"I needed to replace the wall lights on my landscaping walls because the screws were corroded and difficult to remove which was needed to take off the covers for bulb replacement. Tim gave me several options and I selected the one he recommended. He gave me a fair price and obtained wall lights for my landscaping that did not have any screws required for opening them to replace the led bulbs. Two technicians removed the old lights and installed the new ones. The techs were very friendly, polite, and hardworking. The job was started and completed on time. The results are beautiful. I am very glad I chose Tim Henson Unique Lighting, and I would highly recommend him."

I was very impressed with the work, as it was a job well done. They were very careful to clean up everything once the work was completed. Iâ m getting all kinds of compliments from my neighbors.

"I am a landlord and hired Richard to paint and add stucco to my triplex. He also replaced fallen stucco from underneath my second story pathway with wood. He also fixed/added the wood trimmings to each (4) garage door. His work surpassed my expectations and he finished the job in a timely manner. His work is very neat, his woodwork is precise and outstanding. I am going to hire Richard again to paint the interior of my triplex in the near future and very excited about it. I would highly recommend Richard. He is honest, knowledgeable and talented."

"This was an usual project. It was redoing a mini bar. Hard to find a contractor that would do it or had the time. Homepro was great lead by project manager Shir Hadad. Jumped right in there and took it on and got the job done. Really appreciate their professionalism."

Holiday Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

There is no formal date for Christmas light removal, but January 2 is a standard day to take them down for many homeowners. However, some homeowners’ associations have strict rules around this topic, mandating that residents remove lights no later than two weeks after Christmas. Check with your local association or community for more information.

Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it’s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn’t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.

Hiring a professional for holiday decorating, especially for hanging lights, is often well worth the investment for several reasons. A key benefit is safety; if you are physically unable to hang lights due to injury, or if your home has multiple stories or other high places that pose a safety hazard, a professional can handle the job securely. They also have the expertise to assess your electrical system to ensure it can handle the load. Hiring a pro is also a great option for homeowners who lack the time or capability to decorate. Professionals can create a stylish, chic, and upscale look that will wow your guests, and they may even save you money on decor. Finally, many holiday lighting experts include maintenance and repairs as part of their rates, ensuring your display looks great throughout the season without any extra effort on your part.

Yes, if your roof is in stable condition, you should be able to hang Christmas lights from the eaves. Hang Christmas light directly from the eaves for best results, using light clips or an alternative type of adhesive. When installing lights on your eaves, be sure to work carefully and avoid adding too much weight or pressure to them.

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.
