Get matched with top holiday decorators in Melbourne, AR

For many people, hiring a holiday decorator is well worth the investment. It’s an especially popular service for homeowners who don’t have the time or capability to decorate their property for the holidays. If you want an upscale holiday—especially if you’re hosting family or friends—then a high-end holiday design and decoration service can be worthwhile to make sure your home stands out and wows your guests.

If you hire a pro, the cost to hang Christmas lights is typically somewhere between $1.25 and $3 per square foot, excluding the cost of the lights. Homeowners spend an average of $420 per job, but some jobs can cost more than $1,000 if they’re extensive.

While Christmas lights are a wonderful way to light up your home during the holiday season, they don’t have a long lifespan. Most incandescent Christmas light bulbs are designed to last between 1,000 and 1,500 hours—or about one to three holiday seasons. More durable LED bulbs should last about 10 times as long. 

Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.
