I would not hire Bobby for babyproofing installation. Bobby…read moreperformed the installation in my home while he was working with Safe Start Child. My consultation with Safe Start had been professional and reassuring, so I expected a careful, thorough installation. Instead, my experience with Bobby was rushed, dismissive, and sloppy. He seemed irritated when I asked questions or pointed out safety concerns that needed attention, including cords, power strips, doors, outlets, and furniture. Rather than walking through the home and helping me make informed decisions, he made me feel like I was inconveniencing him. The work had multiple problems. Cord covers were installed awkwardly and incompletely, exposed cords were left behind, outlets were missed, and I had to spend my own time correcting parts of the work after he left. A stair gate was installed in a way that interfered with my bedroom door and banged loudly when opened. Door lock decisions were rushed, and I ended up with products that were hard to use and missed doors that still needed locks. Most upsetting, Bobby damaged my electric fireplace by screwing visible metal L-brackets directly into the top of the mantle. This was an expensive piece of furniture and a focal point in my bedroom. A shelving unit was also anchored off-center. The work felt careless, not professional. I reported the issues to Safe Start Child, which was the company Bobby was working with at the time. Safe Start handled the situation responsibly and fixed everything they could. This review is about Bobby's installation work and how he handled the appointment. I was recently reminded of this experience when a friend was considering babyproofing options, and I felt compelled to leave a review. Parents hire babyproofers because they want expert guidance, safety, and peace of mind. That is not what I experienced with Bobby. I would not recommend him.

I had a great experience with Baby Proofing Montgomery. Molly did our initial in-home evaluation…read moreand provided us a lot of good information and ideas. Their business model gives you a lot of options as a consumer which I appreciated. You can simply get the in-home evaluation to help you see potential hazards and deal with them however you wish. But you could also buy childproofing products from them and install them yourselves, or alternatively have them do the installation. I didn't feel pressured in any direction, they simply gave me information and options, and I appreciated that. We picked several products to buy from Baby Proofing Montgomery and had them install some of them. They did an excellent job and their prices were reasonable. It was easy to communicate with them over email. I'd highly recommend them!

On three occasions, SSC replied to my requests for services from another company. The first time I…read morewas incredibly confused. Thought I had gotten hacked, so I tried a second time to contact that other company another way - again, I heard from SSC. I told the person that it seemed shady, and then they stopped texting me (which seemed even more shady). Then I looked up the websites and found that one of SSC's founders was the current communications manager at the other company. After I blasted that other company on Google (I got a really testy, unprofessional reply - I wonder from whom...?), I decided to try one last time to reach out to the first place. A third time, SSC reached out. None of this was giving me better vibes, but at my spouse's request, I let it play out. Spoke to a REALLY NICE person as SSC, and emailed to make an appointment for someone to do an in-person home inspection. I was disappointed that I had to make it three weeks after talking to them, but thought that it might be a positive measure of how sought-after they may be. When the day came for the home inspection: no call, no text, no email, and NO VISIT. SMH, SSC! I wish I could give a 0/5.

Joe from Safer Babies was awesome. He spent the entire day baby proofing our house--installing…read morebaby gates, door locks, fireplace locks, molly-bolting, cabinet locks, and made our baby monitor look much nicer on the wall. Joe is so easy to work with, very professional, and I would recommend him to anyone who is baby proofing. My dog Louie also really liked him. Would recommend-5 stars. Thanks Joe!

We were in need of babyproofing services for our home and came across Safer Babies. The reviews…read morewere consistently positive, so we booked an in-home consultation with the owner, Joe Metzger (virtual consultations are also available, but we preferred in person). During the consultation, Joe walked through our home and carefully noted what needed to be addressed. He sent us a detailed quote that same evening and was quick to answer any follow-up questions. He adjusted the plan based on our preferences and offered thoughtful recommendations when appropriate, never with any pressure. His experience--over 25 years in the business--along with his reputation made it easy to trust his guidance. About a month later, Joe returned to complete the babyproofing. He was professional, detail-oriented, and clearly takes pride in his work. The installations were clean, sturdy, and extremely well done--the quality truly speaks for itself. He even noticed that the door on our built-in microwave was popping out and casually fixed it. Joe was a pleasure to work with, and our home feels much safer and more secure now.

Let me start by saying as a general rule I do not provide online review comments about products or…read moreservices I purchase. However, after working with Marc and Kandee at Protect-a-Child fence I feel compelled to inform others about the quality product they offer and incredible customer service they provide. I was in the late stages of a new construction pool project and in need of quality fencing that had the option to be removed when conditions warranted (i.e. no small children or non-swimmers present ) but also met local code, kept people safe, and also helped keep the pool clean the other 99% of the time. I did my research and contacted competitors and after seeing the finished product installed I was gratified in knowing I made the right decision - this is a quality product with added benefit of being manufactured in the US. The actual fencing was available locally from Kandee and Marc, it did not have to be ordered or shipped from overseas. I'll finish by saying I received the BEST customer service from this outfit - every text, email and phone call was returned timely, they even addressed building code questions from the inspectors prior to installation and met my unreasonable timeline in preparation for a pool opening party. I simply cannot say enough about Marc, Kandee and Protect-a-Child fence. Greg in Cambridge, MD
