Piacente brings over 25 years of experience in B2B and B2C sales, as well as a decade of leading global talent acquisition teams. Known for his ability to drive growth, lead high-performing teams, and streamline operations, Piacente is now combining that strategic business background with his hands-on experience in light construction, including drywall repair, painting, and finish carpentry.

“Throughout my career, I’ve focused on delivering results, leading with integrity, and building strong relationships,” said Piacente. “PatchMaster allows me to blend my love for home improvement with my background in business development, customer service, and leadership. I’m excited to deliver high-quality craftsmanship and a reliable service experience to my community.”

Piacente discovered PatchMaster through a franchise broker and was impressed by the brand’s professionalism, collaborative culture, and established support system. Conversations with existing franchise owners reinforced his decision to join a network where entrepreneurial freedom is encouraged and peer support is the standard.

In his role as franchise owner, Piacente will be actively involved in day-to-day operations, ensuring exceptional service and creating a positive environment for both customers and employees. His goal is to build a trusted local brand known for quality, integrity, and community connection.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Joe Piacente to the PatchMaster family,” said Paul Ferrara, CEO of PatchMaster. “His unique combination of business acumen, construction expertise, and people-first leadership makes him an ideal fit for our brand. We look forward to watching him thrive and make a meaningful impact in the communities he serves.”
