"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."

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 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.

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.

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.

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
