"I cannot recommend Bob Phalan highly enough! I originally hired him to fix a few doors in my home that I thought were warped and wouldn’t close properly. It turned out the problem was more complicated than I expected—the door frames weren’t aligned correctly—but Bob quickly assessed the situation, explained the issue clearly, and developed a plan to fix everything. He worked efficiently and effectively, and now all the doors operate perfectly. Bob is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also personable and easy to work with. He took the time to explain what he was doing as he went, which I really appreciated. On top of that, his pricing was very fair—no surprises, just excellent work. The combination of his professionalism, expertise, and friendly demeanor makes this a full 5-star experience from start to finish!"

"The job William and his team did for me was phenomenal . They removed old kitchen cabinets, prepared the walls, fixed a few spots, mounted new cabinets, new dishwasher and other items. They were fully equipped, including with an impressive laser measuring device for a perfect measurement accuracy., I very much appreciated Williams daily update on the progress. The project was completed on-time as predicted Michael A."

"After an exhaustive search for a contractor to remodel our 3 bathrooms, we selected Keith and his team based on his approach, his experience, the cost, and for one really important reason. Keith is as authentic of a person that I have ever met. During the scoping process, Keith provided allowances, which allowed me and my wife to understand the estimate and understand what levers we had to pull. Keith provided candid feedback on our ideas and used his vast experience to share alternatives. After vetting other contractors, Keith was a pleasure to work with out of the gates. The scheduling of the work was not an easy task, as we were tackling 3 bathrooms sequentially. Keith was able to keep the schedule on track and have his team (carpenters, plumbers, electrician) show up when he said they would show up. If there was a change to the plan, he let us know as soon as he found out. Keith also did a great job with the building inspector and making sure there was no lost time with each inspection. The craftsmanship of Keith and his team is extraordinary. They were able to do things that other contractors said couldn't be done or and never tried to convince us to do something "easier". Keith took our plans and made them a reality. From the tilework, to the finish carpentry, to the plumbing and electrical, everything was done top notch. What was even more impressive, was that during the entire project, Keith and his team were personable, approachable, and respectful. Overall, Keith and his team delivered on their estimate, made changes when asked to, accommodated additional asks, and did it all professionally. It was a pleasure to have Keith and his team to make our dreams come to life. We would most definitely consider Keith for additional work, as he is very good at this craft and is a very nice, sincere, and authentic person."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.
