Handyman Services in Richmond Heights, MO

Your Trusted Handyman in Richmond Heights

Richmond Heights started in the late 1800s when a handful of wealthy St. Louisans built homes on the high ground just west of the city limits, escaping the crowded, smoke-choked conditions downtown. By the time it incorporated in 1913, the population had hit about 500. Today it's a compact, walkable community that punches above its weight — The Heights Community Center, the Maplewood-Richmond Heights school district partnership, and easy access to Clayton and the Galleria make it one of the most convenient places to live in the inner ring.

Housing in Richmond Heights is dense — nearly 1,900 units per square mile — and ranges from early 20th-century brick homes near the Maplewood border to postwar colonials and mid-century ranches farther west toward Ladue. The older brick homes are beautiful but demanding: they need tuckpointing every 20-30 years, their plaster walls crack when foundations settle, and their original wooden windows are either painted shut or rotting in the frames. The postwar homes have their own aging issues — galvanized pipes that are restricting water flow, outdated electrical service, and kitchens and bathrooms that haven't been touched since the Eisenhower administration.

Richmond Heights homeowners tend to be invested in their properties, and we match that energy. Whether you're restoring original hardwood floors in a 1920s brick home or updating a mid-century bath to sell, Uncle Phil's brings careful, detail-oriented work. We protect your existing finishes, we match trim profiles, and we don't cut corners on a house that's already survived a hundred years.

We serve Richmond Heights and the surrounding communities of Webster Groves, University City, and Kirkwood. The inner-ring suburbs are our home turf.
