What local customers say about working with Tidewater Home Tech.

Charlie

“Steve came to my house and installed new RAM into my laptop that made it so much quicker to edit my videos! He was extremely professional, courteous and even explained how everything worked when I asked. I will certainly call Steve again for any tech issues I have.”

Maureen

“Steve installed and setup my new wireless router at home. He was very personable and got everything working quickly. 5 star customer service.”

Jasmine

“I called Tidewater Home Tech when I needed help fixing my broken tablet. While unfortunately that device was damaged beyond repair, I called many more times to help with various other computer issues I’ve had. All were taken care of immediately and Steve even taught me how to fix them myself if they happen again!”
