"Douglas was hired to get my pool cleaned and ready for swimming. The pool looked like a swamp when he came to give me an estimate. His estimate was a good price so we hired him. He did a fantastic job. He worked very hard trying to get my pool swimmable. He came several days and worked for hours scooping leaves and stuff out of the pool. He scrubbed and vacuumed many times. In the end, he did it and I was very happy. He is one of the hardest working men I have ever seen. Great personality and feels like family. I would recommend him for any job. I will have more work for him in the future. 5 stars."

"Man sent to do various odd jobs in Germantown--install blinds, TV mount, cabinet, etc.--was efficient and easy to communicate with. Did exactly what I needed with quality work and kept me informed of any problems he encountered. Price was reasonable."

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."

"Summary: We hired them to do a handful of tasks prior to selling our home. They are a good combination of professional attitude and skilled workers. Will, the owner, is very hands on and makes sure the job is done right. Full Review: We had a laundry list of items we wanted to have completed before putting our house on the market. We asked if Will could itemize them in his estimate in case doing all of them was too expensive. It turns out, the price was so reasonable we wound up getting all of it done! Will and Robert performed the work and did an excellent job. It took them just over a day and wound up being very close to the estimate. Again, it's so easy to work with a contractor who is skilled and has a professional attitude. Trust me, they don't all possess both! This was the second time we've hired them and they are 2 for 2.

40 years experience in building, repairing, remodeling, inspecting, deck, porches, gazebos, walkways, roofs. New, existing, needing repairs, I solve issues and make things right. Not production. Each job is custom handled. Inspections are $100-250 with a full document and photo report and solution to the issue. Have me fix the issue and the inspection is free. I have seen everything, good and bad and have taken care of thousands problem deck and porches. I see what most don't even think about. Sounds like a sales pitch? It is, lol. I am 60 yo and still love getting dirty and just well, know my stuff. Lot's of referrals if needed. Best to Please Text Me First and tell me your name! Too many solicitor calls and I rarely answer if I don't know the number, which happens every day, all day. I will promptly text you back and ask You, what a good time to call back might be. Located In Mt Airy, Frederick County, but will travel to Howard, Carroll and MoCo, no prob. I am the person who gets calls after someone else has made things worse, so call before that happens please. Most contractors in the area know me and will also recommend me as they don't have the time for small jobs that require Patience. That's it! Hope to hear from anyone in need soon as me and my guys are always ready.

"Beautiful work, very detail. I would definitely recommend him."

We provide excellent customer service to all of our customers. My business is built on the premise of family relationships for life. When we meet a potential customer, we want to develop a life long friendship. Thank you, Antonio Christiano

"Looks great! Had carpet removed from 2 hallways. They were able to find wood to match the wood on the stairs. The look is a seemless transition from stairs to halls. Looks as if it were hardwood to begin with. Really happy with the end result."

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

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.

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.
