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."

New business looking to build a brand. For all your construction or home improvement needs. No job to big or small!

"Project took longer than expected even with a team of 4-5 guys in and out a day. Everything that went wrong or caused them delay was somehow our houses fault or the items we bought to be replaced. We bought sticky floor plastic to put down on our floors/stairs after 2 days because the floor covering they were using were useless and was causing our carpet to get stains. At times we could hear team members complaining about the job which was very unprofessional since we were paying them. When the shower head and handle were installed it was not attached to anything so the wall would just bend in if lightly pushed. This was fixed after my husband brought it up. Early on we expressed our concerned for the drywall finishing on one side of the shower but we’ were assured it would be fixed and smoothed out but was not the case and was just painted over and left. Paid 200$ for trim/ install and some was left scratched up and unfinished. The sanding/ painting is very sloppy and left unfinished in my opinion. After they claimed complete went to take a shower and had no hot water. Informed them and was told I they thought it was our hot water heater when actually it was because the plumber didn’t check the setting of the handle befor leaving. He had to come back to adjust. Not even 24hours after they “completed” our bathroom the transition strips came off and we had to attach them ourselves. The bathroom door wouldn’t shut and needed to be trimmed we let them know but there was no response. Do not pay until you are 100% happy with their work or you may be ghosted."

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.

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

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.
