Legacy takeover & maintenance

Inherited a custom app nobody maintains? We'll take it over.

Senior engineer in Abbotsford, BC · working across Canada & the US · fast, honest, fixed-price.

A custom app running your business with no one maintaining it is a quiet risk — until the day it breaks and no one knows how it works. We take over legacy and inherited applications: learn how they actually work, stabilize and secure them, document them, and put them on a maintenance footing so they keep serving you instead of becoming an emergency.

What we do

How we help.

Map and document an undocumented codebase

Stabilize and secure it on reliable, low-cost infrastructure

Fix the long-standing bugs everyone's learned to live with

Add the features that were always “someday”

Host and maintain it so it stops being a risk

How it works

Diagnose, fix, maintain.

1

Diagnose

A fixed-fee Rescue Audit: we review the code, hosting, security and who actually owns what, then tell you plainly what's wrong.

2

Fix

A fixed-price quote to stabilize it — reviewed and agreed before any work starts.

3

Maintain

An optional monthly Care Plan so it stays healthy and never gets abandoned again.

Pricing: Legacy takeover & rebuild runs $15,000–40,000; smaller stabilizations start from a Rescue Audit. See full pricing →

Questions

Common questions

It's an old / unusual technology. Can you still help?

Almost always. We're comfortable across many stacks and languages, and reverse-engineering unfamiliar systems is part of the job.

Should we rebuild it instead?

Maybe — we'll give you the honest trade-off with numbers. Often stabilizing what works and rebuilding only the weak parts is the cheaper, safer path.

Can you keep running it for us?

Yes — a Care Plan means it's monitored, backed up, patched and improved, so it never drifts back into “nobody maintains it.”

After the fix

We don't disappear. We keep it running.

Every rescue can end in a monthly Care Plan — hosting, monitoring, backups, patches and ongoing improvements — so your software never becomes the abandoned thing someone else has to rescue.
