"TnT built our new construction small home, including framing, siding, roofing, insulation, drywall, tile work, cabinet installation, and other miscellaneous items. Their coordination with other subcontractors' schedules (plumbing, electric, garage door installers, etc) was impeccable. Their attention to detail and eye for material usage was very wallet-friendly (and eco-friendly, too!) Their years of experience and knowledge were also very helpful in helping us make certain decisions along the way. Overall, TnT was extremely knowledgeable, fast, considerate, and have us high-quality work and results."

After serving the Greater Boston and MetroWest markets for 14 years, Handyman Matters of Greater Boston is excited to join forces with ACE Hardware to re-brand as ACE Handyman Service Greater Boston! ACE Handyman Services has been serving the Greater Boston and MetroWest areas since 2005. In that time we have completed over 6,000 jobs for more than 2,500 customers. We are proud that 50% of our on-going business comes from customers we've done business with in the past. We are an 11-time Super Service Award winner!

"One word…Awesome! The whole experience was painless. I initially submitted an online request for a quote and by answering some simple questions as well as uploading a few photos of what I needed done, I was then contacted by a really kind woman in their Lexington office. She provided a quote and set me up with a handyman named Matt who was absolutely amazing to work with! Matt was very professional and knowledgeable. He took time to explain to me what he was doing at various stages of the projects. One project consisted of removing an ugly weather-beaten decorative piece off the face of my house. Matt not only removed the decorative piece, but took the time to clean the vinyl! The other consisted of removing and replacing cracked vinyl siding that was potentially allowing rain to get behind the vinyl. Matt took the initiative to build a water deflector that steered the water to my gutter instead. I’ll let the before and after pictures speak for themselves."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
