VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (May 1, 2025) — PatchMaster, the leading drywall repair franchise, is excited to announce its expansion into Virginia Beach and Norfolk, Virginia, under the leadership of Rick and Laurie Bruner. The Bruners bring a vibrant combination of professional management, event scheduling, entertainment expertise, and a fresh approach to customer acquisition to the growing PatchMaster network.
Rick Bruner discovered PatchMaster through Franchise Finders Network and was immediately drawn to the opportunity to blend his business skills and passion for exceptional customer service into a thriving home services business. With a strong commitment to building a customer base and creating lasting relationships, the Bruners are ready to bring PatchMaster’s signature speed, professionalism, and quality to homes and businesses throughout the region.
“Customer service is alive and well with PatchMaster in Virginia Beach,” said Rick Bruner. “We’re excited to serve our community with reliable drywall repair services—and have a little fun along the way. Give us a call so we can fix your wall!”
As an active family with twin 8-year-old boys and a 14-year-old daughter, the Bruners know firsthand the importance of quick, seamless drywall repairs. Their own family adventures have occasionally led to a few dents and dings at home—making them passionate about delivering fast, friendly service to families and businesses alike.
The Bruners’ franchise is also a woman-owned and led business, with Laurie Bruner playing an integral role in operations and team development. Together, they are committed to providing exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding customer care, and a welcoming work environment for their growing team.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Rick and Laurie Bruner to the PatchMaster family,” said Paul Ferrara, CEO of PatchMaster. “Their fresh energy, customer-first mindset, and drive to build a strong community presence make them a fantastic addition to our network. We’re excited to see them succeed in Virginia Beach and Norfolk.”
