New construction & retrofit

The technology foundation of your building, done right.

Whether you're building new or upgrading the space you're in, we handle the physical wiring and the IT and security that runs on it, from the first blueprint review to move-in day and beyond.

New construction

Built in before you move in

In new builds, we design and install the complete technology foundation before the building is finished and occupied.

  1. Structured cabling & fiber infrastructureCat6/Cat6A Ethernet, trunk lines, and single-mode and multi-mode fiber run through walls, ceilings and data rooms.
  2. Blueprint & architectural coordinationWe read architectural and electrical plans to coordinate conduit, floor boxes, MDF/IDF room layouts, and power and HVAC needs with your general contractor.
  3. Network & Wi-Fi designCommercial-grade wireless access points, switches, routers and firewalls engineered for the building’s user density.
  4. Physical security & access controlSmart-card and fob readers, electric strikes, intercoms and PoE security camera systems.
  5. AV & communication systemsConference room audio-visual displays, overhead paging and VoIP business phone infrastructure.
  6. Day-one provisioning & testingEvery cable run tested, certified and labeled, with network hardware pre-configured and managed so everything is plug-and-play the day you move in.
Retrofit

Modernize the building you're in

In existing or remodeled buildings, we focus on non-invasive upgrades, modernization, and bridging legacy systems with cloud management.

  1. Legacy cabling audits & replacementWe trace, test and replace outdated Cat5 or coaxial cabling with high-speed Cat6A or fiber backbones.
  2. Non-invasive fishing & routingExisting drop ceilings, core drills or surface raceways let us pull new wire cleanly through finished drywall with minimal demolition.
  3. System modernizationAnalog cameras swapped for high-definition IP cameras, and brass keys upgraded to cloud-managed mobile and fob access control.
  4. Network expansionNew drops for offices and conference rooms, or expanded Wi-Fi coverage, without disrupting your daily operations.
  5. Single-vendor accountabilityBecause we handle both the physical wire and the ongoing IT and security management, there’s no finger-pointing between a cabling vendor and an IT company.

Example scenario

What a 2:00 AM attack looks like

An employee clicks a phishing link on a Saturday night. Here is how each layer responds while your office is closed.

Incident timeline0 / 6
    Email authentication & deliverability

    Make sure your email is trusted, delivered and impossible to fake.

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC prove that email from your domain really came from you. Without them, criminals can send invoices that look like yours, and your real messages land in spam. Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook now require authentication from bulk senders. We set it up, monitor it and manage it for you.

    Free instant check

    Could someone send email as you?

    Enter your domain or work email. We look up your public DNS records and show what a fake email “from you” would do.

    SPF
    Sender Policy Framework

    Lists which servers are allowed to send email for your domain.

    Not checked
    DKIM
    DomainKeys Identified Mail

    Adds a digital signature so receivers know the message wasn't altered.

    Not checked
    DMARC
    Domain-based Message Authentication

    Tells receivers what to do with mail that fails, and sends you reports.

    Not checked
    DMARC policy: where we take you
    1p=noneMonitor and find every sender
    2p=quarantineFakes go to spam
    3p=rejectFakes are blocked
    Spoofing simulatoryourbusiness.com

    Type your domain and press Check. We'll send a pretend fake email “from” you and show what your customer would see.

    SPF, DKIM & DMARC setup

    Correct records for every service that sends as you: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, newsletters, billing and CRM tools.

    DMARC monitoring & reports

    We read the daily DMARC reports, identify every sender using your domain, and alert you to spoofing attempts.

    Email authentication management

    We move you safely from monitoring to full enforcement without blocking legitimate mail, and keep records current as your tools change.

    Spoofing & impersonation protection

    Stop criminals from sending fake invoices and payment requests that appear to come from your domain.

    Email security

    Check Point Complete filtering blocks phishing links, Business Email Compromise and malicious attachments before they reach the inbox.

    Deliverability management

    Keep your messages out of spam folders, watch your sending reputation, and stay compliant with Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook sender requirements.

    Not sure where you stand? We'll review your domain's email authentication and walk you through what needs fixing.

    Penetration testing

    We break in before attackers do.

    A vulnerability scan tells you what might be wrong. A penetration test proves it. Our testers attack your web applications, APIs, cloud environments and networks the way a real adversary would, chain weaknesses together, and show you exactly what they reached and how to close it.

