Your Trusted Handyman in Wildwood

Wildwood is the newest of West County's communities — most of it built from the 1990s through the 2010s, on lots big enough to feel more rural than suburban. Large-acreage living comes with its own kind of upkeep, and Wildwood's mix of subdivision trustees, HOA architectural guidelines, and generous lot sizes means home maintenance here looks a little different than it does closer into the county.

Between 80-85% of Wildwood is single-family detached homes, and the signature feature here is lot size — 1 to 5-plus acres is common, well beyond the quarter-acre lots typical elsewhere in West County. Established neighborhoods like Grover and Fox Creek Valley carry homes from the 1990s and 2000s, which means decks and exterior features from that era are now 25 to 35 years old and reaching the point where board replacement and railing repair become common calls. Many Wildwood subdivisions also operate under Subdivision Trustees, meaning exterior work — decks included — may need trustee or HOA approval before it starts.

We understand that a Wildwood project often means navigating trustee or HOA approval before the work itself begins, and we factor that into how we plan a job instead of treating it as an afterthought. Large-lot living means more exterior square footage to maintain — more deck, more fencing, more of everything that takes weather damage — and we bring the capacity to handle that scale. Whether your deck is a 1990s original nearing the end of its life or a newer build that just needs routine attention, we approach it with the same licensed, insured, straightforward service.

We serve Wildwood and the surrounding communities of Ellisville and Eureka, with Chesterfield close by to the north. If you're anywhere in this large-lot stretch of West County, we're already in the area.

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.
