FRANKLIN LAKES,NJ (August 3, 2026)—PatchMaster®, the nation’s leading drywall repair and interior painting franchise, announced today the opening of PatchMaster Passaic & West Bergen, owned and operated by Eric Lopez. The new locally owned business provides drywall repair, plaster repair, ceiling repair, drywall installation, texture matching, and interior painting services for homeowners and businesses throughout West Bergen, Passaic County, and surrounding communities. 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.

Lopez brings a background in aircraft maintenance, where precision, attention to detail, communication, and problem-solving are essential every day. His experience diagnosing complex mechanical issues and working to exacting standards has prepared him to deliver the same level of care and craftsmanship homeowners expect when repairing damaged walls and ceilings.

After researching a variety of business opportunities, Lopez discovered PatchMaster while searching for a business that aligned with his entrepreneurial goals. Following extensive due diligence, he chose PatchMaster for its proven business model, specialized service offering, and opportunity to build a business focused on quality workmanship and long-term customer relationships.

“My goal is to build a business that customers can depend on,” said Lopez. “Every repair is an opportunity to earn someone’s trust. I take pride in solving problems, paying attention to the details, and making sure every customer has a great experience from start to finish.”

Whether homeowners need West Bergen drywall repair or drywall repair throughout Passaic County, PatchMaster focuses exclusively on repairing and restoring damaged walls and ceilings. Unlike general contractors or handymen, PatchMaster technicians specialize in one craft, consistently delivering seamless repairs that blend naturally with existing walls and ceilings. Services include repairing holes, cracks, popcorn ceilings, water-damaged drywall, texture matching, and drywall damaged during plumbing, electrical, and remodeling projects.
