Husband-and-Wife Team Joins PatchMaster, Offering Reliable Drywall Repair Services in Pensacola, Milton, and Coastal Alabama
PENSACOLA, FL (January 16, 2025) – PatchMaster, a leading provider of professional drywall repair services, announced today the opening of its newest franchise, marking an expansion into Florida and Alabama. This new franchise will serve communities in Pensacola and Milton, FL, as well as Fairhope, Daphne, Foley, Spanish Fort, and Robertsdale, AL.
The franchise is led by Russell and Charity Sheldt, a husband-and-wife team with extensive experience in management, scheduling, and customer service. Charity, a teacher, and Russell, a pharmacist, bring complementary skill sets to their new venture. Their decision to join PatchMaster was fueled by a shared entrepreneurial spirit and the desire to create a sustainable business that allows Charity to transition away from teaching.
“Our goal is to build a successful business that supports our family and gives us the freedom to focus on what matters most,” said Russell Sheldt. “PatchMaster’s proven model and reputation made it the perfect fit for this.”
The Sheldts were introduced to PatchMaster through franchise research and a broker. Their commitment to excellent service, attention to detail, and teamwork align with the company’s mission to provide seamless and professional drywall repairs to homeowners and businesses.
“Russell and Charity exemplify the qualities we look for in our franchise owners—dedication, strong communication skills, and a passion for helping others,” said Paul Ferrara, CEO, PatchMaster. “We’re thrilled to welcome them to the PatchMaster family and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have in Florida and Alabama.”
In addition to growing their business, the Sheldt’s prioritize spending quality time with their family and dogs. Charity’s vision of stepping away from teaching is a key driver behind their commitment to building a thriving enterprise.
The new PatchMaster franchise specializes in drywall repairs of all sizes, from small holes to larger damage caused by plumbing, electrical work, or everyday wear and tear. Their efficient, customer-focused approach ensures seamless repairs that blend with the existing structure, delivered promptly and professionally.
