Boris and Xenon are baby proofing experts through and through. Upon requesting a quote, Boris got back to me extremely quickly, and was fully transparent about what his baby proofing process entails as well as the pricing range. Getting the in-home estimate was simple and painless, and Boris handled all of our questions with patience and kindness (we had a LOT of questions). He also went to great lengths to tell us exactly what we DON'T need. My wife and I truly appreciated how consultative and thoughtful his approach was. Xenon did the actual baby proofing itself. He's a total pro, super easy to work with, and was able to finish the job in a quick two days. Having contractors over when you work remote can be loud and distracting, but we could barely tell he was even in the house when he was doing his job. Everything is operating perfectly and we have zero complaints. Highly recommend first time parents working demanding jobs give these guys a call! read more

I'm actually in NYC, not LA, but reached out because they had been recommended and I was completely stumped about how to babyproof a very tricky open staircase. Boris was unbelievably helpful. He took the time to look at photos, sent me pictures and examples of possible solutions, and actually walked me through what could work in my space. He was incredibly communicative, responsive, and available throughout . It is rare to find someone who genuinely wants to help solve the problem. read more

No question that Boris and his crew know what they are doing. They give real honest advice, do good work, and stand behind their work. I've had them do two homes for me, and have had small pieces break and they have always quickly provided a replacement piece when asked. The way they install baby gates is what truly sets them apart- - they show care to make sure not to damage trim pieces and use a brand that feels much sturdier than what research had led us to on our own. I will continue to use Play it Safe for our baby proofing needs and would highly recommend them to others. read more

Excellent work at a fair price. The customer service was really tremendous. Communications were swift and direct. They were very timely (which is really important to us). Everything was installed securely and cleanly. We did have one item that had a small issue and they immediately replaced it. Honestly wish every home service company was as easy to work with. Thank you Boris and the Play It Safe team! read more

Boris and Xenon were great partners in babyproofing a few complex indoor and outdoor spots in our new home. Consultation, estimate and installation all happened within a couple weeks, and both were super knowledgeable and friendly, and I did not feel pressured to buy something we didn't need. The custom solutions we decided on were not cheap, but I am getting the value in the peace of mind in my boys' safety but also creative in how they blend in with the house. Especially impressed with how our outside patio and fireplace protection are practically invisible. read more

From the first phone call I could tell these guys were very professional and felt comfortable bringing them into our home for this work.

We had such a great experience with Boris and team! They were professional, efficient, and incredibly kind.

It's rare to find people who genuinely care and go above and beyond. read more

My husband and I hired Boris and his team to baby proof our entire home. The whole process from the initial consultation with Boris to the completed installation of our project was completely seamless and gave us a ton of peace of mind as our baby begins to crawl and explore. The solutions are elegant and largely hidden and I would absolutely recommend hiring them. Prior to having our baby, we were dreading the baby proofing phase and this experience completely reversed that for us. read more

Xenon was great! Efficient and friendly and did a great job making everything look neat and hidden

Baby-proofed my entire house after a thorough walk-through and consult on what needed to be done. Boris is extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. And my installer, Zino, was not only efficient, but also generous and kind. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs help baby-proofing. read more

My wife Toni and I first met Boris during Covid when my daughter needed to baby proof her home as well as ours. He was able to schedule an appointment within days of our initial phone call. His team was punctual, efficient and aesthetically conscious. They also did a great job cleaning up after they were done. Their pricing is fair. But the best part of Boris and his team is that they really care about their clients and how to best support them so that they can feel safe and satisfied. Boris is exceptionally accessible and always answers his phone which is a rare thing nowadays. He recently did a smaller job for my daughter and once again Zenon came within days of her phone call and did a fantastic job. read more

