Knight. Serving homeowners and businesses throughout Southern Dallas County and Ellis County, the new location offers professional repair solutions focused on quality craftsmanship, dependable service, and customer satisfaction.

After exploring franchise ownership opportunities, Knight was drawn to PatchMaster’s leadership team, collaborative franchise network, and growth potential within the specialized home-repair industry.
