Handyman Services in Crestwood, MO

Your Trusted Handyman in Crestwood

Crestwood incorporated in 1947 and grew explosively — from 1,645 residents in 1950 to over 15,000 by 1970. Watson Road, which was part of the original Route 66, drove that growth, bringing the '66' Park-In Theatre, the first McDonald's west of the Mississippi, and eventually Crestwood Plaza, which opened in 1957 as one of the region's first malls. The mall closed in 2013, and the 47-acre site is now becoming Crestwood Crossing — a new chapter for a city that's been reinventing itself since the beginning.

The typical Crestwood home is a 1950s or '60s ranch or split-level, built during that population explosion on the rolling terrain south of Watson Road. These are solidly constructed brick homes with full basements, and they've held up well — but 70 years is 70 years. We see a lot of foundation settling that causes stair-step cracks in brick, original casement windows that no longer seal properly, basement stairs with worn treads, and the accumulated effects of deferred maintenance on fascia, soffits, and gutters.

Uncle Phil's knows Crestwood's mid-century housing as well as anyone in the trade. We've handled everything from complete bathroom gut-jobs in original 1955 bathrooms to simple grab-bar installations for aging-in-place modifications. We work clean, we communicate throughout the project, and we stand behind our work. If something isn't right, we come back and make it right.

We serve Crestwood and the surrounding communities of Webster Groves, Sunset Hills, Affton, and Sappington. We're deeply familiar with the South County housing stock.
