Computer Repair & IT Support in Inwood, WV

Home networks for federal commuters, family tech help, and small business IT — serving Berkeley County's fastest-growing community

Skits the Businessman — helping Inwood WV families and commuters

Inwood has changed more in the last decade than most West Virginia towns will change in a lifetime. What used to be a sleepy stop on Route 11 is now Berkeley County's fastest-growing community — new subdivisions north of Tabler Station Road, the Procter & Gamble plant on the I-81 corridor employing hundreds, and an ever-larger population of federal workers who commute to the DC metro or work remotely from home offices that didn't exist five years ago.

From Winchester, Inwood is a straight shot north on I-81 — about 25 to 30 minutes door-to-door depending on which subdivision and which time of day. Most service calls are same-day. Remote support saves the drive when it can; on-site when it can't.

Home Office Security for Federal Commuters

A lot of Inwood now works for the federal government — some commute to DC or Northern Virginia, more and more work remotely full-time. That means a meaningful chunk of Inwood's home networks are doing real work: connecting to government systems, handling sensitive data, running multiple video calls at once, supporting work-issued laptops alongside family devices and smart-home gear.

Most home networks were never designed for that. The router that came free with the cable service is fine for streaming Netflix; it's not what you want sitting between a CBP or VA work laptop and the open internet. Here's what I help with:

Federal-Commuter Home Network Checklist

Work laptop on its own VLAN (isolated from family devices, kids' gaming, smart TVs)
Router firmware current; admin password changed from default
WPA3 or strong WPA2 with a unique password (not your address)
Mesh WiFi in larger homes so the home office gets full signal
Backup internet (cellular failover) for outage-sensitive work
Smart-home devices on a separate "IoT" network — never your work LAN
Family computers running real antivirus, not the trial that expired
Kids' devices set up so a phishing click doesn't sink the household

Family Computer Help in a Fast-Growing Community

Inwood is full of young families — the new construction north of Musselman High School in particular is bringing in people from Northern Virginia and Maryland who wanted more house for the money and didn't realize "moving out a bit" would mean a 90-minute commute. They're settling in, and they're discovering that the kid who used to handle the tech is now in college, and the new house's internet doesn't reach the basement.

New Home Setup

Just moved in? I'll get the WiFi tuned, the printer working, the kids' devices configured, and the smart thermostat connected — in one visit.

Slow Computer Tune-Up

Family PC has gotten unbearably slow? Often a $0-parts software tune-up does the job. I'll tell you honestly when it's the hardware instead.

Scam & Phishing Help

If something feels off — a fake "Microsoft" pop-up, a strange email from "Amazon," a text about a package — call before you click. Free course too.

Small Business IT for Inwood

Inwood's growth is bringing real commercial activity — the storefronts along Route 11, the new offices near Tabler Station, the trades and service businesses that follow population growth. Most of these are too small for an in-house IT person but too dependent on their tech to ignore problems. That's exactly who the managed IT plan is built for: $35 per device per month, 12-month plan, the engineer answers the phone. Most issues get fixed before you notice them.

Skits says: “Crossing the WV line on I-81 is one of my routine drives. Twenty-five minutes north and I'm working on someone's home office in Inwood. Half the calls are remote — I can fix WiFi from Winchester — but when it needs hands, I'm there.”
