Your Trusted Handyman in Florissant

Florissant is one of the oldest settlements in Missouri — the first civilian government formed here in 1786, and Old Town Florissant still preserves 124 historically significant properties dating from 1790 to 1940, including the 1819 convent and 1821 church at the Old St. Ferdinand Shrine. But most of Florissant's residential character was set after World War II, when developers like Alfred H. Mayer transformed farmland into subdivision after subdivision of affordable family homes. Between 1947 and 1980, roughly 18,000 houses went up here.

If your Florissant home was built between 1940 and 1969 — and there's an 88% chance it was — you're living in a mid-century ranch or split-level with specific, predictable needs. The original galvanized plumbing is corroding and restricting water pressure. The electrical panel is a 100-amp Federal Pacific or Zinsco that should have been replaced years ago. The basement gets water along the north wall every spring. The kitchen is small, the bathrooms are smaller, and the windows are original aluminum sliders that leak air like a screen door. We know, because we've worked on hundreds of them.

Uncle Phil's is the right fit for Florissant because we understand mid-century ranch homes inside and out. We're not going to charge you for exploratory work to figure out your floor plan — we already know where the drain cleanout is, how the ductwork runs, and why your bedroom door won't latch. We fix the actual problem, not the symptom, and we keep our prices honest because we know this community.

We cover Florissant and neighboring Hazelwood and Bridgeton. North County is a core part of our service territory, and we're here every day of the week.

What is the most requested handyman service?

Painting and fixture installation round out the top five. Uncle Phil's covers all of these for St. Louis-area homes.
How to find a reliable local handyman?
Look for a handyman who is licensed and insured, has verifiable local references or reviews, and gives written estimates before starting work. Avoid anyone who quotes only verbally or asks for full payment upfront. Uncle Phil's has served the St. Louis metro for 20+ years — call (636) 896-PHIL for a free, no-obligation estimate.
What do handymen usually charge per hour?
Handyman rates nationally range from $60 to $125 per hour depending on the job type, local market, and experience level. Rates in the St. Louis metro fall in this range. Uncle Phil's provides free upfront estimates so you know the total cost before work begins — no surprise charges.
How much does a handyman charge per hour in St. Louis, Missouri?
In the St. Louis metro, handyman rates typically run $65 to $120 per hour for general repairs. Specialty work (electrical, plumbing) may run slightly higher. Uncle Phil's charges competitive rates and provides written estimates before starting. Call (636) 896-PHIL for a free quote.
Is it cheaper to hire a handyman or contractor?
For most home repairs, a handyman is significantly cheaper than a licensed general contractor. Contractors manage large projects, pull permits, and coordinate subcontractors — that overhead costs money. A handyman like Uncle Phil's handles repairs, replacements, and smaller improvements directly, faster, and more affordably. We'll tell you honestly when a job needs a licensed contractor.
How much should a handyman charge per day?
A full day of handyman work (8 hours) in the St. Louis area typically runs $400 to $700 depending on task mix and materials. Some handymen offer day-rate pricing for larger punch lists. Uncle Phil's prices by the job with a written estimate — for a full day of varied repairs, call (636) 896-PHIL and describe your list.
Does a handyman need a license in Missouri?
Missouri does not require a statewide general handyman license for minor repairs and maintenance. However, specific trades — electrical work above a certain scope, plumbing rough-in, and HVAC — require a licensed contractor. Uncle Phil's operates within legal handyman scope and refers work requiring licensed specialty contractors. For Missouri licensing requirements, see the MO Division of Professional Registration at pr.mo.gov.
What is the best way to find a good handyman?
Ask neighbors and friends for referrals first — word of mouth is the most reliable signal. Then verify: are they insured? Do they give written estimates? Do they have Google or Yelp reviews? Uncle Phil's has served the St. Louis metro for 20+ years with repeat customers across 49 communities. Call (636) 896-PHIL or use the contact form above.
