Handyman in Edwardsville, IL.

Home repairs and projects in Edwardsville.

Hughes Residential Services is a handyman and home improvement business serving Edwardsville, IL. Andrew Hughes handles repairs, carpentry, painting, and larger buildouts, and his biggest project to date sits right next door in Glen Carbon.

Edwardsville is the Madison County seat and a college town, home to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, with a mix of historic downtown homes and newer subdivisions spreading out around it. It is a growing part of the Metro East, and growing homes need everything from small repairs to real carpentry. Andrew Hughes has done that range of work since 2010. He is based in East Alton, a manageable drive up toward Edwardsville, so distance is never a reason a job does not get done right.

His flagship project is in Edwardsville’s backyard. In adjacent Glen Carbon, Andrew built out CrossFit Edwardsville, a functional-fitness gym that had been in business more than a decade and was upgrading to a premium space. It started as bare concrete and an open ceiling with the wiring still hanging. He handled the full demolition, then took the buildout the rest of the way: framing, drywall, the wood feature walls, flooring, and setting the rig stations. About a month later, they opened the doors. You can see that project on the work page.

That same craftsmanship goes into Edwardsville homes at any scale: drywall and flooring repairs, doors and trim, interior painting, fences and decks, fixture installs, and rental turnover for landlords. When you call (618) 531-5564, Andrew answers, explains the plan in plain words, and gives you a free estimate. No crew you have never met, no runaround.

Because Edwardsville keeps growing, a lot of homeowners here are juggling a list, the move-in fixes, the deferred repairs, the upgrade that has been waiting. Andrew is a single point of contact for that whole list instead of three different trades. He schedules the work, shows up when he says he will, and keeps you in the loop, which is the part most people remember long after the drywall dust is gone.
