Description of Work: Safety matters made two custom wooden gates for my staircases. They matched the paint color to my walls and stain to my floors (I provided the paint and stain name). They are beautiful, durable, and I get complemented on them all the time. Though expensive for the custom gates, it looks sophisticated and since both the stairs leading to the basement and the second floor are in my foyer, I felt it was worth it.

Description of Work: I received a free estimate. I have 4 floors and 10 rooms to think about. Larry went through everything and provided a full list of what he suggests. He saw what I had (4 doorway gates) and with his help and what I had in mind, I narrowed it down. We installed 2 gates without drilling into the wood banisters, replaced 8 door stops, protected our square coffee table and added a furniture strap for the tv. In super happy with the quality and timing.

Description of Work: The head guy walked around the apartment and showed us everything that could be dangerous for young kids, for free, while making notes. Then we had a tech came out who was super-patient and friendly, explained different options they had for making the dangerous stuff in the apartment safe, installed exactly what we asked him to, and left the rest for us. Very clear they were there to help us--not overbearing or preachy in any way. Just answered our concerns, did whatever work we asked them to. Highly recommended.
