Your Local Nerd in Durant
Durant, Calera, Colbert, Caddo, Bokchito, Madill, Kingston and around Lake Texoma. A Local Nerd comes to your door, or helps remotely the same day.
Pick a time, we come to your door, and you agree to the rate before we start. Remote help works too when that's faster.
In person from $110/hr. $39 books it, and the rest is charged when the work is done. Remote help $39 for 30 minutes. Card only, no cash or checks. You agree to the rate before we start.
If it plugs in and nobody can figure it out, we can help.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
Wi-Fi that reaches the whole house
Dead spots, a router in the wrong place, a network nobody can get onto. We fix the coverage first, before anybody tells you to buy faster internet.
TVs, streaming and “where did my channel go”
Getting a new TV going, tidying up the apps, and making the remote situation sane again. Then we show you the three buttons you need.
Computers that have gotten slow or strange
Slow, cluttered, full of things you didn't install. We'll clean it up, get it current, and set up a backup that runs on its own.
Learning it at your own pace
If you want to understand it well enough to do it yourself next time, tell us when you book. That's our favorite kind of visit.
Phones and tablets, set up your way
New phone and everything is in the wrong place. We move it all across, sort the photos out, and make it readable again.
Doorbells, cameras and smart home gear
Cameras you can pull up when you need them, a doorbell that rings the right phone, a thermostat that keeps its schedule. We set it up and explain it once.
Printers that won't print
Wireless printers are badly designed, and it isn't your fault. We'll get it printing and scanning and leave it that way.
Scams, pop-ups and “is this email real?”
Pop-ups, fake warnings, emails that want you to click. We'll clear it out and show you what to look for so the next one doesn't get you.
What tech help looks like around here.
Lake Texoma changes what this area needs. A lake house that sits empty half the month needs internet that stays up with nobody there to reboot it, cameras that work from three hours away, and a TV setup guests can figure out. In town, Durant is growing fast, and a new house needs its internet, TV and doorbell set up right the first time.
Patient, unhurried help, especially for the 55+ crowd.
Texoma has a big retirement population on both sides of the river, and a lot of them are the family tech support for everyone else. If that's you, we're happy to be the person you call instead.

Do you make house calls in Durant?
Yes. A Local Nerd in the Durant area makes house calls across Texoma, and you see the rate for your address before you book. Remote help works too.
How much does tech help cost in Durant?
Remote help is $39 for a 30-minute session. In-person visits are $110 an hour within 25 miles of downtown Durant, $130 in the 25 to 50 mile band and $145 from 50 to 75 miles, and the higher rate is how we pay for the drive. A $39 deposit books an in-person visit and the rest is charged after your Local Nerd finishes and you sign off on the work.

Do you help older adults in Durant with technology?
Yes. One-on-one help for older adults is work we like. We go at your pace, and we'll write the steps down for you to keep.
Do you fix broken devices, or just set things up?
We do. Most of what people call broken is a setting, an update, an account or a connection, and we fix those. Screens, batteries, parts and data recovery from a failed drive are somebody else's job, and we'll tell you that up front.
