If you need a house call, Matt or one of his technicians will do it.

"I do make limited house calls now," Walz said."I schedule those once every two weeks, but you have to make an appointment."

However, he plans to expand that service.

"We are currently having growing pain struggles," he said."We are planning to hire more technicians and make sure those technicians uphold the same standards I uphold.

Matt said something he expects to do this year is to provide computer classes.

"We are looking at opening a class once week that's two hours long," he said."We would charge $20 per person and limit the class to 10 people.It would basically be a discussion class where they will ask me questions.Everybody will get a topic, and we will cover that topic or until two hours are up."
