Don't Wait for an Accident to Happen!

Almost 80% of all child deaths occur at home due to poisoning, choking, burning, or drowning. Most baby and child injuries are preventable with thorough safety and consultation with babyproofing experts. Thoroughly childproofing your home is a big project. You can wait until you have more time and do it yourself or you can have it done by a trained expert in one afternoon. Spoiler alert: the time of “more time” never comes when you are a parent…

We have a 5 month old already crawling and little time to think and execute. We wondered if we could outsource childproofing the home and turned to Google. We were impressed with Ouchproofer’s services. They were quick to contact and come out. They came on a weekend which was very convenient. They surveyed the home and suggested hacks where proofing items could not be used. They were professional and immediately trustworthy. We are happy. Now baby can roam with less unsafe obstacles around.

Dedicated guys. Communication was easy: always quick to respond and will speak to you with a peer to peer attitude. I also liked that they work on the weekend, they're the only babyproof company around that I know who do that. They do the first consultation for free, which is also something that most proofers don't do. Most importantly, they did a good thorough job proofing our house!
