Hal did a great job. He recommended various options and let us know which things were really important and which were more optional. He did a great job installing gates with extra wood so it wouldn't damage our banisters and wood work. He was very clean and pleasant and left no mess. When one gate didn't work smoothly, he promptly came back out and replaced it and fixed the problem with no charge. He even re-hung our son's closet door so that it would close smoothly and not pinch fingers.
Description of Work: Child proofed entire house/condo (four floors).

Hal Norman did a great job. He secured our shelves, cabinet doors, a lamp, drawers, a big mirror, and a few other items. He installed a special safety gate to fit an oddly shaped hallway entrance, and he also came up with clever solutions to help camouflage some of the childproofing. If we had tried to do all this ourselves, it would have taken us a lot longer and would not have been done as well. We are glad that our home is much safer for our son now!
Description of Work: Childproofing our home for our toddler.

Hal was very professional, prompt, thorough, and did excellent work. He did not suggest any unreasonable ideas and helped us by thinking of areas we would not have thought of until it may have been too late. Everything looks discreet. One gate installed at our staircase was mounted on an extra piece of wood so that it would not damage the railing. He also did a great job cleaning up after himself. He was also great with working around my son's sleep schedule. That was much appreciated! I will use his services again in our next home someday.
Description of Work: Installed four gates, installed magnet locks on all cabinets, installed lock on wine fridge, locks on many doors. Secured two dressers to wall, one toilet lock, sold us one fire escape ladder. Installed most electrical outlets. Provided covers for VCR & DVD players. Installed plexy glass over fireplaces.

Hal knows his stuff. We are pleased with the quality of workmanship and responsive Hal has provided. Hal has excellent recommendations and always takes into account customers requests and ideas. Hal has great ideas of his own and is neither pushy or overly 'salesman-like' when it comes to products.
Description of Work: Installed and customized all babyproofing for 4200 sq ft home. 6 gates, 1 play yard, all cabinet and drawer locks.

HE WAS CREATIVE, HE MADE EVERYTHING LOOK VERY GOOD, AND IT WAS A FANTASTIC VALUE FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE RECEIVED. MY SISTER HAD SIMILAR PROOFING DONE AND IT COST NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH. HE TOLD ME THINGS I DID NEED AND TOLD ME WHICH THINGS I DIDN'T NEED. IT WAS A LARGE PROJECT AND IT TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY.
Description of Work: HE DID CHILD PROOFING FOR OUR ENTIRE HOME (4 STORIES).
