I am delighted to write this letter of recommendation for Rob who has been engaged by me for some years to complete different types of repair work on a regular basis.
When it comes to builders, I have seen and dealt with a few over 37 years, and I have to give testament to Rob who with his professional friendly manner and no-nonsense approach to achieving the work that is required to be completed on time, always good attention to detail and is committed expressing his compassion for something he loves to do.
It was no surprise to hear that he has been nominated for the New Zealand Small Business Award for customers service and satisfaction as I feel that he is very deserving of such an honour.
I wish you every success Rob.

Rob, the Gentleman Who Can has done work for us in our house in Karaka Bay Auckland. Always fine work and very reliable. When we decided to sell our house recently, he suggested a simple make-over of respraying the kitchen doors, painting them all white and putting in a new fridge (which he plumbed to the water supply). The kitchen was a big hit with all our friends and made the house look much more modern. It was an inexpensive solution and almost certainly helped in our successful sale of the house. I find Rob a very engaging, intelligent and courteous person. It is a pleasure to have him working in the house, a bit like having a nice house-guest visiting from England who fixes everything he sees for you! I highly recommend him.

Rob has completed a number of renovations and maintenance jobs around our property. No matter what size of the task he applies himself so the outcome is always the same excellent quality, and always at a reasonable cost.
Rob’s work for us has ranged from a full laundry renovation, through to the building of a custom made bench and planters on our deck and a number of minor works. Whatever we’ve been looking to improve around the house, Rob’s brought his expertise and gentle guidance to bear, understanding what we’re looking to achieve and offering sound advice on what the best way to proceed may be. He is a delight to have around the house, a cheerful presence and a true gentleman who can.
We’re happy to recommend Rob’s services to anyone considering him.

Thanks for doing the handyman work at Ladies Mile. It was such a pleasure to find the work well done and left so tidy.

I have used Rob’s service for my own home as well as two tenanted properties within the past few months.
Rob was just amazing in the way he was able to take my ideas to create a second bathroom/ en-suite from out of an existing hallway, in my home. He was faced with barriers at every point along the way because of the tightness of the space, but what I now have is just as I envisioned. It has the *wow* factor. Everyone that sees it says that too, and they all want one! This is how Rob’s business flourishes! By word of mouth.
Rob has done similar work for me on two rental properties. One was to create a parking space that a neighbour had crimped away. It involved reshaping the roof and laying a floating concrete plinth. It now functions as it should but also looks stylish. He is Good!

Rob did a fantastic job – he was extremely versatile, the quality of his work was meticulous and he provided a very cost-effective service. Rob was also a pleasure to deal with as he was always punctual, courteous and efficient. We would not hesitate to use Rob again and recommend his handyman services without reservation.”

“The Gentleman Who Can certainly lived up to his name whilst fitting out our new store on Queen Street. The standard to which the work was done was exceptional and we would not hesitate to refer him to anyone.
Communication was key throughout this project and Rob managed to take our pipe dream and turn it into a fully functioning commercial space.
We look forward to our next project where we will definitely be calling upon The Gentleman Who Can’s services again.”

“Hi Rob, just wanted to let you know that we have received fantastic feedback for your workmanship and ability over the past week.
You’ve done a brilliant job not only with the tables & corrugated iron but also very easy to work with and take instructions. As you would know there are so many cowboys out there!!
Looking forward to sending lots more work your way in the future and to meet you.”

One job, in particular, had totally perplexed others who had considered it and Rob was able to pinpoint the cause immediately and resolve the problem. He is a lateral thinker who is both creative, highly skilled and conscientious. I recommend him very highly to anyone who wants a job well done.”

“Rob, is, without doubt, the best tradesman I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. Not much is beyond him. He delivers in spades. He does what is agreed, to the highest standard, with the time agreed and all at a very reasonable price. His company name is very apt, he is a real gentleman, and is most certainly someone who can. He will supply the right solution to your home maintenance headaches that others cannot. I wish I’d started using him way sooner than I have. He is really that good”
Greg Nikoloff
Rob is the man to call for the handyman stuff you just can’t do yourself. He is reliable, competent, versatile and most of all he’s a nice guy to have around the house. I totally recommend him.

Rob, thanks for doing such an awesome job repairing the floor tiles in our surgery. We’re very appreciative of your flexibility, working outside of usual business hours to get the job done, and the patience showed when one of our nurses inadvertently stepped on a tile that had not set meaning that part of the job had to be redone.
Your service is extremely professional, and your communication was excellent with the end result being a great quality job. Thank you!!

Rob recently completed some work on our property in St Heliers.
From first contact, pricing and completion of the work, I can honestly say we have been totally impressed by Rob’s Service, workmanship, tidiness, communication and professionalism.
Everything was done on time on budget and without any hassle ……exactly as agreed.

Rob is everything you want in a tradesman; effective at his job and ON TIME! I will certainly be using Rob for any jobs in the future.

Rob Graham repainted the tongue and groove in our kitchen and enlarged a cupboard in 2017. It was a fiddly and time-consuming job, particularly as every little notch and groove had to be cleaned, filled etc. We are delighted with the outcome. It looks fabulous and has had lots of compliments. The cupboard is perfectly matched to the tongue and groove and is now a lot more useful! Rob is meticulous and, moreover, a thoroughly pleasant person to deal with.
We have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who wants a top quality result.

Rob completed some work for my elderly parents in a small flat in Remuera. I found Rob helpful, timely and considerate. The work was complete to an excellent standard and enabled the flat to be rented very quickly. I cold not recommend Rob more highly for his customer service and patience with my elderly parents.
