What our clients have to say about us:

"Hal is our go-to guy when it comes to childproofing. He's professional, thorough, affordable, and creative when it comes to finding solutions that keep our toddler safe and happy while keeping our home liveable for adults. We highly recommend Home Safe Home Childproofing" 
- Pamela F. & Mark T., Evanston

"We have a one-year-old, and Hal provided extensive childproofing for our 4-story house, from adding locks on everything from kitchen cabinets and appliances to securing lamps and bookcases. His installation was professional and efficient, and the childproofing is often invisible when possible, which is what we requested. He brought childproofing issues to our attention and gave us tips about easy remedies. He also inspected gates and locks we already had installed to make sure they were secure.

Hal gave us a thorough on-site consultation, offering advice on ways we could childproof some things ourselves and telling us how he could provide custom work to accomodate our non-standard cabinetry and doors. He was friendly and professional and took his time, giving us a detailed and prompt estimate. At no time did we feel he was trying to sell us on things we did not need. We chose to have him do the majority of the work, which was in our opinion reasonably priced given the costs of childproofing materials, the time it would take, and our need to have someone who could deal with unusual cabinet configurations. He came back within a week to do the installation and spent five hours securing furniture and installing locks, he happily accomodated last minute requests without hesitation. His expertise allowed us to childproof without damaging cabinetry or having unsightly and hard-to-use locks. We highly recommend him and have referred our friends to him."

"Hal Norman is the Mozart of baby-proofing. His work is both art & science.  He pays close attention to detail and customized his work to our very active twin baby boys! Thanks Hal!"
 - Monica N., Hinsdale

"Hal was the third person we'd contacted for an estimate for childproofing. We chose him because he is professional, not an alarmist.  Hal did not disappoint. He was on time and installed all the items we'd requested. He cleaned up after himself and we are completely pleased with his work. He is also available to de-install the gates and patch the walls when the time comes for that. We highly recommend Home Safe Home Childproofing."
 - Debbie & Josh T., Libertyville* 

"Hal did a fantastic job! He managed to install 4 gates without damaging my wood banisters at all!! His work is great because of his attention to detail. I would highly recommend him!"
- Lisa & Jason H., Wilmette* 

"I would highly recommend Hal for all your childproofing needs.  I had received estimates from other companies, and they were just that...companies agressively trying to sell their products and then send a different person you hadn't met to do the installation.  With Hal, what you see is what you get.  He understands that every home and household has different needs and tailors his services to YOU.  His attention to detail, thoroughness, professionalism and innovative methods are outstanding and truly set him apart!" 
- Christina & John S., Inverness

"Hal knows his stuff.  We are pleased with the quality of workmanship and response Hal has provided.  Hal has excellent recommendations and always takes into account customers requests and ideas.  Hal has great ideas of his own, and is neither pushy or overly 'salesman-like' when it comes to products."
- Jennifer L.,  Chicago* 

"Hal was very professional, prompt, thorough, and did excellent work.  He did not suggest any unreasonable ideas and helped us by thinking of areas we would not have thought of until it may have been too late.  Everything looks discreet.  One gate installed at our staircase was mounted on an extra piece of wood so that it would not damage the railing.  He also did a great job cleaning up after himself.  He was also great with working around my son's sleep schedule.  That was much appreciated!  I will use his services again in our next home someday."
- Gina M.,  Chicago* 

"I first called Hal, as well as 2 other childproofers, 8 years ago when my daughter was a baby and we moved to Chicago.  I chose Hal because he is knowledgeable, practical, considerate about the level of childproofing that you feel is necessary, responsive, and brings potential safety hazards to your attention in a calm yet urgent way (he determined that my upstairs railing was wobbly and couldn't support any weight including our 1 year old)... thank goodness he was there to help.  He came to my house to install gates, child safety outlets, and various door locks."

"I kept his phone number for all these years so when I had another baby, I knew I didn't have to look any further than Hal Norman.  He has helped us so much.  I highly recommend him for your child proofing needs."
-Renu B., Vernon Hills
