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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.
