Right now, IT is somebody’s second job. Usually the owner’s, or the office manager’s.

In the office

  • Email, login and sign-in code problems stopping work
  • Computers and printers acting up at the worst time
  • Every new hire set up a little differently

In the field

  • Crews locked out of the work app on their phone
  • Time entry and photo uploads that won’t go through
  • Sign-in approvals nobody on site can answer

Behind the scenes

  • People who left still have access
  • Domains, subscriptions and passwords scattered across inboxes
  • Backups nobody has tested
  • Tech companies pointing at each other while nothing gets fixed

One contact for your everyday tech.

Help when something breaks, plus the upkeep that heads problems off. Exactly what’s covered depends on your plan and the people and computers in your agreement.

  • Help when something breaks

    Text, email or call from the office or the job site. We troubleshoot remotely, and deal with the provider when the problem is on their side. Included on Managed IT, and $200 an hour otherwise.

  • Computers kept healthy

    Windows and Mac computers monitored, updated and protected on a schedule, on both plans. Phones and tablets get work email and app help on Managed IT.

  • Business email and accounts

    People set up with the right access when they join, changed when their role changes, and removed when they leave. Routine on Managed IT.

  • Protected, backed up and documented

    The same security and backup baseline on both plans, plus a written record of how your systems are set up.

Estimate your Managed IT price

How to count
  • A computer user is someone who needs support for their work on a laptop or desktop, whether they work in the office or on jobsites.
  • Count each person once, as a computer user or a mobile-only team member.
  • A shared computer counts once. Monitors, printers and phones aren’t computers.
  • Phone and app help comes with each person. Full phone management is quoted separately.

How We Work
The person you’ll actually talk to.Justin Grimm, founder of Ghostworx

Founder-led, not a call center.

Justin Grimm runs Ghostworx and handles onboarding and the technical decisions himself. He helped build Projul, construction project-management software, from its start in 2018, and has worked inside a managed IT provider, from help desk to client projects.

Your setup is documented from day one, so as Ghostworx grows, whoever helps you already knows how it works.

  • Your accounts stay in your name, and you pay for your software directly.
  • A short monthly summary of the work actually done.
  • Clear lines between routine support and projects, agreed before work starts.
  • A proper handover if you ever leave: your records transferred and our access removed.
About Justin

Common questions

Is everything done remotely?

Yes. Support is remote, for businesses across the US. On-site visits in the Seattle area, and travel for agreed projects, are quoted separately.

What does it cost?

Essential Care is $299 a month to keep one person’s computer maintained and protected, with technical help at $200 an hour when you need it. Managed IT starts at $699 a month for up to 2 computer users and 2 computers, with routine support included. If you want a clear plan for your business technology, the optional IT Health Check is $1,500 one time and ends with a 12-month plan.

I’m a one-person business. Is this for me?

Yes, if your business runs on email, a computer and job software. Essential Care covers you and one computer for $299 a month, or $399 in total if you add a second person or computer. If you’d rather not commit to a plan yet, on-demand help is $200 an hour.

Do my field crews count toward the price?

Only the people on your support roster. Crew who only need work email, login and app help on a phone are mobile-only team members at $50 a month on Managed IT. Anyone who needs support on a laptop or desktop is a computer user, in the office or on jobsites.

Do I have to buy Microsoft 365 or other software through you?

No. You keep paying for your own subscriptions, phone plans and hardware directly, and everything stays in your name. Our management and security tools are included in your plan.

When is Ghostworx not a good fit?

If you need someone on site every day, constant hardware repairs, or a person answering around the clock, you need a different arrangement. We’ll tell you up front.
