Merle first arrived on one of our work sites as a subcontractor. His work caught Joe’s eye, and after much scrutiny, Merle passed the test. When Joe suggests that we hire someone who meets his strict standards, we listen.

Like many in the industry, Merle has learned and honed his skills on-site from other highly experienced tradespeople. Possessing a knack for finding people who excel at what they do, Merle will absorb everything that person can teach him, and then apply it. Home Inspection and BC Building Code courses have rounded out his skill set, enabling him to better understand what building authorities expect from the industry, and he includes this knowledge in his work at NOVERO.

Merle’s career highlights include stripping a 100-year-old house down to the studs, then breathing new life into it; acting as foreman on a 20-story tower; running large crews on big commercial sites; and working for himself for six years. Merle excels in his role as site supervisor, with thanks to his friendly and adaptable personality. Clients find him very approachable, customer-focussed and always available for questions.
