You know all those odd jobs you could probably do yourself, but can't seem to find the time? We can help! No need to procrastinate, just give us a call and we'll have that project that has been hanging over your head done when you get home from work. In 1991 Bruce caught the "remodeling bug" when he purchased his 120 year old home in need of love and attention. He realized that he enjoyed the challenge of making something "old" become new again. Bruce spent 30 years as an industrial, graphic designer and excellent problem solver and diversified knowledge of building materials, process and repairs. Bruce began to see a need for busy homeowners. They needed to have someone dependable to do all those jobs around the home that just somehow never get done. He envisioned a "handyman" type of service that would show up on time, do quality work and charge a fair price. This is how "Thank You Handyman" came to life. Bruce's dedication to customer satisfaction and commitment to excellence! SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES OFFERED. www.thank-you-handyman.com

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
