What common jobs cost.
Estimates are typical residential ranges and assume our standard hourly rate. Because we bill hourly, the final cost depends on how long the job actually takes — it can run higher. A business rate or any active discount may change your price. You'll always get a real quote after diagnosis.

Honest answers about what it'll cost.
Is the first hour really $150?+
Yes. AGOD's standard residential rate is $150 per hour, with a 1-hour minimum. Most common jobs are done in the first hour. A $25 travel fee may apply for locations more than 20 miles from the nearest service area.
What if it takes longer than an hour?+
Billing continues at the same hourly rate. We keep you in the loop on time as the job progresses, so you always know where you stand.
How do business jobs work?+
Business and network jobs are hourly with a recap each quarter. We're not a monthly managed-service contract — just real help when you need it.
Are parts included?+
Parts (replacement drives, RAM, mesh routers, smart-home devices) are billed at cost on top of labor. We'll always tell you the part cost before we order anything.
Do you accept credit cards?+
Yes — credit, debit, ACH, and most digital wallets. Pay on-site when the job's done. No deposits, no contracts.
