"Kory Melton called me in late October 2023 after learning from Angi that I was looking for a handyman to paint my newly built storage building. He came to my house the next day to look at my project and we agreed on a price of $400.00. Kory came back out in early November. 2023 and painted the exterior of my storage building but did not paint the door because he needed to fix it with some plywood he said he had at home. He worked that day about 4 hours then we sat on my front steps and talked about his family and his upcoming hunting trip. He said he would be gone for a couple of weeks and when he got back, he would bring the materials and fix the door and paint it. It was at that point that I paid him the $400.00 in cash, our agreed amount, and he told me that the payment included his fixing and finishing the job. I waited a month and I did not hear from him so I called and sent him several texts to find out when he was coming to finish my job. I have the last text dated January 2024 in which he said he would come back or send his helper when he got the chance.. To date, he has not been back and my job has NOT been completed! I have been very patient but now I want him to do what he agreed to d"

Childproofing services FAQs

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.

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 average cost of childproofing services is $410. This cost can range from $190 to $630 or more, depending on the size of your home and what services you need. 

The location of the childproofing additions also plays a vital role in the overall cost. For example, a bathroom is relatively small and costs about $150 to fully childproof. However, if you have a swimming pool, you could spend as much as $1,500 to $10,000 to make it entirely safe for small children, including adding a pool fence.

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.
