Dave Butler

I have dealt with most other tech companies in this area; some were terrible; others were good. When I was finally introduced to Waterfront Computer Co./Compu-Clone Solutions and the staff, I was amazed at the difference. I recommend this company and staff above all others, hands down.

Allister Moore

Shortly after moving here from Toronto my computer crashed and a friend referred me to Waterfront Computer . I was very glad he did as Glen was not only able to fix the problem but he went on to correct coding errors with my website and a number of other glitches that came up. If you have any issues with your computer don’t hesitate to contact him.

John Fraser

I had my computer assembled there, and the staff were very friendly. My computer is running great now. It was a very pleasant experience.

Waterfront computers really helped me immensely with my problem. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for all your computer needs. I will definitely go with them for any computer needs I have.

Elvio Scopel

Glen and Noah were great to deal with while I was getting my laptop fixed! When I had an issue with the screen not turning on, they were happy to take a look at it. If I ever need more services done I will be going back to Waterfront Computers
