Fixed price: $400
Household Technology Summary
One number to call. One person who knows your house.
In your home, or remotely
Visits are by appointment. Plenty of problems can be solved remotely, and remote help is sometimes available the same day.
We keep track, so you don't have to
Over time we keep a record of your equipment, settings, quirks and vendors. Each call picks up where the last one left off.
We deal with the other companies
If the fix belongs to Spectrum, your AV installer, the alarm company, an electrician or a manufacturer, we explain the problem, arrange the handoff and stay involved.
Anything in the house with a plug, a password or a remote.
You don't need to know what's wrong, or which kind of specialist you need. Tell us what's happening and we'll work out the rest.
- The living room
- Televisions, sound systems and streaming boxes, and making sense of all the remotes.
- The home office
- Computers, printers and scanners. Setup, slowdowns, backups and the occasional mystery.
- Every room
- Wi-Fi and home networking, including the corners of the house it never quite reaches.
- The smart home
- Thermostats, doorbells, cameras, locks and speakers that should work together and sometimes don't.
- Phones and tablets
- Apps, accounts and passwords. Setting up a new device and moving everything over.
- Before you buy
- Straight advice on what to buy, or whether you need anything at all. Setup when it arrives.
- Everything else
- The email that looks wrong. The setting that changed by itself. The question you've been meaning to ask someone.
Pricing and hours
One person, during the working week, who takes ownership of the problem until it's sorted.

Who you'll work with
Jordan Hewitt
Founder. When you call or text Hewitt, you reach Jordan, and Jordan is the one who takes care of it.
For years I've been the person family and friends call when technology stops working, gets confusing, or simply needs to be handled. Hewitt Private Technology is that same help, offered to your household.
I grew up in Palos Verdes, and my parents still live on the Peninsula. I have a computer science degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and have spent my career building software. What I enjoy most is understanding the whole system, finding the real problem, and leaving things simpler than I found them.
Where we work
Palos Verdes and the South Bay
Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates, plus Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Torrance.
Also: West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods.
