Safe Baby Boundaries

Gene did a wonderful job making our house safe for our ten month old baby. We moved into a new house at the same time our baby started crawling abs needed someone to baby proof quickly. Gene helped us decide what we needed to keep our baby safe and installed it very soon after. He is very professional and all the baby proofing stuff looks great. The gates are especially nice looking. I highly recommend hiring this company.

We asked Gene to install a variety of safety devices in our condo rental to protect our one year old from a variety of dangers. We had a pretty good idea about what we wanted, and Gene was accommodating and offered a few ideas of his own. He installed locks on pocket doors and closets, bolted mirrors and televisions to walls, installed a gate, furniture brackets, and put latches on bathroom cabinets and multiple kitchen drawers. One of the more creative things he did was put large Plexiglass coverings on oven panels and stereo equipment (attached with Velcro). The total cost was around $ 500, which seemed about right given the custom attention we received. A year and a half after the installation, we called Gene to remove some of the equipment and repair some of the walls. There was a small charge for this visit which was more than reasonable given the time involved and value to us. Bottom line: Gene helped us minimize risk to our child during a vulnerable time in his rambunctious life, and he was kind enough to come back out to take his stuff away and make minor repairs when there really wasn’t anything in it for him by way of profit. We recommend Gene and his Safe Baby Boundaries company without reservation!

Glad I had Gene come to do an assessment & then do the work! I was playing phone tag with another company (& being a busy mom, I’m not always near my phone or available to answer a call) but you would think they would call you back by the end of the business day. Guess they didn’t really need the business? Oh well, happy I was able to give it to SBB! Gene is super nice & was honest about what needed to be done ASAP or what could wait so you don’t have to pay for ‘everything’ right now.
As the baby starts to reach higher areas & go to other areas of our place I will probably be giving Gene a call to do more work unless we move first. But even then I would call him to install stuff at the new place!
Since I’m pretty anal retentive about things looking clean, it was refreshing that his work made the baby-​proofing items blend in really well ! While you can’t avoid but notice a baby gate, at least it doesn’t totally stand out! :) He also installed plexiglass to cover the big gaps in our railings and you barely notice it’s there!

On top of all this, Gene vacuumed up any anything he had to drill etc. & took off his shoes when he came in. (I hate when people come to work on anything in the house & wear their shoes in without asking if they need to wear the shoe booties if they aren’t going to remove their shoes).
Save yourself the headache & have SBB’s come to install some if not all of your baby proofing needs!

I cannot believe it’s taken me so long to write a review for Gene! He is seriously AWESOME! We have 2 very weird stairwells, and Gene came in and installed some really nice looking gates for us. My husband said that would have probably taken him 2 days to put something like that in, but Gene did it in a couple of hours. He also brought specialized wood panels to match and to help fit the gate in the opening.
Besides the gates, Gene also recommended and provided many other baby proofing items for us that we may not have even considered (stove knob covers, a holder for our blinds strings, etc.) And lastly, he tethered both our bookshelf and TV to the wall so our daughter cannot pull them down on herself.
Gene was sooooo nice! I love working with super nice people! Highly recommended!

Unless you are tim the toolman Taylor, you may have no idea what you are doing when it comes time to baby proof your house. I highly recommend you call Gene!
He pointed out hazards we didn’t realize we had and provided affordable and practical solutions. The house was baby-​proofed in less than a day, saving us time, money and most importantly doing this the right way. Do you really want to take a guess on how to install a gate on your third floor? Me neither.
Gene is super nice and also cleans up as he goes so all that is left is your nice safe house!

Gene is awesome. He knows all the products on the market, doesn’t try to sell you anything you don’t need, and has a solution for any child safety issue in the home. He’s child proofed two homes for me (we moved while our daughter was still a toddler) and I highly recommend the company. Quality work for a very reasonable price, clean and respectful installation and peace of mind.

It is a pleasure to be a client of Safe Baby Boundaries. We recently moved into a new house, and I’m happy to say that this is the second home that SBB has made safe for our daughter. Gene is as professional as they come, explains all of your safety options, and doesn’t try to up-​sell you on unnecessary work. My daughter is a very curious girl, and I’m quite confident in her security at home as Gene placed safety gates on each landing of stairways on both the inside and outside of the house, as well as safety latches on many drawers and cabinets. Furthermore, he anchored many free-​standing pieces of furniture to the wall to prevent accidental pull-​downs.
As he works, Gene cleans up any residual dirt from drilling, packaging material, etc. When it comes time to remove the safety devices, Gene will come back out and make things look as if he was never there. Fantastic!
I have no hesitation in recommending and encouraging everyone I know (and you on Unilocal) with a small child (ren) to call Gene and have Safe Baby Boundaries come out and make your home safe too.

Safe Baby Boundaries is a great service! As a mother of 3, keeping my children safe is my top priority. After inquiring within, they came out right away to do a home evaluation. They returned just a few days later to complete the installation. Not only was the process quick and easy, but I am confident my home is Baby Safe. I am so pleased with the result. Thanks SBB for putting this busy mom at ease!
