Computer Upgrades for homes in North Shore

Housing ranges from Devonport villas and bungalows to Takapuna apartments, cliff-top homes in Milford and family homes across Glenfield, Birkenhead and Northcote. Many older homes have been extended over the years, leaving rooms the router simply does not reach. Sloping sites also mean garages, sleepouts and decks that need their own coverage.

Visiting sites in North Shore

Takapuna and Smales Farm parking is mostly paid or limited, so a visitor park helps. Wairau Valley units usually have parking out front. Devonport streets are narrow and busy on weekends. Steep driveways and rear sections are common across the Shore, so clear directions are useful.

We work right across the area, including:
