Home repairs and projects in Alton.
Hughes Residential Services is a handyman and home repair business serving Alton, IL. We handle the repairs, upkeep, and projects on an Alton homeowner’s list, and we answer our 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 we have done across the Metro East since 2010. We are 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. We handle the broad middle of that work, the repairs a specialist is too expensive for and a big contractor will not bother to schedule. We also work for Alton landlords, turning units between tenants so they show well and rent faster.
When you call, you talk to us, not a call center. We listen to what is going on, explain how we would fix it, and give 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 we work. We would rather quote the job in front of us 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
