Fantastically. Mike is beyond meticulous! His came in early and under budget, and the work he did is second to none, cleaning up after himself every step of the way.
Description of Work: We hired Palmetto to evaluate our home and we so impressed with Mike's honesty, professionalism, evaluation and estimate, that we then hired him to child proof our home. It required cabinet and drawer protections, door locks, gates. He came up with ideas to create zones an maximize the protection without spending a fortune.

He was very professional. We contacted him on a Tuesday and the work was done by Friday. We would highly recommend him!
Description of Work: We have a black iron staircase and it was hard to find gates that matched as well as those that would fit properly. Mike came out and did a fantastic job. He has his own supply of things and can customize anything to your liking.

Mike was nothing short of terrific. I contacted him by email and got a response within 12 hours (I tend to email late night) - he was very responsive and clear by email and provided me a quote by looking at pictures of our stairs (baluster on left, molding on right, gate nightmare!). We set up an appointment that worked great for me and likely meant he left his house before 7am. He arrived a couple minutes early, was very friendly and knowledgeable, explained to me exactly what he was going to do and how everything worked. I felt comfortable enough to leave him to lock up the house as I headed to work. Came home to a beautifully done job, even my very picky husband loved it - the installation is simply perfect and worth every penny! Note: although it took him more than the 3 hours quoted to install, he matched his quote
Description of Work: Installed a bottom and top of the stairs gate

My first contact with Palmetto was with his wife Kim on the phone. She could not have been friendlier, more helpful and professional. Mike got back to me right away and was able to quickly make an appointment to install the gate. He called to say he would be about 15 minutes late, which I really appreciated! He was well-prepared, knowledgable, professional and did what I never could have done - installed a gate on an angle with 5-inch baseboards in the way! He was extremely candid and pointed out a couple of other obvious safety concerns which I immediately took care of. I cannot say enough good things about Mike and Kim and Palmetto Childproofing. You won't be sorry if you go with them!!
Description of Work: Mike came and installed a top-of-the-stairs baby gate.

We had a great experience with Palmetto Childproofing. Mike was professional, on time and completed a thorough review of our home. He also made suggestions for additional steps we could take on our own in addition to his services. He was very helpful identifying all the opportunities for better safety in our home. We definitely feel like we have more peace of mind after their services.
Description of Work: We hired Palmetto Childproofing to perform childproofing on all cabinets and doors in our new home. This included drawers, cabinets, certain closet doors as well as replacing all door stops and strapping furniture to the walls.

Palmetto Childproofing did a fantastic job designing a safety gate solution that could provide protection for our 7-month old son and accommodate the unusual alignment of walls and handrails that make up our home's staircase. Owner/installer Mike arrived early, explained his home survey results clearly and candidly, and did an expert job installing the new safety gates at the bottom and top of our staircase. What we appreciated most is that Mike did not try to scare us into buying every childproofing product on the market, nor did he make us feel as if our house is a death trap for babies. Instead, he pointed out some obvious and not-so-obvious safety hazards and suggested courses of action to mitigate their risk. Overall, Palmetto Childproofing was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend their services.
Description of Work: Palmetto Childproofing provided an in-home consultation and designed, configured and installed child safety gates at the top and bottom of our home's staircase. The job was particularly challenging due to the unusual alignment of walls and handrails.
