| These are difficult to price without seeing the problem first hand. Typically, it will take less than an hour ($80) if it's something I can fix. The best way to do this is to have me come over and look at the problem (no charge), and go from there. I guarantee your satisfaction, so if I don't solve the problem, you don't pay. |