    Web application testing

    Customer portals, booking and payment flows, intranets and SaaS products, tested signed out and signed in at every user role.

    • Authentication, session and MFA bypass
    • Broken access control and privilege escalation
    • Injection, XSS, SSRF and file upload abuse
    • Business logic flaws scanners can't see
    OWASP Top 10OWASP ASVS

    API testing

    REST, GraphQL and mobile app back ends, tested against your documentation and against the endpoints that aren't documented.

    • Object-level authorization (IDOR / BOLA)
    • Mass assignment and excessive data exposure
    • Token, JWT and API key weaknesses
    • Rate limit and abuse testing
    OWASP API Top 10

    Cloud penetration testing

    Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, tested from the outside in and from an assumed-breach foothold.

    • Identity and IAM privilege escalation paths
    • Exposed storage, secrets and keys
    • Misconfigured networks and public services
    • Lateral movement from one account to many

    Internal & external network pentesting

    From the internet in, and from the inside out.

    Autonomous network penetration testing: your external network from the outside, then from the inside your internal network, Active Directory, and the IoT and OT systems sitting on the same wire.

      External network

      Your perimeter inventory, rebuilt from the outside, then tested.

    2. 02 · Foothold

    Continuous exposure management

      Compliance

      Compliance support for regulated businesses.

      Medical offices, accountants and other regulated businesses carry extra responsibility for the data they hold. We help you meet HIPAA and similar requirements with the right security controls, policies and documentation, and we keep them in place as your business changes.

      Cyber insurance readiness

      Get covered, and stay covered.

      Cyber insurers now ask detailed security questions before they quote, and a wrong answer can mean a denied claim. We put the controls in place, document them, and help you answer the application with confidence.

      Are you insurable? Quick self-check

      Application review

      We walk through your insurer's security questionnaire with you so every answer is accurate.

      Google Workspace

      Hardened, managed and backed up.

      Google keeps Gmail and Drive running. Keeping your business's data safe inside them is your job. We lock down your Google Workspace, run the admin console for you, and back up your entire company account so nothing is ever truly lost.

      Google's job

      Keeping the platform up and running

      • Data center uptime and hardware
      • Platform security and patching
      • Service availability for Gmail, Drive and Calendar
      • Redundancy if a Google server fails
      What Google won't doBring back the client folder someone deleted last month, undo a ransomware sync, or rescue the mailbox an ex-employee cleared out before leaving.

      25

      days. That's how long an admin can restore Drive files after a user empties their trash, and it's all-or-nothing by date range. Google Vault keeps records for legal holds, but it can't restore files back to a user.

      Security hardening

      We close the default settings attackers count on and keep them closed.

      • 2-Step Verification enforced, with security keys or passkeys for admins
      • External sharing and link-sharing rules for Drive
      • Third-party app and OAuth access reviewed and restricted
      • Gmail phishing, spoofing and attachment protections
      • Alert center and login monitoring watched for you

      Website design, creation & consulting

      Modern websites don't have to cost thousands.

      We design, build and advise on websites for local businesses, then hand you the keys. No hosting lock-in, no monthly maintenance fees paid to us, and a site you can update yourself.

      You're looking at it

      This modern 2026 website took less than a day's work.

      Everything on this page, from the 3D layer stack and live chat assistant to the security tools and case studies, was built by Hometown Computer Pros in under a day. Scroll anywhere on this page: it's all the proof.

      Real local example

      A website for a local veterinary practice

      $125

      That's what we charged for a clean, modern basic website. No monthly maintenance plan, and the practice isn't locked into our hosting.

      Cost calculator

      What does a website really cost over time?

      Many web companies host your site on their own platform and bill a monthly "maintenance" fee for as long as you have it. Plug in a quote you've received and see where the money goes.

      Typical web company$8,940
      $3,000 build + $5,940 in fees
      Hometown Computer Pros$125
      Basic site from $125, like our vet example · $0/mo to us
      Difference over 5 years$8,815

      Example only, using numbers you enter. Larger sites are quoted up front. With either option you'll still pay for your domain and platform plan; with us, that's paid directly by you and kept in your name.

      Easy to update

      If you can edit a Word document, you can edit your website.

      Today's website platforms work like a document: click, type, publish. Try it on the sample site. Change the headline, bold a word, pick a new color, then hit Publish.
