Custom Child Proofing FAQs
A Home Safety Consultation takes one to two hours, depending on the size of your home and complexity of your needs. We conduct a thorough assessment of every area of the home–including spaces you may not initially consider a risk. We document all findings so you have a complete record, so we can address your family’s needs as they evolve over time.
Yes, it is strongly recommended that a parent, guardian, or homeowner be present for consultation.
The consultation is highly educational and we review safety considerations, product options, and decision points throughout the process. Being present ensures you can make informed decisions and fully understand the recommendations for your home.
No. The Home Safety Consultation fee is separate from product and installation services.
The consultation is a detailed, time-intensive service that establishes your Home Safety Plan and onboards you as a Safe Start client. Once, you are a client, you retain ongoing access to our expertise, custom product line, recommendations, and future services.
After your consultation, you will receive your Home Safety Plan with recommendations and cost estimates. From there, you can choose to schedule your Baby Proofing Installation based on which solutions you want to move forward with and when. We remain available for follow-up support and additional services.
Your Home Safety Plan is a comprehensive, room-by-room safety system designed specifically for your home, combining expert assessment, product selection, and a fully scoped implementation plan. It includes:
- A detailed evaluation of each area of your home, identifying potential hazards and how they relate to your child’s development
- Specific, personalized safety recommendations for each space
- A structured plan outlining exactly what needs to be addressed alongside identified product solutions
- Notes on placement, use and any special considerations
- Itemized material and installation costs
You will also receive:
- A curated Product Guide with our vetted safety products
- A comprehensive LookBook featuring real installations in real homes, so you can visualize how solutions will work in your space
The cost of baby proofing varies depending on the size of your home, the number of safety solutions needed, and the specific products and services chosen.
Your Home Safety Plan includes a detailed estimate for materials and labor so you understand the full cost before any work begins. We invoice only for completed work, and you are not required to move forward with everything at once. If you have a budget, we can prioritize recommendations based on your most immediate needs.

No. We prioritize solutions that are safe, durable, and appropriate for your space.
As experienced installers, we use precise techniques and specialized hardware to ensure all safety products are securely installed while minimizing visible impact. We do not rely on wall anchors, pressure mounted gates, or adhesive-only solutions in most situations. While these options are often marketed as “damage-free”, they are less safe and lead to unintended damage over time.
Our installations are clean, intentional, and designed with both function and aesthetics in mind. When products are removed, any impact is minimal and comparable to hanging a piece of art.
