MILSPEC Handy Man Services is a handyman service that specializes in half or full-day projects. Currently, we are booked approximately 2 to 3 weeks out. Serving the Hampstead and Wilmington areas, I have helped many knock out those tasks that normally take their entire weekend which allows them to reclaim their freedom to do what they would rather be doing other than working on their off time. Let me help you get things done. Rates are reasonable and quality is always my priority. PROVIDE PROJECT DETAILS IN YOUR REQUESTS PLEASE! Without them I cannot determine the scope of your project which usually results in declining requests.

"Karl cleaned our dryer vent, replaced front porch rails and repaired floor on our back deck. He was meticulous with his workman ship and neat with all of his projects. If and when we need any home repairs he will be the one we call.....we feel lucky to have been introduced to him."

"We are very happy with the job that Matthew did. He was very professional. He explained all that he would do and even added areas to be pressure washed that we had not thought about. Our house had a few sides that were covered with mold and dirt. He got everything off and made everything look new again. We will hire him again, whenever needed."

I'm a 20 year electrician looking to venture out on my own. I do more than electrical. I do carpentry, metal fabrication, interior/exterior finish work, and much more just ask.

"They took there time. Did every measurement over as well as leveling. They did not finish the job until they were sure it was on point. OUTSTANDING WORKMANSHIP."

Handyman services FAQs

Handypeople can tackle various home repair and maintenance tasks to keep your home looking and functioning at its best. From adjusting sprinklers and installing air conditioners to repairing roof leaks and refinishing cabinets, they've got you covered. Do you need the awning installed or the stair railings secured? How about fixing doors, repainting rooms, or even hanging holiday lights? A handyperson can handle all these jobs, saving you the hassle of hiring multiple specialists.

A handyperson doesn't perform repairs that require specialized certifications or detailed technical expertise. Critical projects, such as major plumbing installations, electrical rewiring, extensive structural modifications, or tasks that require permits, must be entrusted to licensed contractors. Expanding a stairway, installing a new roof, building a raised deck, or adding a fireplace involves the expertise of professional teams to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

To save money when hiring a handyperson, a little planning goes a long way. Try to bundle several small tasks together so they can handle everything in one visit. Clear the work area of any obstacles before they arrive—this helps them get started immediately. Don't forget to ask about any discounts for multiple projects or services. These simple steps can make the job more efficient and help reduce the overall cost.

Whether to pay a handyperson a flat rate or an hourly fee depends on your project. For smaller or straightforward tasks, paying by the hour might be more cost-effective. For example, a three-hour job at $75 per hour totals $225, which may be less than a flat rate of $300. For larger projects, a flat rate could save you money. It's best to discuss both options with your handyperson to determine what works best for your situation.

A handyperson doesn't require a tip, as their fees already cover the cost of their expertise and service. If you experience consistently outstanding service and build a durable professional relationship, offering an annual bonus as a gesture of appreciation is acceptable. This bonus is optional and is intended solely to reward exceptional performance throughout the year.

A contractor specializes in complex repair projects and employs a team of licensed professionals, while a handyperson works independently on a wide range of smaller projects. Contractors handle tasks that require permits and specialized skills, whereas handypeople address basic repairs and maintenance that don't demand certification. This clear distinction helps homeowners choose the right professional for each job.
