5 Reasons to Invest in Speedy Patch Drywall Repair

Speedy Patch Drywall Repair started as a father-and-son operation in Columbus, Ohio, and has since grown into a burgeoning home service franchise. The repair company has three units currently open, and a dozen more are expected to begin operations before the close of this year. Its quickly growing footprint in the Midwest shows the promise that drywall service concepts have in today's market.

“We want to create craftsmen and give people an opportunity to open their own business, learn a new trade and have a sense of independence to live the life they want,” said Christian Cagle, Speedy Patch’s CEO and co-founder. “We have seen firsthand how well this model works and are excited to introduce it to interested parties.”

From a booming market with plenty of whitespace to the dedicated support of the Speedy Patch Drywall Repair team, there are a number of reasons why this brand is an attractive one to become a part of right now.

The home services industry is valued at $506 billion, according to Angi research. With more and more people at home since the pandemic, the repair, maintenance and remodeling sectors have seen a big increase in demand. Spending more time inside their properties has led to people prioritizing tasks around the house, such as drywall repair.

Another reason why these services are so popular has to do with the housing market. “Homeownership rates have never been higher, but the number of people buying homes is decreasing. People have to maintain their home value as prices and interest rates are higher, so demand is high for our services,” explained Cagle.

As an emerging franchise, Speedy Patch Drywall Repair has wide open white space for new owners to choose from. To have the best selection of where you’d like to open up a business, it’s smart to get in on the ground level with the brand.

The company is seeking to first expand in metro areas like Cleveland, Akron and Dayton. “Our headquarters is in Columbus, so by expanding first throughout other cities in Ohio, we can ensure the best and most direct support and resources for our owners,” said Cagle.

As a smaller, emerging business, the franchisor will always be readily available to help out new owners. The corporate staff at Speedy Patch Drywall Repair, which is in nearby Columbus, is there for franchisees for all kinds of issues, from operational advice to technical support.

“We’re not interested in signing franchise deals and then just letting the owners sink or swim; we work very closely with our franchise owners to ensure their success,” Cagle noted.

The initial investment for owning a Speedy Patch Drywall Repair franchise is very attractive, with a low price point. Start-up costs are $51,000 to $66,750, with the brand’s operating model designed specifically to save owners money and offer a large return on investment.

The brand also keeps ongoing costs and overhead low. While most drywall repair companies take several visits to finish a job, Speedy Patch will get it done in back-to-back visits. These savings are then passed down to customers as well.

Cagle added that Speedy Patch is prepared to grow rapidly and invites interested parties in the Midwest to contact the brand for further information.

Speedy Patch was founded by father-and-son team Christian and Evan Cagle in 2018. It was formed out of the need to serve next-door neighbors repair requests to fix damaged wall and ceiling drywall. Services not only include topical repairs and texture matching but also backsplash repairs, basement flooding repairs and garage deterioration. Speedy Patch currently has locations in the Midwest and recently launched its franchise opportunity in an effort to expand its offerings nationwide. For more information, visit
