Honest tech help for Sacramento small business

Real IT Help, By the Hour or By the Job

No monthly contracts. No call centers. Just a local technician who quotes you up front and fixes what's broken.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

If any of these sound like your business, you are not alone — and you do not have to keep living with them.

Slow computers

Machines that take five minutes to boot. Programs that freeze at the worst time. Wasted hours adding up every week.

No one to call when things break

Something goes wrong and you are stuck Googling fixes between customers — or paying a stranger by the hour to maybe figure it out.

Worried about losing data

Years of files, customer info, accounting records — all on one machine, with no real backup. One bad day away from a real problem.

Services

What we handle for you

Everyday tech help, not enterprise managed services. Hourly, project-based, and quoted up front.

Computer help

Slow computers, software issues, virus removal, new device setup. Real fixes, not endless support tickets.

Wi-Fi and basic networking

Router setup, dead-spot troubleshooting, getting your devices to actually stay connected.

Printers and peripherals

Setup, configuration, and the inevitable "why won't it print" troubleshooting.

Email and Microsoft 365

Account setup, mail issues, calendar sync, getting your team set up cleanly.

Backup setup

I'll help you set up automatic backup using Google Drive, OneDrive, or Backblaze. You own the account, you control the data.

General tech advice

Thinking about a new system, software, or upgrade? I'll give you honest advice before you spend money.

Pricing

How pricing works

No contracts. No monthly fees. You pay for the work I do, and I tell you what it costs before I start.

First visit is on me. I'll look at what's bugging you and tell you honestly whether it's something I can help with, what it would cost, and how long it would take. No pressure, no upsell.

Hourly support
$75/hour

For ongoing or open-ended work. One-hour minimum. I track time honestly and stop the clock the moment we're done.

For defined jobs like new computer setup, office Wi-Fi install, or point-of-sale configuration, I'll give you a flat-rate quote before any work starts. You know exactly what it costs. No surprises.

About

Local IT, run by an actual person

SacManaged Tech is run by Ratu Tuisawau — Google IT Support certified, currently studying for CompTIA Network+ and Security+, and enrolled at Sacramento City College in their cybersecurity program.

I started SacManaged Tech because I noticed Sacramento small businesses kept getting stuck between two bad options: pay an enterprise managed services provider hundreds of dollars a month for stuff they don't really use, or Google fixes between customers and hope nothing breaks badly.

I'm a third option. Hourly help when you need it, honest quotes for projects, no contracts. I tell you what I can do and what I can't. When something is outside what I'm qualified for, I'll tell you and point you somewhere good.

What I do well: computer fixes, Wi-Fi and networking basics, email and Microsoft 365, new device setup, software help, honest tech advice.

What I don't do: enterprise security audits, server administration, regulated-industry compliance work, anything that requires a specialist license. I'll tell you up front when something is over my head.
