Lowery Custom Carpentry is the business entity for the general carpentry practice of John Lowery. I am a career carpenter who focuses on the carpentry side of the business. This means that I am not focused on subcontracting, hiring crews, or taking on ever larger jobs. I work one job at a time and I personally run my jobs. I have a broad and growing hands on knowledge of my trade. My career goal is to be an expert master carpenter. I enjoy using my skills and experience to meet the challenges of improving and repairing modern homes. I will use subcontractors as needed to complete a given job, but they are always working under my direct personal supervision. I currently do not have any employees, but have in the past and may again in the future. Often I maintain better quality control by doing the work myself. I have been in business for over 11 years and have received steady business from word of mouth customer referrals to friends and neighbors, and repeat customers. I run a completely legal business and comply, to the best of my knowledge, with all applicable laws and regulations to my trade. I pay all taxes and fees as they are assessed by our various layers of government and do not operate in the underground economy on a "cash and carry" or "under the table" style. Anyone who works on my job sites is sober, legal, and respectful. I like to do business with people who share my standards of honesty. In fact, I think it is the only thing more important than the quality of the work itself. As for pricing, I will work by the hour or by the job. Each job is unique and some lend themselves better to one or the other. My goal here, as in all areas, is for the customer to be comfortable, knowledgeable, and satisfied.

"John is a wonderful, honest contractor. The work he did is very good. We had new screens installed (using the ScreenEze system) on a porch built by a previous owner - every single opening (10 of them) was of a slightly different size. He also installed 2 new screen doors, 2 new ceiling fans, and fixed a leak in the porch roof that cropped up just before he started the job. He also helped me create a new cat door (in one of the screen openings) that opened into a new outdoor cat pen for my indoor cat who wants some access to the outside."

Let me introduce myself. My name is Bill Schmitt and I am the owner of Bowie Home Improvements Inc. We are a small, full service home improvement company that specializes in the installation of select custom kitchens and bathrooms. We also perform any type of general renovation and home improvements including additions, basements, decks, porches, sun room, screen porches and structural work. I relocated my business from New York to Maryland and I have been a professional home improvement contractor for over 27 years. Bowie Home Improvements Inc. was started in January of 1987. When I relocated my business I decided to keep things small. In New York my company had on average from 10 to 15 employees. The reason I decided to stay small was so that every client would benefit from my personal involvement on every project. I found that my clients were much happier with this approach. This approach worked so well that most of my business has been from referrals since 1995, we do little advertising. Being a small company I can offer you rapid pricing on any project you may have. Immediate contact with me is always available via my personal cell phone as I understand how important that is to you. I am an expert at project problem solving and installation. My team is able to perform structural, electrical, plumbing, ceramic tile, trim, cabinets, custom modifications and much more. My pricing is competitive and I believe I am very easy to work with. If you are looking for professional design, installation and construction for any of your projects, feel free to give me a call. I would be happy to meet with you and answer any questions you may have .

"It went very well. The workmen immediately realized we needed roof repairs as well as skylights to finally stop the leaks. We've had other repairs done that didn't hold and were glad to find out what the real problem was. Bill and his workers were responsive, efficient, and pleasant to deal with. They explained the steps to us, wasted no time, and cleaned up after each day."

We Can Fix That does just that - fixes just about any kind of problem you have in your home... With the house itself, that is... I am the only employee, I hire sub-contractors or other laborers as needed. I am always on-site with my workers, unless I'm going out for materials or to pick up lunch. I live in Hamilton, MD, so any jobs done in the 21206 zip code do not have trip charges. As the distance grows, so may the trip charge, depending on the job. For small projects ( less than a whole days work) I charge by the hour, starting at $40 per hour and going up for more specialized work. For projects that take more than one effort day, I generally quote it fixed-price. I do glass blowing as a hobby; there is a glass shop near here where I rent shop time to make gifts mostly for family and friends.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
