Independent veteran owned handyman service, bilingual services in Spanish and English available. I specialize in house repairs and remodeling, anything from bathrooms and plumbing, to walls and electrical. Working as a generator mechanic in the Army has afforded me the ability to make small appliance repairs as well. I pride myself on ability to problem solve efficiently and to work quickly without compromising quality. There is no job too small.

"I hired AstraBuild to install pre-hunt french doors in the transition area between a living and dining room. The doors were a little larger than the opening. But Alfredo and his team did a great job working with the space, getting the door installed right, and took care of adding pieces of trim to make the whole area look beautiful. He also installed two pre-hung interior bedroom doors for me, installed new stair railings, and fixed two closet doors that were no longer sliding open/close. He was very punctual and easy to work with. I will definitely hire them again!"

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.
