Services

What The Techie Guy does

One local IT partner for everything an office runs on, from the help desk to the hardware.

Managed IT support

We take care of your office technology every month for one flat fee: help desk, updates, monitoring and a quarterly review. The outcome is fewer interruptions and a predictable IT bill instead of surprise invoices. Managed IT plans →

Cybersecurity and data protection

Multi-factor sign-in, endpoint protection, patching and tested backups close the doors most attacks on small offices come through. You get a business that can recover from a ransomware hit, a stolen laptop or a hurricane without losing its files. Data protection →

Microsoft 365 and email administration

Mailboxes, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint set up correctly, with the right license for each person. New hires work on day one, and departing employees lose access the same day.

Network, Wi-Fi and IT projects

Firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, cloud migrations and IT planning, billed at $125 per hour for one-time projects. The result is a network that covers the whole office and a clear plan for what to replace and when.

Computer and laptop repair

Diagnosis is free, and repairs start at $99 with a 1 to 5 business-day turnaround depending on the job. Your team gets its equipment back without buying a new machine it doesn't need. Laptop repair · MacBook repair

Data recovery

Recovery from deleted files, failed drives and water or fire damage, starting at $275. It's "no data, no fee": if we can't recover your files, you don't pay. Data recovery →

Equipment procurement and setup

We quote, buy and configure laptops, workstations, network gear and licensed software from HP, Dell, Lenovo, Apple, Cisco and others. Machines arrive ready to use, with accounts, security and backups already in place. Equipment →

Why us

What makes The Techie Guy different

1. Month-to-month terms, no 12-month contract

Every Techie Guy plan is month-to-month, so you stay because the service is good, not because a contract says so. By comparison, Simply IT's own 2026 guide to Florida managed-services agreements lists a 12-month initial term as standard, with auto-renewal unless you give 60 to 90 days' written notice.

2. Published prices: $1,499/month or $125/hour

Our Business plan is $1,499 per month for up to 15 devices (about $100 per device), and one-off support is $125 per hour. Miramar-area providers such as CPT of South Florida, Nerds Support and BCA IT don't list prices on their Miramar pages; you have to request a quote first.

3. You work directly with the founder

When you call, you reach Jose Contreras, the engineer who actually does the work, not a call center or a ticket queue. Larger firms like BCA IT run multiple offices across Doral, Tampa and Orlando; we stay small on purpose so every client gets senior-level attention.

4. 18 years of enterprise systems administration

Jose has spent 18 years running Microsoft 365, Active Directory and corporate networks and supporting executives who can't afford downtime. Small businesses get that same enterprise discipline without an enterprise price.

5. Managed IT and hardware repair under one roof

Most managed IT firms send broken laptops elsewhere, and repair shops like Techy Miramar focus on fixing devices rather than managing your network. We do both, with free diagnosis, repairs from $99 and full support in English or Spanish.

The team behind The Techie Guy

JC

Jose Contreras, Founder

Jose Contreras is a senior systems administrator with 18 years of experience managing Microsoft 365, Active Directory, networking infrastructure and executive IT support. He also owns Smart Laptop Services, an established computer repair and IT company in the Dominican Republic.

How it started: Jose founded The Techie Guy in Miramar in 2026 after seeing how many South Florida small businesses ran on outdated hardware and IT help that only showed up after something broke. The company brings enterprise-grade, proactive IT to offices too small to hire their own IT department.

Team: The Techie Guy is founder-led. Jose personally handles every client account, so the person who answers your call is the person who knows your systems.

  4. Handoff and first review. Your team learns how to reach us, and we walk you through what we found and fixed.
