Why clients choose Straight Shooter IT
Clear approvals
We outline the initial scope and pricing before repair work begins, and onsite diagnosis visits can include a trip or diagnostic charge even if you decide not to proceed.
Real onsite help
We come to your home or workplace when the issue needs hands-on troubleshooting, setup, repair, or cleanup.
No package pressure
If you need a simple fix, we treat it like a simple fix. If you need a larger plan, we explain why without padding the recommendation.
Work backed by experience
Commercial environments and residential projects behave differently. Experience in both helps us get to the point faster and recommend the right next step.
Services
Straightforward help for the problems people actually call about.
These are the core areas we support most often. If your issue does not fit perfectly into one box, reach out anyway. We will tell you directly whether it is something we handle.
IT Consulting
Planning, guidance, second opinions, and practical recommendations without turning every conversation into a proposal.
Desktop Support
Slow machines, crashes, software issues, odd behavior, updates gone wrong, and day-to-day workstation troubleshooting.
Virus and Malware Removal
Cleanup, recovery, and practical next steps when a device has been compromised or is showing warning signs.
Hardware and Software
Repairs, installs, upgrades, replacements, setup, and configuration for the tools your home or business relies on.
Data Recovery
Lost files, failed drives, and accidental deletions, with honest guidance about what is likely recoverable before you commit.
Network Setup and Support
Wi-Fi issues, network cleanup, new installs, device connectivity, and practical security-minded configuration.
Microsoft 365 and Cloud
Setup, migration, support, and troubleshooting for Microsoft 365, OneDrive, email, and related cloud tools.
Printers and Peripherals
Driver issues, network printers, stubborn accessories, and the annoying edge-case hardware that everyone else avoids.
Process
A cleaner service flow from first call to finished fix.
You do not need a drawn-out sales conversation to get IT support. Here is the general process we use so expectations stay clear on both sides.
Reach out
Tell us what is happening, what device or environment is affected, and how urgent it is.
Get a straight assessment
We narrow down the issue, explain what we think is going on, and outline the likely path forward.
Approve the work
You see the initial scope, pricing, and any applicable trip charge before repair work starts.
Fix it and follow through
We complete the approved work, explain the result, and update you before moving beyond the original scope.
Onsite diagnosis
Travel time and inspection visits are real work.
If a technician needs to come onsite to diagnose an issue, a trip or diagnostic fee may apply even if you decide not to move forward with the repair afterward.
Scope changes
Some jobs grow once the real issue is uncovered.
If troubleshooting reveals additional work beyond the original scope, we stop, explain what changed, and get your approval before continuing.
Built around clear communication
About
Built for people who want honest help, not a harder conversation.
Straight Shooter IT exists because too much tech support still feels vague, overcomplicated, or sales-driven. The goal here is simpler: diagnose the actual issue, explain it in plain language, recommend only what is necessary, and do the work well.
That approach works for homeowners who just need their systems back online and for business owners who need reliable help without being pushed into something larger than the moment requires.
Residential Support
Home computers, printers, Wi-Fi, malware cleanup, backups, and device setup for people who want practical help without the jargon.
Commercial Support
Small office networks, workstations, Microsoft 365, user issues, and onsite troubleshooting for businesses that need things handled efficiently.
