We have the experience (second-generation carpenter and 10 years experience in painting) and we are committed to providing quality workmanship (in woodwork and paint that is smooth and elegant) and superior customer service on all our applications. We at Abe's Woodwork & Paint strive to maintain our reputation as a high-quality, very service-oriented company with our main focus being customer satisfaction.

"Very please with the project. We had Abe build two custom dressers. We wanted them to match the ones we already had. Karla and Abe came , listened to us, and the end product was excellent. They were very courteous, professional and finished the work on time. We were kept informed of the project status. The workmanship is flawless. We wanted a small stool built as an aside. It was made perfectly, exactly how we wanted, and they did not even charge us for it!! We will surely use they again. We very highly recommend them."

Some of the projects he has helped me with include: replacing my dryer hose, repairing wall-board, replacing 40 year-old kitchen bay windows, cleaning and removing unwanted items from my garage. I would recommend Mr. Lee to anyone he needs help with handyman projects."

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 pride our company on attention to detail, punctuality, reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We are experts in our trade with over 25 years of experience and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular task or project. Our attention to detail is that of no other. We look forward to earning your business!

"The contractor finished and I paid him. I then noticed that 2 gates would not close correctly. I called him and he said he would fix the gates. The next week I texted him and he texted back he would fix the gates on Friday. He never showed and I called him again. His response was he was very busy. This crew has full time jobs as paramedics so they install fences as a sideline. Nothing wrong with that but it limits their time on the fence job. I had to pay another contractor to fix the gates as I could not get them to fix the gates. Do not pay them until you are fully satisfied."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Any bowing in a basement wall signals an issue that needs to be addressed. However, bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches. That’s why it’s essential to call a pro as soon as you notice the bowing wall. The sooner you address the problem, the easier (and less expensive) it will be to repair.
