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."

"The work that was preformed was horrible. This was new construction home and which we thought we hired this company and come to find out they sub contracted the work out. This was a total Sheetrock job. A lot of our personal property was used and damaged, none of the work was complete on 2 separate occasions, the owner was very disrespectful when we called him out on it,etc. I can’t explain everything we went through to get this job done properly. We had to hire someone else to complete the work. Keep in mind we live over 3 hours away and 2 separate trips the work was supposed to be complete. I would not recommend and be careful signing their contract and giving them your direct account information!! They will try and withdraw the money without your knowledge and claim they made attempts to collect which is incorrect!!"

AB&C Painting has been in business for over 40 years. We do all aspects of Interior and Exterior painting. Pressure washing, Deck staining. You can check our web site for past and present projects. Our Company comes highly recommended. We never ask for any money until the job is finished and your satisfied. We have a Five Star Rating with BBB.

"Don't hesitate to use their services! We vetted four companies to paint the exterior of our home. At the time, our home was under repairs from an electrical fire last year. I met with Daniel, the owner and we walked the entire exterior of my property which included our 2400 sqft home and a detached two-car garage. Daniel's 40+ years of experience in the Painting business was very apparent as we discussed multiple issues of concern and how to appropriately resolve them without inflating the final bill. I went home that night bragging to my husband about how comfortable I was with Daniel's expertise, attention to detail, approach to educating the homeowner on how to address problems themselves, and his quiet, calming demeanor when describing the scope of work. After all bids were received, we chose Daniel and his team and I'm writing to tell everyone that my home has never looked better. Shortly before the project started, we had to address an unrelated issue with the workmanship of the Contractor hired by the Home Repair Contractor to paint the interior of our home. I called Daniel, asking if he could please make time to come by and evaluate the interior painting job. He came two days later and as we expected, he found that the "satin finish" paint used, exacerbated the poorly installed drywall and other repairs. This man hadn't even painted my house yet, but we were so comfortable with his knowledge and expertise, we asked him to help us fix our home. We were on a strict timeline, so Daniel put other projects on hold and agreed to make things right. His crew completed the interior prep-work and repairs, all while painting the exterior of the home. With weather permitting, his crew completed the entire project in the cold and sunny days of Mid-December and January. Robby was phenomenal! He had an uphill battle to fix someone else's mistakes, but he accepted the challenge, and superceded our expectations. We can't thank him enough for caring about his chosen craft. My home looks absolutely beautiful, inside and out! My neighbors continue to call and comment on the color and paint job. I would hire AB&C Painting again for any painting project. In a world where people think of themselves, this is one Painting Company that cares whether you're fully satisfied in the end, and also warranty their work. I will praise the awesome work Daniel, Robbie, and crew accomplished to anyone who will listen and made our home whole again. I Highly recommend their services!"

Small projects paintings or stainings FAQs

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.
