"I highly recommend SURV of Hillsboro and Gaston Suarez for their professionalism, communication, and quality workmanship. For this particular project, Gaston coordinated directly with the tenants in my home to replace the hood above the stove. I live out of state, so it was important for me to work with someone I trust to manage the details. Gaston responded very quickly to my call and was able to review the project the very next day. After coordinating with my tenants’ schedule, he visited the home to assess the job and promptly communicated his findings back to me along with a clear quote. He then procured the new hood and worked directly with the tenants to complete the installation. The hood was installed and vented properly, and Gaston also added some finishing cosmetic touches to ensure the final result looked clean and aesthetically pleasing. Gaston and his team did an excellent job. They were extremely punctual, completed the work within just a couple of days, and left the"

I help with the technical and physical projects around the house that you may not have the time or tools for. I've spent years figuring out how things work and how to fix them, so I focus on finding the most efficient and durable solution for whatever is in front of me. I handle everything from furniture assembly and home theater setups to swapping out light fixtures, faucets, and general maintenance.\n\nI try to work within a roughly 50-mile radius of Portland; covering Vancouver, Hillsboro, out as far as Gov't Camp, down toward Salem, etc. My goals are customer service and communication; honesty and clarity, and I treat your home and any belongings I'd touch with, at minimum, the same care and cleanliness as my own.

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.

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are a safe and effective way to protect children from electrical hazards. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the outlet slots when not in use, preventing a child from inserting foreign objects. While they are the safest option available, it's important to note that few things can be considered truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug, so constant supervision around any electrical device is recommended. Tamper-resistant outlets are a much safer solution than childproofing covers, which can be removed by children and may pose a choking hazard.

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

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.
