Handyman to Help Install a Babygate...
Does anyone know of a reasonable handyman in the Carrollwood area. I have to get a hard-mounted gate up on the top of my stairs and we haven't been able to figure out how to do it correctly. I have a crawler now and its imperative that we do this.

Did you try putting anchors into the wall first? We aren't handy AT ALL and when I had a home daycare and had to install a gate in my previous house w/ stairs, we couldn't get the screws to "stick" in the wall. One of the parents, who worked at a hardward store, installed it for us and all that it needed was some metal anchors to help hold the screw in. If that's not what the problem is, then I can't help you any further:)

Hi T.. My name is Kevin. I run a company in Tampa called Baby Boundaries. I work with parents who want help protecting their children from things at home that can hurt them and grandparents who want a safer home when their grandchildren come to visit. Part of my services include recommending the best baby gates available and providing professional installation sevices. Unlike a handyman, I only work in the area of child safety. The cost would depend on the design of the stairway and whether custom mounts would be required to properly secure the gate. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me at ____@____.com or call me at ###-###-####.
