PatchMaster Expands Illinois Footprint with Opening of Chicago's Southwest Suburbs Franchise

Experienced Entrepreneur and Franchise Executive Jason Stafford Brings the Brand’s Third Location to the State

NAPERVILLE, IL, UNITED STATES, March 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- PatchMaster^®, the nation’s leading drywall repair and professional paint finishing franchise, announced the opening of PatchMaster Chicago’s Southwest Suburbs, its third location in Illinois. The new franchise is owned and operated by Jason Stafford, an accomplished entrepreneur with extensive experience in both independent business ownership and multi-unit franchise operations.

PatchMaster Chicago’s Southwest Suburbs will serve communities including Aurora, Naperville, Plainfield, Romeoville, Bolingbrook, and Downers Grove, providing professional drywall repair, ceiling restoration, and interior painting services to residential and commercial customers.

Stafford brings a well-rounded professional background to the PatchMaster system, having served as managing partner of Babyland^® & Babyland Online^®, a juvenile goods retailer, and as a Franchise Group Director with Two Men and a Truck^®, where he gained extensive experience in operations leadership, strategic planning, and scaling franchise organizations.

“My experience as an independent small business owner gave me a strong foundation in customer service and grassroots marketing,” said Stafford. “I was looking for a service-based business that could operate on a decentralized model, reach profitability more efficiently, and perform well across economic cycles. The combination of a focused service offering and a strong support system made PatchMaster the right fit.”

At PatchMaster Chicago Southwest Suburbs, Stafford manages all sales and administrative functions, while experienced local technicians deliver high-quality field service. His vision includes building a strong company culture, delivering exceptional customer experiences, and actively giving back to the communities he serves.

“Jason brings a rare combination of entrepreneurial ownership experience and large-scale franchise leadership,” said Paul Ferrara, President & CEO, PatchMaster. “He understands what it takes to operate a disciplined business while building a culture that values people and service. We’re excited to support his growth in the Chicago market.”

After more than 20 years of living and running businesses in southern Illinois, Stafford has recently moved to the Chicago area to be closer to family. With more than a decade of experience in a previous franchise system, he chose PatchMaster as the right fit to begin his next chapter.
