IT services for contractors and trades in Chicagoland
Practical, fixed-price IT projects for Chicagoland contractors & trades.
Contractors and trades firms live on phones, job photos, shared estimates, and QuickBooks. When office WiFi is slow or email sits on old hosting, field crews feel it first.
Owners often need a website that generates calls, simple quoting automation, and secure access to files without handing every sub the same password.
Jack Creager Tech Services helps Chicagoland trades businesses tighten email, networks, backups, and the tools that keep estimates and invoices moving.
Top 5 things we fix
- Reliable office WiFi and guest separation for vendors
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace with MFA
- Phone-friendly file sharing for job photos and plans
- Backups that protect QuickBooks and shared drives
- Website and Google Business Profile that earn calls
Compliance and insurance note
If you handle customer payment data or bid on larger commercial work, insurers and general contractors may ask about MFA, backups, and endpoint protection. Requirements vary; we help with the technical controls.
