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."

"Kaden was very personable. The railings and pool deck that were painted look so much better. I did have one complaint that Kaden came back and corrected and made the suggestion that when he uses helpers that he should also provide coverings for areas not to be painted. Compared to others his price was more reasonable."

"We hired Mr. Handyman to paint our gables and soffitt. The employee was inexperienced. After setting up, she approached me and said she had made a mistake and didn't understand that she was painting the gables. The estimate we accepted stated painting 3 gables and soffitts. She said she needed to re-estimate the work. Eventually, we agreed on a new [much higher price that her boss approved.] She did very little work before she went back to the company van and sat in it. The office manager arrived to say that she was sick and someone else would be coming the next morning to do the agreed upon job. He started the job and my husband went to talk to him. He stated he was only doing the gables per his boss. The boss called immediately and was irate. He insisted the work was only to paint the gables. I told him we had both a written estimate and video recording [of the renegotiation] stating the work to be done. He insisted we pay more. I asked why, we already agreed and he hung up on me. "

It's best to stain your new fence after the wood has fully dried, which usually takes about six to eight weeks after installation. Waiting ensures the stain adheres properly, giving your fence lasting protection. Staining a fence usually takes three to five days. You'll start by cleaning the wood and letting it dry for at least 24 hours. After applying the stain, you'll need to wait 12 to 24 hours for each coat to dry.
Paint lasts longer than stain—about five to 10 years compared to stain's one to eight years. Painting requires more prep work and multiple coats, but offers a durable, long-lasting finish. Staining is less labor-intensive and allows the wood's natural beauty to show, but may need more frequent reapplication. Consider your maintenance preferences and desired look when choosing between the two.
Yes, you should stain both sides of your fence. Staining both sides provides complete protection from weather, moisture, and pests, extending your fence's lifespan and keeping it looking good. If your fence borders a neighbor’s property, communicate with them about splitting the cost of staining both sides of the fence or work out an agreement that satisfies both parties.
