Houston PC Services prides itself on providing expertly trained consultants while also supplying our clients with affordable pricing. |
 |
We provide our services by appointment and at the customer’s location. Most of the services we provide require us to have a consultant on-site to truly evaluate a customer’s situation. |
 |
Our standard billing rate unless otherwise negotiated is $110/hour/consultant. |
 |
We offer a $80/hour/consultant discounted rate for seniors (must be residential, non-business services and for those 65+ and retired) and those on an active retainer program. Customers must ask about and not assume eligibility for senior rate. |
 |
We offer weekend, evening, and holiday services by appointment only, and we bill at 1.5 times the standard billing rate of $110/hour/consultant for these services. Emergency services, where appointments with other customers are canceled to fit a customer with an emergency into our daily appointment calendar, are billed the same as weekend and holiday services. |
 |
Custom coding starts at a rate of $55/hour/developer and is negotiated on a per-project basis prior to the start of work. The scope, size, and complexity of the project will determine the billing rate and invoicing milestones. |
 |
For most Houston area locations, there are no drive-time charges for a consultant to be sent to your location. We will inform you in advance of any trip charges before your appointment. Drive time in excess of 30 minutes from our office usually results in a drive time charge. |
 |
We bill by the half-hour with a minimum of one billable hour for all in-person appointments. Remote services are also billed in half-hour increments with a minimum of one half billable hour. |
 |
If the service takes longer than the original quoted time, the additional time is on us. Quotes on services are given upon request, and an estimate should not be assumed to be a quote. |
 |
Sales tax is applied to all sales involving parts, repairs, service work, or installations and is not included in any billing rates. |
