really come to my home?

Yes. Most of our help happens at your kitchen table. We visit homes across Lee County, including Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs and Sanibel, with no trip fee.

How much does in-home computer help cost?

A home visit is $95 for the first hour, then $45 per half hour. Phone or video help is $45 for up to 30 minutes. You'll know the price before we arrive.

Is it worth fixing my old computer?

Sometimes a tune-up makes an older computer feel new again. If it isn't worth fixing, we'll say so, help you choose a new one and move your photos and files across.

What if I forget what you showed me?

That's what the written notes are for. And if you're on the Peace-Of-Mind Plan, you can call as often as you like.

Can my family join the visit?

Of course. Family can join by phone or video, and we're happy to email them a short summary of what we did, with your OK.

How do I know your helper is who they say?

Every helper is background-checked, wears a name badge and calls before arriving. You're always welcome to call our office to confirm.
