Remote support first. On-site when needed.
01
Tell me what is going on
A short note is enough: the device, the symptom, and whether you would rather do this remote or in person.
02
Remote support first, when it will work
A lot of software problems never need an on-site visit. I connect, fix it, and you watch if you want.
03
Or I come to you
On-site help within about 45 minutes of Midland, from Penetanguishene, Tiny and Tay to Barrie, Orillia and Wasaga Beach. You pick the spot: kitchen table, home office or cottage. I bring the patience.
About
Thirty years in tech. Twenty-seven of them running Barrie Web.
Georgian College, Computers Dot Com, then Barrie Web. TechBrent is the hands-on chapter: software, setup, PCs, Macs, phones, tablets and Wi-Fi, from the pile of boxes in the living room to monthly IT care and AI automation for small offices. You still get the person who owns the business.

Do you come to Barrie?
Yes. Barrie is within my on-site area, and remote sessions work there too, often the quicker option.
Do you repair hardware?
No. TechBrent is software only, so no hardware repairs like screens, batteries or circuit boards, and no wiring or security cameras. If it's a hardware problem, I'll figure out what's wrong and point you to a reputable local shop.
Can you help remotely, or do you come to me?
Both. A lot of software problems can be fixed over a remote session while you watch. When it needs a visit, I come to your home, office, or cottage.
