"Nick and Gerado(Jerry), did an absolute awesome job. It was quick and they were professional. They respected the property to the tune of even asking me if they needed to take off their shoes to enter and work in my home. It was a great experience. There was even a third piece of my couch that came a day late smh and still with Nick returning, the project was completed with care. Thanks again! I will always refer you to others who definitely need your assistance!"

"Mr. Temple installed a screened-in porch and an outdoor electrical outlet. I was struck by his attention to detail and professionalism throughout the project which he completed promptly on time and on budget. He is also excellent at communicating his plans and provides options to complete the task. I would definitely work with him again and would recommend him without reservation."

"Our experience with Mr. Handyman of South Montgomery County was excellent all around. They have a good answering service and scheduling system and are very good at communicating with the customer. We had a leak in our first floor ceiling with water apparently coming out of the tub in the master bath through the ground and out of the ceiling fan on the floor underneath. We had a similar leak several years ago, which had resulted in us having to renovate the bathroom upstairs (bc the precise source of the leak could not be found) and we feared that it would be as big a job again. Dan Hastings, who is the proprietor of Mr. Handyman of SMC, came out himself to do an insurance estimate for diagnosing the leak and fixing it if the issue was in the pipes or between floors. (Not including possible tilework or major renovations of the bathroom upstairs.) The estimate was quite reasonable and we agreed that Mr. Handyman of SMC would start first by cutting open the ceiling and trying to fix the leak from below. Antonio came to do the work yesterday and he is great. He was on time, respected COVID-19 protocols, works quickly, and is nice and friendly, but most importantly he found the source of the leak and fixed it! When he first cut into the ceiling, he learned that the water wasn't coming from any of the pipes and it appeared to be coming from the wall above. (Our two bathrooms and showers/bathtubs are back to back and share a wall meaning that there is no place to cut into the wet wall without cutting tile.) Before cutting any tile, however, he investigated the area from within the bathrooms and correctly deduced that there was a broken metal/brass fitting behind the tub spout. How he figured that out, I have no idea. But he was able to replace the fitting and address the leak through the spout opening. No more leak and no expensive tile work! Antonio also moved the ceiling fan that was downstairs (which he discovered was incorrectly installed and not anchored in a stud when he removed it to investigate the leak) and installed it in a bedroom upstairs and took down the old ceiling fan in that bedroom. The ceiling fan is working great. Antonio also drywalled the ceiling, not only where he had to cut the hole to investigate the leak, but also because the water had led to a seam line in other parts of the ceiling. We're going to paint the whole house soon, so we didn't ask him to paint, but he was willing to do that as well. The drywall and mud look very flush to the ceiling and he left the ceiling ready for painting. Finally, Antonio gave us some good advice on other electrical matters while he was here, which helped us to address an issue with a light fixture that we had. Overall, this was a great experience and a major relief that we don't have to retile parts or all of our master bath. Thank you, Antonio and Mr. Handyman!"

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
