On-call tech support, by video or in-home.

“No problem is too small for a proper fix.”

The default entry point when anything is broken, flaky, or confusing. Start with a $40 Remote Rescue, twenty minutes of dedicated senior engineering on video that ends most frustrations before you hang up. Printers, Sonos, Roombas, email on a new phone, slow WiFi, one light that won’t connect. Larger issues get a real quote on the call.

What it covers

  • Remote Rescue. $40 for roughly twenty minutes on video. Most small issues are resolved on the call.
  • In-home visit. When the problem can’t be fixed over video, I come out. Labor only; no drive-out fee.
  • Printers & peripherals. Network print, mobile print, scan-to-email, configured properly.
  • Robot vacuums, mowers, smart appliances. Mapped and configured so they run reliably.
  • Wireless audio. Sonos and similar systems diagnosed; drop-outs resolved.
  • TVs, streamers, accessories. Apple TV, Roku, Fire Stick, paired, configured, working.
  • Anything else on the list. The baby monitor, the garage camera, the one lamp that won’t connect.

Network & security.

Fast, reliable WiFi that just works.

Most dead zones are layout problems, not hardware problems. I survey the house, place access points where coverage actually demands them, hardwire the backhaul, and configure the network properly from the start.

What’s included

  • Site survey. Walk-through of the home to map coverage and plan access-point placement.
  • Cabling to each AP. Hardwired backhaul so the mesh isn’t eating its own bandwidth.
  • Guest & IoT networks. Smart-home devices segmented from your personal network.
  • Parental controls & content filtering. Optional, per-device, easy to manage.
  • Cleanup. Old routers retired, cables dressed, utility closet left tidy.

Private home security, footage stays here.

Most consumer camera systems store footage in the manufacturer’s cloud. I install PoE camera systems that record locally to a drive in your home, no cloud subscriptions, no third-party retention, while still providing phone alerts and remote viewing. Configurations align with the FCC’s 2026 consumer-data rules: your footage, your drive, no carrier-side retention.

What’s included

  • PoE cameras + local NVR. Hardwired, weatherproof, 4K at the front door.
  • 30–90 days of footage. Stored on a drive in your utility room. No monthly fee.
  • Motion alerts. Tuned for people and vehicles, not ambient movement.
  • Two-way audio & remote view. Secure, from anywhere. No cloud.
  • Camera placement walkthrough. Planned together before anything is mounted.
  • FCC 2026 alignment. Local storage, labeled broadband use, documented data residency.

Smart home that actually works.

A well-designed smart home runs on a single platform, not a collection of disconnected apps. I consolidate lights, locks, thermostats, and shades into one system and configure the scenes you’ll actually use day to day.

What’s included

  • One platform. Apple Home, Google Home, or Home Assistant, selected to match how you live.
  • Lights, locks, thermostats, shades. Consolidated under a single app.
  • Scenes & automations. “Goodnight” locks the doors, arms the cameras, and adjusts the thermostat.
  • Reliable voice control. Configured and tested so it works the first time.
  • Household onboarding. Everyone in the home is trained on how to use it.

Home theater & audio, one remote that works.

A theater system that works with a single remote or tap. One press turns on the display, switches the receiver to the correct input, dims the lights, and starts the source, every time.

What’s included

  • Distributed audio. Kitchen, patio, living room, all from one source or separate ones.
  • TV mounting & cable hiding. Inside the wall. No brick visible. No HDMI spaghetti.

Transparent pricing

A proper tradesman’s rate card.

01

$2/min Credited toward project labor

~45 min on site Credited toward project labor
The Credit Rule. Every diagnostic fee, the $40 Remote Rescue or the $75 Project Walkthrough, is credited back, dollar for dollar, toward the labor on any project that follows. The first conversation is never wasted money.
Materials are separate. Equipment is quoted at cost on the written proposal, no markup, no “package” pricing. You pay the labor rate for the work and the parts price for the parts.
Questions

Stuff folks ask before they book.

Don’t see yours? Start with a Remote Rescue and ask, if it’s not something I can help with, you’ll know in the first few minutes and the fee is refunded.

Do you charge a drive-out or diagnostic fee?+
No drive-out fees. The $40 Remote Rescue replaces the traditional diagnostic fee. If I come to your home for paid work afterward, the $40 is credited toward the project.
Who actually does the work, you or a subcontractor?+
Me. Red Cypress Pro is a one-person practice, no subcontractors, no rotating technicians. The engineer on the video call is the same engineer who shows up at your door.
What if I already bought equipment, will you install it?+
Usually yes. On the Remote Rescue I’ll tell you candidly whether the equipment will do what you need. If it won’t, I’d rather say so before anything goes on the wall.
How does the 90-day guarantee work?+
If anything I installed breaks within 90 days, hardware failure, connection issue, scene that stopped working, I come back and fix it at no charge. Parts are included when the failure is workmanship; at cost when it’s a manufacturer defect.
When do you actually show up, on time or in a window?+
Precise start times for digital work. A Remote Rescue jumps on the call exactly at your scheduled time. No “between 1 and 4” for video work.

Professional arrival windows for in-home work. I respect your time. For in-home visits, I provide a 30-minute arrival window to account for Baton Rouge traffic. You’ll get an “On my way” text when I’m 15 minutes out so you’re never guessing.
Do you do ongoing support or monthly contracts?+
Yes, that’s exactly what Concierge Management is. Monthly retainer, priority response, quarterly proactive visit, total stack stewardship. Most single-project clients don’t need it; households that want everything under one number do.
Can you just give me a quote over email?+
Not honestly, no. Every home is different, walls, wiring, existing equipment, how you actually use the space. A Remote Rescue is the fastest path to an accurate number, and most projects have a real quote by the end of the call.
How far outside Baton Rouge do you go?+
I cover East Baton Rouge Parish, St. George, Prairieville, Gonzales, and Central. Outside that area, reach out anyway, if the drive fits the scope, I’ll make it work. If not, I’ll tell you on the call and refund the fee.
What do you not do?+
I don’t handle commercial buildings or apartment-complex wiring. I don’t do solar, HVAC, or work requiring an electrician’s license beyond low-voltage. And I don’t resell equipment I’m not installing.
Ready when you are

Not sure which one you need? That’s what the Remote Rescue is for.

About twenty minutes on video with the engineer. $40, credited toward any work that follows. Quick problems are often resolved on the call; larger projects leave you with a real quote.
