Avalon Handyman Services is a locally owned and operated small business operating in the Branson area for over 15 years. We take pride in the work that we do and you are guaranteed to be satisfied with the quality of the work we do. Our business has been built on years of repeat clientele and we look forward to earning your business today and in the future. One thing I have found very important in this industry is the importance of follow up. We keep in constant contact before, during and after our work is complete.

"Needed a contractor that would handle a small renovation that involved removing an existing door and replacing it with a larger one and it proved to be a difficult task until I tried using Home Advisor. Almost immediately after posting the job, I was contacted by Brett Michel of Avalon Services. Within a few short days, he visited our home, surveyed the project, and provided a very reasonable estimate. A week later, he was on site to begin the task. Brett is extremely knowledgeable about home repairs, is meticulous in his work, and very considerate of his clients. The remodeling and repairs were done quickly and to perfection. I highly recommend Avalon Services for just about any home remodeling project without reservation."

As a military spouse and mother of three, I am well versed. While my day-to-day involves selling real estate, I have gained many skills and practice in other things along the way. Need a one-time deep clean before a big event, or looking for regular upkeep? I handle standard and continuous cleaning jobs efficiently. I also take on simple handyman tasks, including: Furniture assembly (IKEA, etc.) Indoor painting Childproofing Organization Repairs around the home (i.e. changing out faucet fixtures, outlets, basic lighting, minor drywall repairs, etc.) Whether it's getting your space sparkling or tackling that to-do list, I’m here to provide quality work to help you network and take the burden off your shoulders. Let me know how I can help!

"Beth did a wonderful job. She showed up exactly when we agreed to meet, and showed a level of attentiveness and professionalism that I’ve yet to see in any other cleaning service. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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 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

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.
