Your Trusted Handyman in Creve Coeur

Creve Coeur started as a farming community along Olive Boulevard — a route that follows a centuries-old trail from the Mississippi to the Missouri River. When the city incorporated in 1949, it was barely a square mile with 1,900 people. Today it's a thriving mix of corporate campuses, established residential neighborhoods, and some of the best parks in the county. But those original bones are still visible if you know where to look — there are still more than a dozen century-old homes scattered among the postwar subdivisions.

The housing in Creve Coeur runs the gamut. You've got cozy ranch homes from the 1950s and '60s along tree-lined streets, large Georgian estates in Sheffield and Sherwyn Lane with meticulous landscaping, and newer luxury builds like Duever Estates where McKelvey put up 12 custom homes. The ranches are the bread and butter of our work here — they're at the age where everything needs attention at once: the roof, the windows, the original bathroom tile, the kitchen cabinets that have been painted over three times. The larger homes have their own demands, from repointing brick to maintaining elaborate built-ins and butler's pantries.

Uncle Phil's has been inside enough Creve Coeur homes to know that a ranch on Conway Road has completely different needs than an estate off Ladue Road. We scale our work to fit — from a half-day bathroom refresh to a multi-week punch list on a home you're preparing to sell. We're detail-oriented, we communicate clearly, and we don't disappear mid-project.

We're active throughout Creve Coeur and into neighboring Chesterfield, Town and Country, Maryland Heights, and Olivette. If you're anywhere near the Olive corridor, we can be there quickly.

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.
