Handyman with over 10yrs framing experience building houses from the foundation to the roof. Including everything from forming and pouring the footings and stem walls to complete siding and shingle installation. I also have more than 14yrs with local 26 as a union electrician where I successfully completed a 5yr accredited apprenticeship program through the IBEW . I pride myself with my attention to detail and the fact that I don't and won't cut corners. You can rest assured that your task will be done properly, professionally and in complete compliance with any and all applicable local code requirements. I am constantly learning and educating myself with the most up to date building practices as well as implementing and working with all different types of building materials. I am here to help check things off of that ever growing list and to build lasting professional relationships along the way. Integrity is huge in my mind and I stand behind every project that I am a part of.

"I love this company, so courteous, so polite, no cussing, very attentive, and patient with me. This was very important to me, I'm old and loose my train of thought, they were all very respectful, this is so uncommon in the world today. They were on time. They were fast, and did a really good job on everything, and my list was long. They fixed my barn door, my railing for my stairs in the shop, did drywall on my ceiling in the garage, painted my decks and fixed my eave on the playhouse. I would love for them to come our house in Oregon! I would make them my permanent Handyman!!!"

"Very professional team. Accommodated my changes without hesitation and offered his opinion when I was unsure of something. I was originally just going to have a store bought flimsy gazebo put up but decided to do a hard cover with new paio. Grizzly Construction showed up on time , handled the City planning requirements, cleaned up and respected our property. I also had them install a 7x7 shed from HD and was impressed with his knowledge of the City regulaions that we needed to follow. I highly recommend and will call for all future projects!"

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.

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 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.

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.

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
