Sam Backberg
Owner & Lead Handyman · Emily, MN
Hi, I’m Sam Backberg, founder and owner-operator of UNLTD Handyman based right here in Emily, Minnesota.
Living in the Brainerd Lakes area, we all know how challenging it can be to find someone reliable who will take on smaller repairs, odd jobs, and punch lists. Big general contracting firms often won’t return calls for drywall patches, leaky faucets, or sticking doors — while leaving you waiting weeks for simple fixes.
That’s why I started UNLTD Handyman. I wanted to give local homeowners, cabin owners, and vacation rental hosts a single, dependable point of contact for versatile, multi-trade repairs done with integrity.
Beyond interior drywall, plumbing, and electrical fixtures, I handle heavy outdoor lake property needs: tree trimming and hazard limb removal, storm blowdown cleanup, dock and boat lift maintenance, seasonal cabin winterization blowouts, roof ice dam mitigation, and driveway snow plowing.
