The service
What baby & childproofing is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
Baby and child proofing is a walk through your home to find the points where a crawling or walking child can get hurt, followed by fitting locks, covers, gates and wall anchors. Baby & Childproofing in San Jose is booked through pros who cover its 35 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, and Cambrian Park. San Jose's dry summers are ideal for exterior painting and deck work — the fall calendar fills fast, so book early. Price and warranty belong to the pro, and the pro is your choice.
What a baby & childproofing visit includes

What shapes a baby & childproofing job
These are the things that make one job different from another. Mention them in your notes so each pro can scope your job properly.
Which cabinet lock or gate to choose
Different hardware suits different cabinets and openings. Your child's age and your cabinets decide which is practical. Tap an option to compare, then add your pick to your job notes.
What is not part of baby & childproofing
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more is done by a licensed contractor. Remodeling stairs, railings or windows falls in that group.
- Replacing outlets with new wiring, adding circuits or changing panels: that is a licensed electrician.
- Pool fencing, pool alarms and permanent barriers, which may need a permit.
- Repairing a structural stair, balcony railing or guard that is loose or too low.
- Medical, safety or legal certification of your home. Pros install hardware and cannot promise safety.

Before you book baby & childproofing
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Get down to child height
Crawl through the home to see what a small child sees: cords, low drawers, outlets, sharp edges and things to pull. Make a list of what you find.
List the hazards in the notes
Write down cabinets with chemicals, tall furniture and stairs. A pro can plan hardware and time better with a list.
Photograph stairs and furniture
Pictures of the stairs, tall pieces and cabinets let the pro bring the right gates, straps and locks.
Move chemicals and medicine up high
Locks help, but the safest place for cleaners and medicines is a high cabinet out of reach. Move them before the visit so the pro can check what is left.
Check the age and rating of products
Choose products rated for your child's age, and check for recalls. Read the installation manual and keep it with the home files.
Plan to recheck as the child grows
Children learn quickly, so revisit the hardware every few months. Ask the pro how to adjust or replace items as your child grows.
Say where in San Jose you are
Add your neighborhood, for example Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, and Cambrian Park, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.
