Dynamic Duo Brings Financial Expertise and Passion for Community Service to Leading Drywall Repair Franchise
AUSTIN, TX (September 2, 2024) – PatchMaster, the nation’s premier drywall repair franchise, is thrilled to announce its latest expansion into South Austin, TX, under the ownership of Hamish and Melanie Pellew. With a combined background in finance and sales, the Pellews are eager to leverage their business acumen to deliver exceptional service and grow a successful enterprise in their community.
“We are very excited by the opportunity to own our own business with PatchMaster,” said Hamish Pellew. “The franchise model offers us the tools and support we need to succeed, and we’re looking forward to helping our neighbors in South Austin with their drywall repair needs. Our goal is to build a service we can be proud of, one that leaves every customer satisfied.”
Melanie Pellew, who leads the franchise as a woman-owned and operated business, is equally enthusiastic about the new venture. “For us, this business is about more than just drywall repair. It’s about creating freedom for ourselves, building a financial foundation for our children, and having the chance to work together as a team. We’re passionate about delivering quality service and making a positive impact in our community.”
The Pellews were initially contacted by a franchise recruiter, and after learning more about PatchMaster, they recognized the opportunity to pair their expertise with a proven business model. They are particularly excited about the potential to expand their business across multiple territories, offering top-notch service while fostering long-lasting relationships within the South Austin community.
Outside of their professional lives, Hamish and Melanie enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, and exploring nature. As new parents, they value the balance between work and family life that owning a franchise allows. The couple is also passionate about good food—both cooking and eating—and is deeply committed to building a business that supports their dreams and their family’s future.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Hamish and Melanie to the PatchMaster family,” said Paul Ferrara, CEO of PatchMaster. “Their strong financial background and commitment to their community make them ideal franchise owners. We are confident that they will deliver the high standards of service that PatchMaster is known for, and we look forward to watching them grow their business throughout the South Austin community.”
