Q: How will a professional childproof my home?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>Some ways a childproofing professional will make your home safe include:</p><ul><li><p>Anchoring large furniture </p></li><li><p>Installing safety gates</p></li><li><p>Installing safety latches on cabinets and drawers </p></li><li><p>Covering railings that could trap a child</p></li><li><p>Covering electrical outlets </p></li><li><p>Installing a swimming pool fence</p></li><li><p>Removing or covering electrical cords where possible</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can I childproof my home myself?

• <div><p>In many cases, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/babyproofing-your-home.htm">DIY home childproofing</a> with success. You can purchase childproofing tools like cabinet locks, outlet covers, and table-edge guards and install them easily. </p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Are tamper-resistant outlets the same as childproof?

• <div><p>While tamper-resistant outlets are effective at protecting children from the dangerous electrical outlets, few things can be truly <i>childproof</i>. 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.</p></div>

Q: When should I hire a childproofing professional?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is professional childproofing worth it?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Absolutely great. Josh is amiable, really knows his stuff and even educated me on specs of our gas fireplace that I never knew. And that makes the fireplace even more enjoyable. To top it off, his fee was quite reasonable. Can't go wrong with Josh and his business!

I have had Chris help me with a TV antenna. He came several years ago, again to help with a related issue and recently to help with a new antenna. He is quick to respond and schedule an appointment. Also, he works hard and will not quit until things are working right! Highly recommend.

Cenia and her crew went above and beyond. Their work ethic is very strong, as they worked past sunset to finish the job. I hired them to do some painting and power washing and they overdelivered! They had an incredible attention to detail - the whole house looks amazing. Definitely recommend...
