Construction industry veteran Michael Bilger brings 20+ years of architecture and project management experience to drywall repair and interior painting services
GRAND JUNCTION, CO (September 1, 2026)—PatchMaster®, the nation’s leading drywall repair and interior painting franchise, announced today the opening of PatchMaster Grand Junction, owned and operated by Michael Bilger. The locally owned business provides drywall repair, ceiling repair, drywall installation, texture matching, and interior painting services for homeowners and businesses throughout Colorado’s Western Slope, including Grand Junction and the Grand Valley, Rifle, New Castle, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, Aspen, Crested Butte, Gunnison, Montrose, Delta, Telluride, and Ouray, as well as Moab, Utah. From repairing small holes and nail pops to restoring walls and ceilings damaged by water leaks, plumbing work, remodeling projects, and everyday wear and tear, PatchMaster specializes in seamless repairs that restore surfaces to like-new condition.
“I’ve been in and around construction for most of my life, so I understand not only how buildings are put together, but how important it is to get the work done correctly, on time, and with the customer in mind,” said Bilger. “I grew up in the Grand Valley and know this area well. My goal is to become the trusted drywall repair company people throughout the Western Slope know they can call when they need a problem fixed.”
Bilger discovered PatchMaster through a franchise consultant while exploring opportunities to build his own business. He was drawn to the company’s specialized service model, manageable startup investment, and potential for long-term growth. With his construction background and familiarity with the region, Bilger saw an opportunity to combine his professional experience with a service homeowners and businesses consistently need.
Homeowners commonly contact PatchMaster after plumbing repairs, electrical work, HVAC installations, water leaks, home renovations, moving furniture, and everyday wear and tear have damaged walls or ceilings. Whether customers need drywall repair in Grand Junction or service elsewhere across Colorado’s Western Slope, PatchMaster focuses exclusively on repairing and restoring damaged walls and ceilings. Unlike general contractors or handymen, PatchMaster technicians specialize in a single craft, delivering seamless repairs that blend naturally with existing surfaces. Services include repairing holes, cracks, water-damaged drywall, textured walls and ceilings, and drywall damaged during plumbing, electrical, and remodeling projects.
“Michael understands construction from both the technical and customer sides of the business, and that’s a powerful combination,” said Paul Ferrara, President and CEO of PatchMaster. “His years of experience managing projects, solving problems, and delivering work to a high standard position him well to build PatchMaster into a trusted resource for homeowners and businesses throughout Western Colorado.”
As an owner-operator, Bilger is directly involved in day-to-day operations and focused on establishing PatchMaster as the go-to resource for drywall repair throughout the Western Slope. His connection to the community extends beyond his business through his involvement with BNI and the Redlands Lions Club.
