Handyman Services in Sunset Hills, MO

Your Trusted Handyman in Sunset Hills

Sunset Hills exists because Kirkwood got ambitious. In 1957, when word leaked that Kirkwood planned to annex the unincorporated hills overlooking the Meramec, local residents moved fast and incorporated their own city. Before that, the area was a resort destination — by 1900, the hills above the river had become popular for their views and their distance from the heat of downtown St. Louis. The postwar subdivisions that followed gave the city its residential character.

Sunset Hills homes range from those original postwar subdivisions to newer construction in developments like Laumeier Valley Woods. The older homes sit on large, wooded lots carved into the hillsides, which gives them great curb appeal but creates persistent drainage challenges. Water runs downhill, and in Sunset Hills, that often means toward your foundation. We work on a lot of French drain installations, sump pump replacements, and basement waterproofing here. The newer homes in the Gravois Road corridor tend to need less structural work but more cosmetic updates and routine maintenance.

Sunset Hills homeowners get the best of both worlds with Uncle Phil's — we understand the structural challenges of hillside construction and we handle the everyday repairs that keep a home running smoothly. Need a retaining wall repaired? We do that. Need a shelf hung? We do that too. No job is too big to scare us or too small to interest us.

We cover Sunset Hills along with neighboring Crestwood, Fenton, and Mehlville. The South County hills are part of our regular service area.
