ABOUT ROBERT ROUNDS

As a Handyman in South Minneapolis and the surrounding metro area, I get immense satisfaction from helping homeowners and small businesses fix their problems. Nothing makes me happier than knowing my customers will enjoy a high quality repair or remodel for years to come.

​

My path to becoming a handyman wasn't expected. For years, I wanted to work in the LED lighting industry as a scientist. That led me to pursue my PhD in Materials Science & Engineering from North Carolina State. During my five year graduate school career, I also flipped houses and did home repairs to earn money for my growing family

Upon graduation, I enthusiastically entered industry as a Research Scientist. However, I found that work in a corporate environment wasn't a good fit for me. I spent hours in meetings when I wanted to work with my hands. 

​

The whole time I worked as a scientist, I knew I needed a change. Moving back to the Twin Cities gave me the perfect opportunity to launch Dr. FixIt, a handyman service business.

I take my years of science and engineering training and apply it to everyday tasks around your home or business.

My goal is to perform every task, so that a high quality result lasts for years. I treat every project like the result will be in my own home.

​

Home improvement isn't the only thing that excites me. I'll gladly speak with your about various topics including my family, materials science, wide bandgap semiconductors, entomology, astrophysics, or God.

However, I probably won't chat too much while I'm working -- my hands don't work well while my lips are moving.