We moved into a new home with our baby and I didn't know where to start baby proofing, but knew our stair case was a huge priority. Boris with Play It Safe Baby Proofing responded to my inquiry right away. Throughout the whole process, he was professional, transparent, pleasant, and most importantly - he didn't pressure me and genuinely cared that we baby-proofed our home correctly, regardless of if it was with his company. He first came over for a walk-through appointment in-person. I really liked that he educated me if I didn't need to do something (for example, he taught me that all my outlets were already proofed as is). He then promptly sent a thorough break down of everything we could baby proof and what it would cost. Once we decided what we wanted, I signed a contract and made the first payment. Then we made an appointment. On the day of the appointment his employee was on time, prepared, and I felt comfortable with him in my home all day. We got plexiglass on the top of our staircase, mesh on our lower spindles, and gates at the top and bottom of our stairs. It all looks great and is very study. I am extremely happy with Play It Safe Baby Proofing. It is well worth the price. I would highly recommend you reach out to Boris with your baby proofing needs! read more

We have newborn twins, so wanted to get things safe for them (especially given all the recent minor earthquakes). The work done to secure our wall items and cabinets was top-notch. Xenon was quick and thorough with the installations we requested. However, I was slightly put off by the owner's faux congeniality and tendency to oversell. Ultimately, we got what we paid for and feel much more secure in our house. read more

We are very happy with our experience with Play It Safe. They really walked us through all of our options and their recommendations were spot on.

I had a great experience with Play It Safe Baby Proofing. It definitely makes me less nervous as a first time mom. Boris did a walk through of my house to go over dangerous areas and I set up a time for installation, which was quick and easy. Definitely recommend this company. Also, I want to mention they shipped me some protective foam that my dog decided to eat a chunk out of. It was done quickly and greatly appreciated! read more

Very pleased. Boris and Xenon were both so professional, and we have complete peace of mind thanks to the incredible service.

I highly recommend Play It Safe Baby Proofing. Boris is extremely knowledgeable and responsive.

He did a thorough walkthrough and identified areas of hazard and the proper solutions. His installation team is efficient and did a great job. read more

We just completed baby proofing for our first grandchild. Boris was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Zenon, the installer, was amazing. He was careful, pleasant and patient, explaining how everything worked, and left the work areas spotlessly clean. Highly recommend this company. read more

I'm finally at ease in our home now that Play it Safe has baby-proofed our house. We have stairs, a pool (and several doors that lead to the pool), fireplace, etc. and all of these were problematic for our little ones. Our house was built in the 60's when "up to code" meant something different, so we had to be really thorough in looking at all the dangers. The technician took the time to explain all of our options during the initial consultation. The work was done a few days later & matched the quote they gave us. It has been almost a year since the installation and all of the baby proofing has worked perfectly. read more

Contacted Play It Safe for a quote on all things baby proofing for our 1 year old who is a recent walker. We had a walk through with Boris a day after I reached out, and then install about a week after- 3 gates + child latches on the kitchen drawers. The whole process was very straight forward and easy - highly recommend. read more

I hired, played safe, baby proofing, to go through my home and find issues and make suggestions. They came up with a lot of great safety ideas I hadn't thought about, and I hired them to do all those things, plus I needed to earthquake safe some tall cabinets. They did all of it in one day. The installer was very professional and nice. They were very responsive with, phone calls, providing information, and showing up on time. read more

Pricing for all items on our quote and labor was much higher than competitors. Contact Boo Boo Busters instead. Installers damaged property installing one gate, lied about it, but we had cameras recording. Don't waste your time/money and go to another company that is cheaper and has better installers. read more

What a mind adjustment we have now that our house is baby/toddler proofed! I'd done a bit of proofing myself putting in a few drawer safety latches, that kept breaking / needing replacement...so I finally took the plunge on having a pro do it. Game changer and very reasonably priced. The initial assessment was thorough, but not pushy - there were things I'd already baby proofed that they said "great, just leave that as is" while also addressing things I hadn't thought of. Peace of mind!!! read more

We used Play It Safe for our stairs in our new house. They installed a gate that is not only pleasant to look at, feels very safe for our little one. Very happy with the service, speed and quality. read more

Great thorough and fast installation at an affordable level. Great alla cart menu. Will use them again as our daughter grows up

