Taking requests · usually replies same day
Tech help from the geek down the street.
Wi-Fi that actually reaches the back bedroom. Smart home gear that talks to each other. A TV on the wall, level. Friendly help from a neighbor who does this for a living.

What I can help with
If it plugs in, connects, or mounts on a wall, ask.
Quick fixes, full setups and the "I don't even know what to call this" stuff. Not sure it fits? Send it anyway.
Smart home
Video doorbells, cameras, thermostats, smart locks and lights, all working together with Alexa, Google or Apple Home.
“Hey Google, why?”Computers & phones
New device setup, slowdowns, backups, moving everything to the new laptop, and the eternal printer standoff.
PRINTER_STATUS: SPITEFULTV & home theater
Wall mounting, soundbars, streaming boxes, and one remote that actually controls everything.

We fix it
I come by, get it working, and show you how it works so you're not stuck next time.
Hi, neighbor!
Who you'll be working with
Hi, I'm Rocco.
For 15+ years I've built and fixed the systems that companies run on: CRMs, integrations, automations, the whole tangle. I'm the person teams call when the tech isn't talking to each other.
Cul-de-Sac Geek is the neighborhood version. Same problem-solving, smaller scale, and nobody has to file a ticket. When you send a request, it comes straight to me. No call center, no upsell, just a neighbor who likes making things work.

What's acting up?
Tell me a little about it and how to reach you. I'll get back to you with questions and a quote. There's no obligation.
- Goes straight to me, not a call center
- A clear quote before any work starts
- Your info stays with me, never sold or shared
Questions
The usual questions
How much does it cost?
It depends on the job, so I'll give you a clear quote after we chat, before any work starts. No surprise bills.
Do I need to buy the gear first?
Not necessarily. If you already have it, great. If not, I'll recommend what's worth buying for your home and budget. I don't mark up or sell equipment.
Is this a real business or just a neighbor?
Both. It's me, Rocco, a local tech pro who wanted a simpler way to help people nearby. You get a professional who also lives around here.
What kind of handyman work do you do?
Small jobs: mounting, shelves, fixtures, simple installs. For big projects like remodels, electrical panels or plumbing, I'll point you to a licensed pro.
Will you really fix my printer?
I will try. Printers and I have an understanding. Most of the time I win.
Can you help remotely?
Often, yes. Some computer and account issues can be handled over a quick video call. I'll tell you which option makes sense.
