My Services
-
I choose devices based on personal testing, value and the quality of reviews. A 5% procurement fee is added to the cost of each device that covers ordering, handling, and disposal of packaging materials.
-
An initial consultation is provided at no cost. A visit to the home in which devices will be installed is highly recommended. Installation times will likely take longer if this step is skipped. A typical home visit takes around 60 minutes or less.
-
Installation is performed by Julie Chahboune. All care is taken when installing devices in your home. If non-permanent solutions are preferred, strong adhesives can be used in lieu of nails or screws. Credit card information may be required for subscription services in order to complete installations.
-
Job aids and videos are provided for most products in addition to the user manuals that come with each product. As an experienced instructional designer and former professor, I am happy to teach you and/or your loved one how to get the most from your new devices.
