Home repairs and projects in Alton.
Hughes Residential Services is a handyman and home repair business serving Alton, IL. Andrew Hughes handles the repairs, upkeep, and projects on an Alton homeowner’s list, and he answers his own phone when you call.
Alton sits on the bluffs above the Mississippi River, and a lot of its housing stock shows its age in the best way: brick homes, plaster walls, original trim, and the kind of older construction that needs someone who has seen it before. That is the work Andrew Hughes has done across the Metro East since 2010. He is based a few miles east in East Alton, so getting to an Alton job is a short drive, not a travel surcharge.
Older homes come with older-home problems: a bathroom floor that has gone soft, drywall and plaster that needs patching, doors and trim that have shifted over the years, and fixtures that are due for replacement. Andrew handles the broad middle of that work, the repairs a specialist is too expensive for and a big contractor will not bother to schedule. He also works for Alton landlords, turning units between tenants so they show well and rent faster.
When you call, you talk to Andrew, not a call center. He listens to what is going on, explains how he would fix it, and gives you a free estimate with no surprise add-ons. Fifteen years in, the job is still the same: do good work, charge fair, and leave an Alton homeowner glad they called.
Alton’s mix of historic and updated homes means no two jobs look alike, and that suits how Andrew works. He would rather quote the job in front of him than push a one-size package, so an estimate reflects what your home actually needs. Whether it is a single repair on a century-old house near the river or a punch list before you list a property, you get the same straight answer and the same person on site start to finish.

“He came out to our rental property and had to replace our bathroom floor that was a nightmare BUT he did it like it was absolutely nothing. He was very easy to talk to and he explained everything thoroughly and listened to what we had to say.”Randi W. · 5★ · Facebook review
