Handyman on The Hill, St. Louis: Italian-Neighborhood Home Repairs

The Hill is one of St. Louis's most beloved neighborhoods — tight brick shotgun homes and family houses with deep roots and the repairs that come with age. The common calls here are brick tuck-pointing, settling cracks in plaster, porch and railing safety, and the aging windows and doors that the Hill's older homes all share. A handyman who works the Hill knows the stock and the neighbors, which means faster work and a fairer quote. Here's what we handle most.

What The Hill homes need most

• Brick tuck-pointing and mortar repair — the Hill is brick country
• Plaster cracks and settling patches in century homes
• Porch and railing safety — posts, railings, and stairs
• Window and door repair on settling frames
• Gutter and downspout repair on older roofs
• Caulking and grout in the Hill's original bathrooms

Porch and railing safety

The Hill's front porches are the social center of the neighborhood and often the first thing to need repair — rotted posts, loose railings, loose treads. We re-secure posts, replace rotted sections, and bring railings back to the load they're supposed to carry. A loose porch rail is a fall waiting on a guest.
