"Hired him to assemble a standing desk, office chair, and printer stand — and couldn't be happier. He showed up on time, worked efficiently, and put everything together perfectly. The quality of the build was excellent and the price was very fair. Would hire again without hesitation. Highly recommend!"

"I hired Daniel to upgrade the wiring and install a grounded outlet in an 80 year old house to accept a refrigerator. He did an excellent job, and went through the whole house and identified the wiring, what type, which fuses are connected to which outlets (something that two other very experienced electricians were unable to do). While wiring is safe there were some very circuirtuous and unexpected routes taken in this old house which, in one evening, he was able to figure out. He will be doing a lot more electrical work for me. My first experience with Danny's work was when a huge tree fell on my property. He removed the tree for a very good price, sawed it neatly into logs and even swept out the lawn after removal. He also does moving (excellent rates) he will be doing this week for me, fixes sliding glass doors, drywall and carpentry work. He is a jack of all trades trained by his father (who owned a contracting buiness) from a young age. Forgot to mention, one of his primary businesses is as a locksmith and he put in the lock on my front door. For most jobs large and small, no need to look further."

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or 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.
