Baby-Proofing Installation in Silver Spring | Property Renovators Handyman Services

Baby-proofing done right means more than plastic outlet covers. Jacob walks the home, identifies real hazards, and installs safety gates, cabinet locks, furniture anchors, and outlet protection so the house is actually safe -- not just checked off a list. Silver Spring has a wide range of home ages. Jacob has worked in older Four Corners homes and newer construction near Downtown Silver Spring.

Silver Spring has a dense mix of older townhomes, mid-century single-family homes, and newer condos. Jacob and his crew work across all of it. The older stock near Four Corners and Colesville often has maintenance issues that newer construction does not.

Jacob holds MHIC #112963, Maryland's home improvement contractor license. Licensed and insured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Outlet covers, cabinet and drawer locks, safety gates at stairways, furniture tip-over straps, door pinch guards, and toilet locks. Jacob installs whatever the homeowner has purchased. Silver Spring has a wide range of home ages. Jacob has worked in older Four Corners homes and newer construction near Downtown Silver Spring.

No. The homeowner supplies the products. Jacob provides the installation labor and the expertise to identify where each item should go.

A full home walk-through and installation takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of rooms and items.

Pressure gates use tension against two walls and are fine at the bottom of stairs. Hardware gates screw into the wall and are required at the top of stairs where a falling gate would be dangerous.

Furniture straps mount to the wall stud and the furniture. Jacob locates the studs and installs the straps so they hold in a real tip-over scenario.

Magnetic locks are invisible from outside the cabinet and cannot be defeated by small fingers. Spring-latch locks are faster to open for adults. Jacob installs either type.

Most full-home installations run around $240 for labor. Larger homes or more complex installs are priced accordingly. Jacob gives an exact number after walking the space.
