"Installed crown molding, quarter round, replaced two interior doors with steel doors, installed two new French doors, replaced one large window, replaced garage siding and a few ad hoc repair jobs. Professional and reliable from the beginning to end of job. I am new to this area and I did not know who to call. I placed one call to Navarro and all my jobs were completed to my total satisfaction. I would recommend Navarro to anyone needing work done. If you do not see your project listed, just call. Most accommodating contractor I have ever worked with."

"Bill is wonderful to work with - prompt to reply, pleasant, and knowledgable. For this particular project, we needed some baseboard molding installed in our living room and we contacted Bill to come give a quote. He got back to me quickly, popped over to the house on his way home and gave me an estimate, which actually ended up being the exact cost at the end, which I appreciated. Bill is busy (always a good sign!) so he was able to complete the project ~1 week later. It came out beautifully, especially considering that he had to work with 7 1/4" high boards in a 100+ year old house with some pretty uneven floors and walls. (We've also asked him about some structural work that we need done and plan to use him for that as well.) Would absolutely recommend."

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.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are a safe and effective way to protect children from electrical hazards. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the outlet slots when not in use, preventing a child from inserting foreign objects. While they are the safest option available, it's important to note that few things can be considered truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug, so constant supervision around any electrical device is recommended. Tamper-resistant outlets are a much safer solution than childproofing covers, which can be removed by children and may pose a choking hazard.

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.

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.

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
