IT Support & Computer Repair for Gerritsen Beach, Brooklyn

Gerritsen Beach is one of the few spots in Brooklyn that still feels like an actual small town instead of a subway stop. The peninsula is cut through by a canal, and the houses closest to the water keep their own bulkheads and boat slips instead of a driveway — a layout that traces back to the 1920s and ’30s, when Realty Associates ran up more than 1,500 assembly-line bungalows here for Irish, Swedish, German, and Italian families. The neighborhood has run its own volunteer fire department since 1922 — the last one left in Brooklyn — and that same do-it-ourselves streak still shows in how the shops along Gerritsen Avenue and the families around them look out for one another.

It’s also a neighborhood that knows firsthand what losing power and equipment fast feels like. Hurricane Sandy pushed 10 to 12 feet of water into homes here on October 29, 2012, and the city later placed Gerritsen Beach in flood Zone A — a memory that’s still close for a lot of households and small businesses on the peninsula. For a PC tower, a network closet, or a security DVR sitting on a basement or ground floor, that history is a real reason to have offsite backup and a recovery plan in place, not just a repair call after the water’s already in.

Secure IT Global’s office sits at 3603 Avenue S in Marine Park, a few minutes from Gerritsen Avenue, so a visit to a Gerritsen Beach home or storefront isn’t a special trip — it’s the neighborhood next door. Whether it’s a laptop repair after some salt air got into the keyboard, ongoing small business IT support for a shop along Gerritsen Avenue, or security cameras to watch a boat slip or storefront, we work on-site and can usually get there the same day we’re called.
