Patterson Electrical Service Inc is a local electrical company, that is dedicated to distinguishing itself from the rest by providing the highest level of quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. This is so true that we have worked for 12+ years on referral alone! Unlike most "hit and run" contractors we frequently return to our customer's home to view and inspect the work we did previously. This allows us to continually improve our end product, and in most cases the project looks just like the day we finished!

"I was a bit naive when the job was completed in 2015. After 11,000 dollars I can say it was the single worst use of money on my house. Although the garage is sound, he installed (his son for the most part actually) new siding on the garage and it's just not complete. No Caulking, not properly nailed down or secured. Scott told me several times if I ever wasn't happy with something to give him a call. I've tried reaching him now since June with no response about putting some nails and caulk to finish the siding job. Other pros who did the roof and some other work all questioned who repaired the garage and ask me if I did it myself. Not a good sign."

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.

Many parents, especially first-time parents, agree that professional childproofing is worth it. These professional childproofing services are trained to recognize dangerous home situations that many people would overlook until it's too late. Furthermore, professional childproofing experts have access to top-of-the-line equipment you can't purchase at most stores, providing longevity and peace of mind.

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.
