Meet Bob - Your Local Building Science Expert & Handyman
"I
am Robert, though most neighbours call me Bob. I hold a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Building Surveying from the University of Greenwich in London. This
technical foundation allows me to see your home differently. I don't just see a
crack or a leak. I understand the science behind why it is happening so I can
fix it for good."
I am a firm believer in the 'Measure Twice, Cut Once' philosophy. My background as a semantic SEO specialist and digital consultant
means I am naturally detail-oriented, analytical, and budget-conscious.
For the past 7+ years, I have been a part of a platform focusing on sustainable construction and healthy
building products. I bring this "high-performance" mindset to every odd job,
ensuring that the materials used in your home are efficient, durable and safe
for your family.
Your White Rock Neighbour
I settled right here in White Rock to be with the love of my
life. I am deeply invested in our community and currently handle the
maintenance for my own local strata building.
When you hire me, you aren't just
getting someone with a hammer. You are getting 40 years of hands-on
construction experience and a neighbour who treats your home with sincerity.
At Better Call Bob, my mission is to bring professional building science expertise to everyday home repairs with a level of integrity that is becoming hard to find. I believe that every resident of White Rock and South Surrey deserves a handyman who is:
Technically Superior: Using a BSc in Building Surveying to identify the root cause of problems, not just the symptoms.
Radically Transparent: Providing honest, upfront pricing with zero hidden fees or 'gouging'.
Deeply Committed: Investing 110% effort into every project, regardless of the size, to ensure your home remains a safe, efficient sanctuary.
My goal isn't just to fix your house; it's to be the trusted neighbour you can rely on for years to come.
Protecting the Peninsula’s Greatest Asset: Our Seniors
Bob is personally fed up with seeing the senior population in our community being taken advantage of by companies that overcharge for simple tasks or perform subpar work. He believes that those who built this community deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and fairness.
Why Bob is the Trusted Choice for Seniors:
Family-Tested Care: Bob treats his clients like family. He manages all the ongoing maintenance and odd jobs for his local mother-in-law and has personally renovated entire kitchens from start to finish for both her and his parents in France.
Fixed-Income Friendly: Bob prides himself on being a 'nice guy' who offers fair shakes, ensuring seniors receive high-quality professional work at rates that respect their budget.
Safety & Accessibility Focus: Drawing on his 30 years of construction experience, Bob specializes in modifications that help seniors stay in their homes longer—from installing safety bars and improved lighting to fixing tripping hazards.
Clear Communication: No jargon, no high-pressure sales. Just clear explanations and a friendly, sincere approach to every repair.
If you are a senior, or have a parent in the area who needs a hand - Better Call Bob. He’ll treat your home with the same tenacity and care he gives his own family.
