One-time IT projects and technology advice
Do you work with home users?Yes. We support home users and home offices with practical, easy-to-understand solutions.
Including Gaming, home projects (servers, NAS), remote work, and home businesses.
Do you provide hardware sales?We may recommend products and tools through our Amazon affiliate page but generally do not resell hardware directly.
How is pricing structured?Pricing is project-based or hourly, depending on the scope. You’ll always receive clarity before work begins.
What areas do you serve?Primarily the Inland Empire, Southern California. Such as Ranch Cucamonga, Ontario, Chino, Claremont, Fontana, Eastvale, and Corona for a few areas to mention.
What if a project starts small but turns into something larger—or ends up not being needed at all?
That’s completely okay and more common than you might expect. Some requests start as a small task and uncover a larger opportunity, while others are resolved quickly once the situation is better understood.
We approach each engagement with flexibility. If the scope changes, we’ll discuss next steps, options, and any impact to pricing or scheduling before moving forward. If it turns out no additional work is needed, we’ll let you know—our goal is to provide honest guidance and recommend only what truly makes sense for your situation.
Do you offer free consultations?Yes — a brief consultation to understand your needs is typically free.
Do you keep my login information?No. Credentials are not stored once a project is completed. We walk you through how to securely reset any passwords or disable any temporary accounts.
Do you offer consulting and planning services only?Yes. We offer consulting and planning services for individuals and businesses that need guidance without hands-on implementation. This can include technology assessments, project planning, and advice on what hardware, software, or services to purchase based on your needs and budget.
We can also assist with vendor recommendations, product selection, and architecture planning, helping you make informed decisions before you buy or deploy anything.
Why did you start Loud Tech Labs?Loud Tech Labs was started to help people who don’t need full-time IT support but still need reliable, knowledgeable guidance. Many people are fairly tech-savvy and just need help with a few specific things, while others have no idea where to start at all. That’s where we come in.
We’ve spent years building deep experience across a wide range of technologies and saw a gap between do-it-yourself solutions and expensive, long-term IT contracts. We wanted to provide practical, honest support for individuals, home offices, and small businesses—including those just getting started or those limited by existing IT agreements that don’t cover specialized needs.
This also allows us to put that experience to work in a more personal way, while supporting our growing family and caring for our newborn. It’s about helping people make confident technology decisions and doing so in a way that’s thoughtful, approachable, and grounded in real-world experience.
What payment methods do you accept?At this time, since we are small shop, we accept cash, Venmo, and Zelle for payment. Additional payment options may be added in the future as we continue to expand our services. If a different payment method is required, we’re happy to discuss options on a case-by-case basis.
Do you offer ongoing support after a project is completed?Limited follow-up support may be provided depending on the project.
Do you offer onsite or remote services?The initial contact is typically remote, such as a phone call or Zoom meeting, to discuss your needs and gather background information. After the initial contact, services are most often conducted onsite to verify requirements, review the environment, and ensure recommendations are accurate.
In many cases, meeting in person and seeing the setup firsthand makes the process easier for everyone, provides better customer service, and helps establish a strong working relationship. Depending on the project, some tasks may still be completed remotely, but most work is performed onsite once the engagement moves forward.
