Looking for handyman and/ or carpenter for childproofing
It's time for me to baby proof the house, so I'm looking for someone who can help with:
- putting doors on bookshelves and replacing doors on existing closets (so those can be childproofed)
- anchoring heavy furniture
- installing baby gates etc.
Basically, a good handyman or maybe carpenter? I'm looking on Nextdoor and Thumbtack/ Taskrabbit as well, but find it hard to gauge whether folks have specific experience. Let me know if you've worked with someone who can help with these items, works efficiently (e.g., know what tools/ parts will be needed so we can avoid multiple paid trips to the store), and doesn't charge exorbitant amounts. THANK YOU!

We've worked with someone named Pete who is efficient, considerate, and just a lovely human being. While he hasn't done baby-proofing specifically, he mounted our TV when we first moved in and has repaired doors, cabinets, etc. He comes first to assess the situation, runs to the hardware store (if needed), and efficiently finishes the job. Please feel free to send me a direct message if you would like his contact information and rate.
