Grandpa Dan

Hi! I'm Maxwell, the newest member of the Underwood Woodworking family. I just wanted to let you know that my grandpa is the best contractor in Otter Tail County. He can handle any project for you, big or small.

Sundbergs on Pickerel Lake

Ditch clean-up


County Hwy. 18 near my home. Twice a year for the last two years I have been removing other people's trash from this section of road. I am especially grateful for the help I have had by Anne, my wife, and my parents, Vern and Borgie. We usually pick up six to eight bags in about three hours.

Lead-Safe Certified


Underwood Woodworking is now compliant with the recently enacted EPA guidelines related to the safe handling of lead contaminated building components. Any and all homes constructed prior to 1978 are considered to contain lead, most likely in the paint products used. Lead is an accumulating toxin that affects internal organs and brain tissue especially in infants and children. Lead in your home, especially in the form of dust, is known to be a serious health hazard. You need to hire contractors that are trained and certified to handle lead containing products safely.

Another project on Pickerel Lake in Ottertail County


Hi! I am Dan's youngest son, Carl. I recently helped my dad with a project at the Groth cabin on Pickerel Lake. We added a beautiful screen porch to their cabin. We also reshingled the roof and replaced the sofits and facia. The image above shows the Groths in front of their recently competed addition. I enjoyed working on this project because the owner Gail Groth is an interesting man with lots of great stories. The Groths are probably enjoying their new porch right now! Unsurprisingly, this was another successful project for Underwood Woodworking, which is likely due to the personal attention and superior workmanship that Dan puts forth in every project.

No project is too big or too small

I love that my job allows me to work on a variety of projects. I am willing to work on large projects such as shingling a barn as well as small projects like installing this sign.
Call me today for a quote on your next project - be it large or small.
