"This contractor was hired by my 67 year old mother. Contractor was very attentive at first. Paid for 1/2 the project up front. He then started missing a day here or there. Would not return phone calls. Then would just show up one day, work for a few hours thenhen disappear again. Sometimes for weeks at a time. He was to redo my brick fireplace and after the 3rd try, me guessing he had know idea what or how to do what I was wanting and instead of telling me this he just kept getting deeper into trouble. He then asked for additional money for the carpet. I have not heard from him since. A 7-10 day project has turned into 90+ days and it is still not completed. My aluminum outlets were replaced by him with Copper and the special glue that is to go on the wiring was omitted! FIRE HAZARD. He was to hang a ceiling fan and there was no ceiling fan support box installed. It would have fallen if he would have installed. Stay away from this contractor. I have had another contract try and contact him for my carpet that I paid for and he will not return that phone call either."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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 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.
