Hi Amy,
I just wanted to let you know that Bill Stewart was wonderful to work with. The client I recommended him to was very pleased with his professionalism and the work he completed at her house.
I look forward to recommending him again.

"Love our protect a child fence....we have had it protecting our two kids for about 10 years now."

We had originally contacted Kent about pool fencing when our daughter was 16 months old. Despite his professionalism and thorough knowledge, we instead found pool fencing online and someone we thought was a competent installer in an effort to save money. The pool fencing arrived and the installer started his work. 3 hours later they had drilled one hole in our pool deck and it was crooked. I called off the project, sent the fencing back for a 10% restocking fee and we waited.
Fast forward 2 years later: our daughter is 3½ and our son 9 mos. We were able to be vigilant about the pool the year before but with 2 children now, it was imperative that we have a safety system installed and soon! I called Kent and he graciously came out and quoted the project again. He ordered the fencing, and arranged to install it the following week.
The Sunday prior to installation, our daughter had quietly slipped out the back door and was sitting on the pool steps when my husband found her. Despite our best intentions to lock both doors leading to the back yard, we forgot. The pool fence could not be up soon enough!
Kent arrived to install it on the day agreed upon and 3 hours later we have a secure and safe fence! More importantly, we have peace of mind. I can now let our daughter out into the backyard to play without fear of her wandering into the pool area.
Kent was courteous, professional and worked with us to stay within our budget. Thanks Kent and Home Safe Homes! We are very grateful for your company and the services you provide!

"I gotta say, you build a really durable
and worthwhile product. Here's a little story of my fence and
proof of your durable product.
I purchased your Protect-A-Child pool fencing back in the winter
of 1987. I had about 25 feet of it installed to separate the pool
from the backdoors at a patio of a house I was having built and
was about to move into.It was installed so I could meet Code,
obtain a C.O., and to protect my 1 year old child from getting
to the pool, unsupervised.
About the time she was 5 and could swim like a fish, I took the
fence down, rolled it up like a tent, wrapped rope around it and
set it inside an outdoor fenced area. It was fully exposed to the
weather for its entire life.
Now that daughter of mine is about to enter college. How time
flies. It was 18 years ago that I had your fence installed. My
wife now has a grandchild who is 17 months old and visits occasionally.
With all of the publicity about Jack Nicklaus' grandchild last
week and the hot tub incident, it made me realize that I needed
to get a fence back up to separate the pool from the doors out
of the house, like I did 18 years ago for my daughter.
So, I unrolled your Protect-A-Child fence, scooped out the dirt
that had filled in all of the fence holes in the pool deck, and
stuck the fence posts back into those holes. I had to do some real
pulling on the fabric to stretch it out to fit the same holes
but I was quite amazed that the fabric could take a real tugging
and without being dry rotted from being exposed to the weather
for all of those years and didn't tear or rip at all, anywhere.
I sprayed the fabric down to get the dirt off of it and it looks
as good as the day you installed it back in the winter of 1987.
Nice to see that any manufacturer makes a product that is really
made to last. Thank you for that."

"I wanted to share a story about your fence. My wife and I put one of your fiberglass pole fences across our driveway to keep debris out and our dogs away from our alley. We usually park behind the fence. Well my wife decided to back in for groceries and I think got a little distracted (Ha Ha). She backed over our fence with the suburban, with a loud CRACK. I was very nice (Ha Ha again) and told her to please pull forward. I was surprised to see the fence stand back up looking undamaged and still providing safety for our dogs. With closer inspection the pole she went over was broken but didn't break off! It still provided the safety we were looking for! Had the fence fallen down, who knows if our dogs had run into the alley at that time, a car may have hit them? We love our fence Thank You."

"I
don't normally endorse products but we had one of your fences
installed 3 years ago around our pool. During hurricane Wilma
last month, our entire pool enclosure was destroyed. When it fell, one entire
end of the enclosure was resting on one end of the protect-a-child fence.
Your fence was not damaged at all. Thank you for making such a sturdy
product. We have some pictures of it if you'd like to see them."

Dear Protect-A-Child:
I
wanted to let you know our story in hopes that it might prevent
tragedy for other parents. Although we had a happy ending, it
was too close.
We
have a pool that came with the house we bought. It is screened
in and our house came with door alarms. We have a 3 year old,
and she is NEVER left alone. We thought that our pool was safe
because all the locks were high on the doors, the alarm was there,
it was screened in, and I am a very protective mom. I also
thought that if my daughter fell in the pool of course there had
to be a splash and I would hear it.
Well
approximately 6 weeks ago, it was a beautiful Florida day. I had
all of the doors and windows open, and my daughter was outside
playing in the backyard with our 2 dogs. Next thing I know she
was on the pool deck inside the screen enclosure. She had gotten
in through the bottom of the screen door where the screening had
been knocked out probably a couple of days before. I was
inside standing at my kitchen bar and said to myself, “Well
she’s OK for just a minute.” I thought I would finish
what I was doing and then go get her. I checked on her and
she was laughing and playing with her beach toys and was fine.
Next thing I know, I hadn't heard her for a second. I look out
and the toy that I had just seen her playing with was floating
down the side of the pool with the current of the water. I ran
out the glass door to see my daughter struggling to get above
the water. She had on jeans, a long sleeve shirt and boots. She
was sinking straight to the bottom and I never heard a peep. Not
a splash of water or sound out of her mouth. And I was less than
5 feet away!
I
pulled her out by her pinky. Water poured from her nose and mouth.
After I got all the water out of her and she was finally breathing
again, my almost 3 year old looked up at me and said,
"Mommy
I just want to breathe."
Fortunately,
she is fine.
I
tell you this as a mom that was terrified that my child could
have drowned that day. A few seconds more and I may not have her.
The next morning a Protect-A-Child Pool Fence went up at our house
knowing that if it had been up the day before, my child would
have never had to go through this horrible experience.
We
thought our pool was safe. Now I know that it was not. No pool
is safe. But at least I know now that my daughter cannot get back
to the pool and I think that if I can tell my story to at least
one person and have it save a toddlers life, I would know that
my daughter and I experienced that day for a reason.
I
TRULY believe in this product and know that these fences are not
only installed for a house to meet the code for inspection, but
it really is for the safety of our children.
Hope
all is well!

Thanks Carissa for your story. It is without a doubt chilling
and we hope will speak to parents everywhere. We hope everyone
reading this will realize that it CAN HAPPEN TO YOU! The drowning
statistics are so high because too many people think it won’t
happen to them! Please. Don’t wait. You might not get that
second chance. Take steps to safeguard your child today!
Hi Marc,
Just wanted to let you know that the fence is awesome, and David was great. The fence looks fantastic, everything was cleaned up nicely before he left, and he explained everything and answered all my questions. I wish all contractors could be so pleasant.
Thanks!

"Good fences, safer pools
Supervising our little ones around water is essential. Often overlooked is what happens when a toddler escapes out the back door while you are visiting a neighbor or grandparent who has a pool. A fence around the pool is not a substitute for proper supervision, but it could buy you life-saving seconds when little Bobby sneaks out to pretend he is Nemo.
If you have a backyard pool, it should be fenced in, even if there are no kids living in your house. After researching different pool fence systems, we installed the Protect-A-Child pool fence. It serves as an excellent deterrent, was quick and easy to have installed and is actually removable (although I would recommend keeping it up at all times). If you know someone who needs a pool fence, but may not know it, ask them to visit www.protectachild.com.
