Your Trusted Handyman in Maryville

Maryville might not make the headlines like its neighbors, but this small village between Edwardsville and Collinsville has quietly built a solid residential base with good schools and easy highway access. Anderson Hospital anchors the community, and the neighborhoods around it are filled with families who chose Maryville specifically for its value and convenience.

Maryville's housing is predominantly newer — a lot of the development happened from the '80s through the 2010s as the village benefited from the Edwardsville-area growth spill. You'll find subdivisions of ranches and two-stories with vinyl siding, attached garages, and the kind of construction that looks great for the first decade and then starts showing its seams. We get a lot of calls for deck repairs, exterior caulking, bathroom fan replacements, and kitchen hardware upgrades. There are some older homes along the Route 159 corridor with more character and more demanding maintenance needs.

Maryville homeowners are practical — they want dependable service without drama. Uncle Phil's fits that profile perfectly. We quote the job, we do the job, we leave your home better than we found it. No sales pitch, no upsell, no surprise charges.

We serve Maryville alongside Glen Carbon and Edwardsville. Collinsville is just to the south, and we cover that too.

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.
