"Scott successfully performed several handyman type jobs for me, including rebuilding the base of a post near our front door and installing a new outdoor porch light at my brother-in-law?s house. The porch light was particularly challenging due to old wiring. Scott carefully and meticulously worked through the issues to make sure the light was installed properly and safely."

"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done on my home. He was professional, thorough, and clearly takes pride in doing things the right way. What started as a repair to the flashing and paneling turned into an even better result than I expected, he went above and beyond and even replaced the vent above the paneling, which really shows the level of care he brings to his work. The finished result looks fantastic, and the repair blends in beautifully with the rest of the house. He was careful, responsive, and made sure everything was done properly from start to finish. It’s hard to find someone who is this reliable, skilled, and detail-oriented. I would absolutely recommend him for any job from small to big— he can do it all. I’m very grateful for the quality of his work and will gladly call him again for future projects."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

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. 

Good news, Christmas lovers: you can keep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use LED lights instead of incandescent ones. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient. 

If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around $3,500 but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home.

Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren’t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn’t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don’t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.

If you only need strands in safe and easy-to-reach locations and are sure of your electrical system, you can probably purchase and install lights yourself. To do this, carefully test your outlets to ensure there aren’t any sparks or other concerning issues. Your budget might also influence this decision, as going the DIY route can be significantly cheaper.

There aren’t many alternative methods to hanging Christmas lights on fascia without using clips. But if you don’t have fascia clips to hang your Christmas lights, you can use clothespins in a pinch. To do this, hold the strand of lights in place and clip it in place with the clothespin. Using nails or staples is never a good idea, as they can damage your fascia.
