Hi Everyone, I'm Ian and I'm launching Old Salt Handyman. I'm a licensed and insured Home Improvement Contractor performing repairs on existing one- to four-unit, residences on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I retired from the Coast Guard a few years ago and am excited to start my own small business leveraging the skills I honed during my 20+ years of service.

"I can't say enough good things about Ian the Old Salt Handyman! When I needed someone to tackle the quirks of my 100+ year old home, Ian was not only prompt and resourceful but also incredibly creative in his solutions. He addressed every issue with skill and efficiency, leaving me thoroughly impressed with the results. What I love most is that Ian is a part of our community. It's reassuring to know that if anything urgent pops up, I have a reliable local resource to turn to. His dedication to quality work and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. I highly recommend Ian for anyone looking for a dependable handyman who goes above and beyond!"

Sawyer Solutions is founded by owner and operator Kevin Sawyer who has been in the construction business for 5 years. We offer small carpentry and handyman jobs that the big contractors don't make time for. We would be pleased to assist you with your home needs.

"Working with Kevin was great - he was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. He took the time to complete each job well (roller blinds, paint patch up, furniture repair). I would definitely work with Kevin again and recommend to others."

We help families throughout New England childproof their swimming pools. With over 25 years of experience in the child safety industry, we install the Protect-A-Child Pool Fence because we believe it offers the best in safety, quality and construction. We take our work very seriously and our client relationships go much deeper than simply making a sale. We pride ourselves in our exceptional customer service. You can feel peace of mind knowing that we’ll be there for you from the first call through the completed installation.

"I had considered trying to do this job myself (well having my step-father do it), but after seeing a video review of the strength of the various "DIY" polls vs. the Protect-A-Child fence I decided to try and find a vendor to install it. I came across Susan and Jeff and am so happy that I did. They were really easy to communicate with, and offered some great suggestions that ended up changing the way we wanted to have the fence configured. Jeff came and had it installed in a half day, connecting up against an existing fence. Really happy we went with this company, any extra money over what a DIY version would have cost was certainly saved in stress and time."

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.

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

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.

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.
