About

My name is Mitch Lavin, owner and founder of Northwoods Odds and Ends, LLC, a licensed and insured small project contracting business based in Hazelhurst, WI. Founded in 2020, we specialize in property maintenance, professional handyman services, custom home repairs, and small project design-build contracting.

I started this business to bring value to the Lakeland area through reliable service, excellent communication, and by building trusting relationships with clients.

With a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and 13 years of experience in the engineering field, I have developed strong problem-solving skills using math, science, and technology while effectively managing the needs of stakeholders. Although my professional engineering career didn't focus on home repairs and construction, I have been actively involved in numerous residential projects for the past 15 years, including custom deck design and construction, basement and kitchen remodels, and repairs of various home mechanical systems.

Every home or property project presents a unique problem-solving opportunity. I aim to bring the same skills I developed in my engineering career—along with my residential project experience—to solve problems for others, delivering professional and reliable service, fair pricing, and the peace of mind that your project will be handled efficiently.
