Everything outside the truck, covered.

Sherpa Consulting handles the technology and physical security that keeps a contractor or home-service business running — website design, shop and office Wi-Fi, facility security cameras and access control, software setup, and honest technical advice. One point of contact for everything outside the truck, based in Dover, Ohio.

Sherpa Consulting is based in Dover, Ohio, and serves independent contractors and home-service businesses across seven Northeast Ohio counties: Tuscarawas, Holmes, Coshocton, Harrison, Stark, Wayne, and Medina.

No. Ohio exempts low-voltage camera and access-control installation from electrical contractor licensing (ORC 4740.13(D)). Only monitored alarm service with guard response requires separate licensing through the Ohio Department of Public Safety. Sherpa Consulting installs self-monitored systems you control, not monitored alarm service.

Construction and job-site theft costs the U.S. industry an estimated $300 million to $1 billion a year, with average losses around $30,000 per incident and recovery rates under 25%, according to National Insurance Crime Bureau and National Equipment Register data. It's a well-documented risk for contractors who store tools and equipment on-site or in a yard.

For most independent contractors and home-service businesses, yes — one person can handle it. Sherpa Consulting is built to be a single point of contact for your website, Wi-Fi, security, and software, so you're not managing separate vendors or waiting on hold with a call center.

Reach out by phone, text, or the contact form. From there it's a short conversation about where your business is going, an on-site or software review to map out what's needed, a straightforward recommendation with pricing, and then the install and follow-through. No sales pitch, no pressure.
