Handyman in Tower Grove, St. Louis: Repairs for Historic Brick Homes

Tower Grove is one of the most charming pockets of St. Louis — century brick two-flats and foursquare homes lining the streets around Tower Grove Park. That charm comes with a repair list: old plaster that cracks with every season, wood windows that stick, brick that needs repointing, and settling that opens seams. A handyman in Tower Grove who knows this housing stock fixes it faster, and without the diagnosis time that eats a budget. Here's what we handle most in the neighborhood.

What Tower Grove homes need most

• Plaster repair and skim coating — cracks, popped nails, settling seams in older walls
• Original wood windows — sash cord and balance repair, draft sealing
• Brick and masonry touch-ups and tuck-pointing where mortar has eroded
• Door adjustments on the settling frames of older homes
• Caulking and grout in original baths and kitchens
• Trim and baseboard repair where humidity has lifted the joints

The seasonal settling of older brick homes

Tower Grove's brick homes move with the seasons — freeze-thaw in winter, humidity in summer — and the cracks come back year after year. A handyman who's patched hundreds of these walls knows which cracks are cosmetic and which mean movement, and how to feather a patch so it disappears. That experience is the value of staying local.
