"Mike is hands down the best handyman around. First off, he's an honest guy. We were looking for a deal on an air conditioner installment so we figured Mike could do the job and we would buy the unit & save some money. When we asked him, he was up front and said have the company you buy it from to do the install and get the warranty. Honest answer from a good guy. We have used his services for three years as have several of our neighbors. He is timely, responsible, and his work is great. We've hired him for garage door repair, to fix broken windows, electrical work, powerwashing, you name it. The neighbors we have referred to Mike are very glad to have him ad a handyman ad well."

"Jordan & Enmi (Husband & Wife team), were prompt, professional and very courteous. They came to remove a large tree branch, all its debris and clean up. Here are some before and after pics. They did an awesome job, and the estimate was extremely fair, & well within or below my budget. I have already hired them to repair/replace the fence damage. On to shed damage next, which I am almost positive I will be having them do as well. On step at a time."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I feel like Steve went above and beyond on the project he did for us. He fixed our front door where we had dry rot around the door frame and under the window above. He also adjusted our door so it opened and closed properly, painted the trim & door inside and out and updated our weather stripping. He was very dependable and we will definitely hire him again."

"Freddy did an amazing job. He was prompt with coming out to provide an estimate, he completed the work in 3 days, and the work was perfect. The ceiling at my mother's house collapsed and you would never know based on the work he did. We're ready to hire him for our next project."

I've had many different jobs from electric,pluming, small repairs on anything.\nIm very detailed oriented, I pride on finding different problems before they become into huge problems down the road and make recommendations. I've been working at my job installing and repairing dental equipment for 8 years so I have my hands on installing and repairing plumbing,air and hydraulics on a daily. I also install cabinets in offices .

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

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.