We hired Play It Safe to childproof our home when our twins started crawling, and honestly we are thrilled with the results! From the initial consultation to the final installation, they were professional, patient, and incredibly thorough. They walked us through every potential hazard and helped us decide which ones we needed to address and which we were comfortable living with. They had samples and pics and really gave us a good understanding of what we can expect when the girls started really moving through the house. All of their solutions were spot-on, and we feel so much more confident now that our home is a safe environment for our little ones. Their communication was incredible, they worked around our schedule and showed up exactly on time to both the walkthrough and the installation - basically a frictionless process. When it comes to your kids and their safety, they gave us so much value! Lastly, I met and spoke to the business owner himself - he was funny and witty and great to do business with them! Highly recommend! read more

Boris and his team did a wonderful job assessing our needs for our townhome. He looked at our space with the eyes of an experienced dad of twins, and made recommendations that were appropriate for our space. His team were able to quickly get us and quote and then do an install days later. We can't recommend it enough! Being the parents of a little one is enough worry and they take all of the baby proofing off your plate - at a cost, yes - but safety and piece of mind are priceless. read more

Fantastic and timely communication extremely professional and thorough. Boris at play it safe baby proofing will come to your house and walk you through every aspect of the house that needs to be protected for your child.

Boris did a phenomenal job holding our hands as we weighed our options and figured out the best plan for our family. The is installation was clean and neat with incredible attention to detail. We are safe and happy! read more

These guys were incredible from start to finish!! Boris came to our home for the walkthrough and gave us detailed explanations of everything and anything we asked. Never made us feel like we were asking too many questions, (we definitely asked a lot of questions), and it really felt like a conversation rather than a lecture. The installation team was awesome and everything turned out perfectly!! We LOVE our gates. We were accustomed to having white gates that didn't match our railing, but these black mesh gates are so sleek and seamless - they're perfect! Way better than our old ones! We were impressed with the gates, as well as the other installed items, and with Boris's expertise, customer service, professionalism and follow through. Highly recommend :) read more

Working with Play it Safe was a pleasure. We are grandparents to a baby who will soon be a walker and we needed to make our apartment as safe as possible. Boris came to our apartment and did a thorough walk-through, spotting issues and making very practical suggestions. He provided us with a detailed estimate and scheduled installation promptly. The installation team was fantastic: efficient, professional and considerate. They cleaned as they went and left the apartment immaculate. The team explained how each of the features work - some are not intuitive - and answered all our questions. This is a very reliable company and we could not be happier with the service they provided. read more

This review is long overdue! We moved into our new home earlier this year with our 18 month old. The home has multiple flights of stairs and a modern design so we knew doing baby gates on our own would be very difficult/impossible. It also has a balcony with horizontal railing (a perfect ladder for our son). Play it safe came and saved the day with professional, clean, modern looking baby gates and plexiglass for the balcony. We get so many compliments on both and most people say they can't even see the plexiglass! 7 months later and they are holding up beautifully. This service wasn't cheap but was so so worth it and we totally got what we paid for! Thank you so much!! Would absolutely recommend them! read more

Called these guys when our baby started picking up speed and getting into everything. Super fast response, very nice and very professional. Arrived exactly on time - which is rare! The walkthrough was a revelation! There were so many things out sleep deprived brains hadn't considered, but it didn't feel overwhelming - the guy was just like "don't worry, we got you!". Everything we chose was installed impeccably and cleanly - the installer was super nice and knew how to work around nap time. From first call to installation was a total of five days - super fast. I can't recommend Play It Safe highly enough! read more

Boris and the whole Play It Safe team was outstanding!!! Boris was extremely responsive and got out very quick for a consult. He was personable, Efficient and very transparent on what was and wasn't needed. Following the consultation, he got my quote together quicker than anticipated and we were on the schedule for their soonest availability! The crew came in and got to work bright and early, they were super nice and great at their jobs. They were flexible with my schedule for when my baby was napping and the areas they could work in/noises they could make. Everything was left just as clean as when they arrived, and my house is now a baby haven! Although baby proofing is supposed to be inconvenient for the grown ups, everything is really practical and extremely easy to use. Shouldn't be more than just a small adjustment but a BIG relief! read more
