"I needed to find a contractor to build my front porch project and after talking to 4 of them and never heard back from them, I found Rickey Thru Home Advisor. I gave him a call and he was pleased to know about my project. He is amazing, understanding, professional, kind, pleasant to work with.He explained everything that I needed to know and updated me every step. He was on top of everything. Very organized with each team that he has. We had a little struggle with the county, for the permit and inspections but that didnâ  t stop him and he made thru . Very patient!! He works with amazing people. Billy and Jen did the finishing touches on my porch. They did a. great job. Im so thankful that I met them all and for the work they all done on my new Porch. NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL!! Thank you Rickey and the team. IM IN LOVE WITH MY PORCH ð ¥° He is a man of God!!!"

"I own several duplexes and Chey has been my handyman for several years. He has completed things like, putting in floors, toilets, bathtubs, fixtures, doors, fixing plumbing, HVAC piping, painting walls and cabinets. I?ve also had him out at my residence to fix things like my garbage disposal, yard work, etc. There isn?t anything I don?t think Chey can?t fix. He is a jack of all trades. I?m an 86 year old female and I trust him, whether I?m there or not, to get the job done professionally. His smile will when the job over!"

"Anthony did a great job. I am a disabled vet, and needed help with installation of a 20ft flagpole. He was on-time, courteous, and had great attention to detail. He is in my phone now, and I will not only use his services, for many different projects, I will recommend him to my friends and neighbors. Thanks Anthony."

"SOD WAS LAYED QUICKLY. WORKERS MOSTLY SPOKE SPANISH SO SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE, HOWEVER, THEY WORKED TIRELESSLY UNTIL THEY WERE DONE. WHEN INSTALLING THE PLANTS, THEY WERE NOT AS GOOD AT THIS, NOT THEIR FORTE. THEY COMPLAINED A LOT ABOUT HOW HARD IT WAS TO DO THE PLANTINGS. DURING BOTH JOBS THEY DRANK BEER DURING THEIR BREAKS AND LEFT THE BEER BOTTLES IN OUR BACK YARD OR IN THE NEIGHBORS."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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

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.

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.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.

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.
