Whatever your home needs, I’m the man to help you see it done. If you own a home you've probably encountered a really thorny puzzle. There are contractors. They’re just the right people for medium to large home projects employing one to many highly skilled workers. For this man’s expertise you’ll pay top dollar. On the other hand there are day workers you can pick up outside of Home Depot. These folks are just perfect for unskilled small home projects. They’re men who’ll work very hard, but who have limited skills and little training. Thankfully they’re inexpensive. Their problem is you can’t really expect more than general yard and home cleanup from them. Additional DBAs - B D Home Improvements, The Small Job Guru.

"Bruce responded quickly to our request for quote, went over details of job, estimated the cost and gave us guidance on prep for the job. He called again to confirm the appointment, and was on time. He was very organized in setting up for the job. He was meticulous but fast in his work - the joins in the siding were perfect. Overall, very professional, easy to work with, and we would recommend Bruce."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

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.
