Dryer Vent Wizard Success Stories

Gayle Patrick never imagined she’d become the face of a thriving Dryer Vent Wizard franchise, especially because she doesn’t love doing laundry!

But for Gayle, building a business was never about folding clothes. It was about creating a life on her own terms.

A U.S. Army veteran with a sharp business mind, Gayle spent years climbing the corporate ladder. Still, the dream of entrepreneurship tugged at her. She wanted something simple, scalable, and proven with high net margins in a niche market.

Dryer Vent Wizard checked every box. In 2019, she launched her home service franchise in Newport News, Virginia, using her own capital. With hard work and the brand’s support, she quickly exceeded her goal of expanding her team and fleet within the first year.

Today, Gayle enjoys the kind of work-life balance that once felt out of reach. Whether she’s mentoring aspiring franchise owners or giving back to her community, Gayle is proof that structure, service, and a little entrepreneurial spirit can take you far.

Gayle Patrick’s Success Story

I’m not on someone else’s schedule, I’m now on my own schedule.

I love the opportunity to scale, do my own thing, and be compensated well at the same time.

Dryer Vent Wizard changed my life because it afforded me the opportunity to spend more time with family.

Not only are we contributing to the safety of the community, but also providing a workplace where people are able to grow [and] have a career in something they had never even considered.

I enjoy the camaraderie with other franchise owners and the genuine desire to help each other succeed. It is like an extended family of experts.
