Senior Tech Help in Salem, Ohio
Salem is south of my Atwater base, in Columbiana County. I'm Bill — a real local tech, not a corporate help line or an 800 number. I come to your home in Salem by appointment, answer my own phone, drive a marked truck, and never make anyone feel rushed. Most visits are a flat $99.
🪟 Windows 10 didn't die — but your PC may be unprotected. Support ended in 2025; there's a free way to keep it safe through 2027. Don't buy a new computer because a pop-up told you to.

Salem carries a lot of history — founded by Quakers in 1806, an important stop on the Underground Railroad and the western home of the Anti-Slavery Bugle. It's a proud town with plenty of families who've been here for generations, and I love that kind of work. I come to you in Columbiana County and we sort it out together.
I drive a marked truck
You'll see "Bill's Home Tech" on the door. No mystery van, no sketchy plain-clothes contractor.
I come to you
Based in Atwater, I drive south to Salem for scheduled in-home visits — no hauling your computer anywhere.
$99 flat — no surprises
Most Salem visits are one trip. $99 flat for up to about three hours — if it runs a little long, it's still $99.
What I Help With Most in Salem
Here's the kind of thing folks in Salem call me about most:
Internet keeps cutting out
Maybe it's where the router sits, maybe it's an aging modem, maybe it's just the settings. I find the weak link and get you a steady signal in every room — usually in one visit.
New smart TV won't connect to Wi-Fi
The setup screens use tiny text and confusing terms. I'll get Netflix, Hulu, YouTube — whatever you watch — up and running, and write down how the remote works.
Too many streaming bills, and half don't work
Netflix, Prime, a Roku that won't sign in — it adds up and gets confusing. I'll sort out what you're actually paying for, cancel what you don't use, and make the rest just work.
Got a scary call or popup — am I in trouble?
If someone called claiming to be ‘Microsoft,’ the sheriff, Social Security, or your bank, call me before you do anything. I'll tell you in a few minutes whether anything actually happened. No judgment, ever.

Common Questions from Salem Customers
How much will it cost?
$99 flat for most in-home visits — that covers up to about three hours, and if the job runs a little long it's still $99. If something needs a part (a new router, a mesh unit, and so on) I'll quote it up front and you decide. No hidden fees, no by-the-minute charges.
How fast can you get to my house in Salem?
I come to Salem by appointment — usually within the same week. Give me a call and we'll find a time. I'm based up in Atwater and travel down to you.
Do you work with seniors? My parent is in their 80s.
Yes — that's most of what I do. I'm patient, I speak plain English, and I never make anyone feel rushed or dumb. I'll write the steps down so you don't have to remember them. More on senior tech help →
Are you insured?
Yes — Bill's Home Tech is fully insured. I work in a lot of homes and businesses across the area, and that matters to people. I'm happy to send proof of insurance if you ask.
Can my adult kids (in another city or state) pay for the visit?
Yes — this happens a lot. Adult kids who live out of town want to help a parent in Salem but can't drive over themselves. They call me, I make the visit, and they pay over the phone afterward. Set that up here →
