"My yard looked absolutely atrocious. I contacted this gentleman and he came out and looked at it and let me know that he would make it look presentable and do a great job. I left him to it and whenever I got home, the yard looked absolutely amazing. There was even a section behind a building that had grass that was over 10 inches tall that he mowed down and got it looking amazing. I would highly recommend this gentleman as he has a true passion for making yards and landscaping look great. We have went through many people trying to find a great lawn care individual and I wish we would’ve found him first."

"Run from this guy. He has a criminal background and is not certified. I did not get the doors I asked for installed and he refused to order the correct doors. Doors he installed do not fit. One door was jammed in so hard the interior molding around the doors pulled apart. He left holes under the french doors. He put a column/large post on front porch and if you lean on it, it will move and fall down. He wanted money upfront for supplies so like an idiot I did that. He has not waterproofed and stained my deck he built, and he has not painted the posts and column. He did a crappy job staining my front door. There is saw dust mixed in with the stain. He only stained one side of the door. He did not replace rotten/deteriorating/damaged door facings. He did not put metal lock brackets on the wrong doors he installed. The door that is jammed in will no longer open and the french doors are so hard to open the rubber weather seal at the bottom is pulling away from the door."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

The average cost of childproofing services is $410. This cost can range from $190 to $630 or more, depending on the size of your home and what services you need. 

The location of the childproofing additions also plays a vital role in the overall cost. For example, a bathroom is relatively small and costs about $150 to fully childproof. However, if you have a swimming pool, you could spend as much as $1,500 to $10,000 to make it entirely safe for small children, including adding a pool fence.

The best time to hire a childproofing professional is at least three months before your due date. Although it might seem early, proper childproofing takes time, especially if you need extensive services like a pool fence. Getting your house ready now before your child is on the go only helps to protect them at all stages of life.

A professional childproofer will first survey your home to identify potentially dangerous locations, including stairs, cabinets, and pools. Once approved, your professional will order and install the safety equipment for you. 

Some ways a childproofing professional will make your home safe include:

  • Anchoring large furniture 

  • Installing safety gates

  • Installing safety latches on cabinets and drawers 

  • Covering railings that could trap a child

  • Covering electrical outlets 

  • Installing a swimming pool fence

  • Removing or covering electrical cords where possible

While tamper-resistant outlets are effective at protecting children from the dangerous electrical outlets, few things can be truly childproof. Children may still try to imitate their parents and adults by inserting a plug into the tamper-resistant outlet. Hiding outlets behind childproofing covers is not an effective solution to this, as those covers can be removed or even swallowed. Tamper-resistant outlets are the safest option to keep children safe in your home, but be sure to always keep a close eye on young children around any outlets or electrical devices.

In many cases, you can DIY home childproofing with success. You can purchase childproofing tools like cabinet locks, outlet covers, and table-edge guards and install them easily. 

However, it's best to have a professional childproofing service work on larger projects like pool safety or furniture anchoring. These safety measures can take a lot of time and effort to DIY, plus, you want to ensure the tasks are done correctly to keep your child safe.
