Handyman in Central West End, St. Louis: Historic Mansions and Apartments

·5 min read

Central West End mixes grand historic mansions with high-rise apartments, and both need a handyman who can handle tall ceilings, ornate trim, and the quirks of buildings that have stood for a century. The single-family homes need plaster and window work; the apartments need mounting, assembly, and the small repairs that make a unit livable between tenants. A handyman in CWE who knows both worlds handles it without bouncing between specialists. Here's what we do most in the neighborhood.

What CWE homes and apartments need

  • Tall-window sash repair and draft sealing
  • Plaster and lath repair on settling walls
  • Crown molding and ornate trim repair and replacement
  • TV and art mounting in high-ceiling units
  • Furniture assembly for move-ins
  • Lock and door hardware upgrades — smart locks and deadbolts

Full scope on our mounting and assembly and doors, windows and locks pages.

The high-ceiling mounting challenge

CWE's tall ceilings mean mounts and art hang at heights that need the right ladder, the right anchors, and the right stud-finding. A heavy mirror or a big TV on a plaster-and-lath wall at 12 feet is not a casual DIY. We bring the ladders and the anchors, and we hit the studs so it stays up.

Apartments and turnovers

CWE has a high concentration of apartment buildings, and property managers here call us for rental turnover work — patching, painting, and lock swaps between tenants, done by one crew so the vacancy stays short.
