PATCHMASTER
PatchMaster Franchise, LLC offers franchises for businesses providing drywall and other wall surface repair services, including plaster, stucco, concrete, trim repairs, and painting, to residential and commercial customers under the PatchMaster® brand. Franchisees operate using proprietary systems, standards, and marks, targeting homeowners, commercial facilities, and tradespeople like plumbers, electricians, and restoration providers who damage walls during their work. The business model involves granting exclusive licensed service areas (LSAs) for marketing and operations, with initial investments ranging from $122,950 to $242,450 depending on the number of areas.
Franchise Costs
Tiered royalty starting at 9% of gross revenue down to 5% (or minimum $400/mo year 1, $500/mo year 2, $600/mo thereafter per LSA) + 1% brand fund + $300/mo technology fee.
Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Financial performance data is based on 39 reporting PatchMaster franchisees for Gross Revenue for the calendar year ended December 31, 2024. A subset of 21 reporting PatchMaster franchisees provided Gross Profit and expense data for the same period.
* The average gross revenue for 'All Franchisees' of $330,653 was directly extracted from Table 1. This value was verified by calculating a weighted average from the three tertiles: (13 units × $605,109 + 13 units × $255,792 + 13 units × $131,059) / 39 total units = $330,653. Gross Profit is explicitly defined on page 2 as excluding various operating expenses (e.g., royalties, marketing, technology fees, automotive, office, professional fees). Since no data or estimates for these excluded operating expenses are provided, 'Net Profit', 'Net Income', 'EBITDA', and a reliable estimated profit range cannot be calculated.
