About Me
My name is Michael, I spent 25+ years working in sales and marketing in the Twin Cities. I was most recently VP of sales for a consumer electronics company. After so many years of hard work I decided to make a change and pursue my other passion… making life great on the lake!
As a long time cabin and lake home owner I have seen just about everything. We love our life on the lake but….. who doesn’t! What can make that better? What if you had an honest, reliable and professional handyman who can make your time away exactly what you dreamed it could be. We perform a variety of services (listed on the services page) among other things. We are bonded and insured so you can feel confident your job no matter how big or small will be completed and done right.
After 7 years in our charming Bone Lake Cabin, we built a new year-round home on Bone Lake and just haven’t stopped. We continued to build and improve our little slice of heaven on the lake. I have built an extensive network of people over the years to get things done and have built relationships with many companies in the area which helps to get the right materials at the right time to get things done.
Who we are and what we do for you….
As long time cabin owners and now year round lake home owners we know the what it takes to keep things going smoothly when you are at the lake. We understand that your time is valuable, and you don’t want to be spending ALL your vacation time making repairs, cleaning and most importantly running back and forth to the store picking things up as part of your maintenance routine. Why not leave that to someone who knows cabin and lake life and how to really make it really easy for you?
In addition to our extensive list of maintenance tasks we perform we also offer in-person cabin monitoring. What’s worse than coming up to your cabin after some time away only to find a broken toilet valve filling and often overflowing your septic system…. Ugh who needs that?
Have you been away and come back to a broken window to your garage (real story here) and all your hand tools gone? Trust me, it happens more than we would like to believe.
There are also many environmental factors you have to contend with when you own a second home. Ever wonder….. What’s my propane level? Are we sure we shut off the well pump? When the temperatures drop around the lake it can be a challenge to keep an eye on things and more importantly to make sure things are safe and functioning. Why not have that peace of mind always. With Lakes Area Handyman you always have someone looking out for you and your property.
