"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!"

"Eric was professional, showed up on time guided me through how the project was going to go and what needed to be done based off my idea and how I?d like the end result to look. Made sure the correct materials for the project were ready from start to finish. Installed sub panel, ran all the wires to lights/ ceiling fans/ switches/ added a few 3 ways switches for the kitchen and living room. Added outside lights for the the driveway. Installed the stove hood. All work was done to code and safety requirements. I was very happy with the end project result. I have even already started planning for a new project to add lights and a few outlets for a deck I plan on building. Highly recommend, straight forward, good planning and work ethic, explains work and works by code so everything is done properly."

"My roof and the gutters needed to be cleaned, and the roof had not been done in years. Cleaning of the roof went better than I expected, and was so happy to get all the mol and pine needles off my roofs! Gutters were cleaned right before a major storm, and it was so nice to see the water go where it was supposed to :-). Quick, nice to work with, and cleaned up nicely after themselves."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

The simplest way to put Christmas lights on any metal surface is by using a magnetic hook or clip. You can also purchase magnetic lights, which should easily stick to any magnetic surface. Keep in mind that not all metals are magnetic. In that case, you’ll need to use a different clip.

You can choose to hang Christmas lights on either gutters or shingles—either option is fine. If you have gutter covers, shingles may be your only option. But, all-in-one clips are designed for both applications.

The cost for professional holiday light installation averages around $430, with a typical range of $220 to $675. However, prices can be as low as $100 for simple projector setups or exceed $1,200 for extensive displays. The total cost depends on factors like the display's complexity, your home's size, labor rates in your area, and the type of lights used. For example, installation on a small, one-story home may cost $250 to $600, while a multi-story home over 4,000 square feet could cost $500 to $1,800. Costs can also be broken down by location (e.g., high roofs at $3.50–$6 per linear foot) or by the type of light strand, with prices ranging from $4 for basic incandescent strands to over $60 for color-changing LED strands.

Several options for hanging Christmas lights won't damage gutters. Using shingle clips avoids any hardware contact with them, and using plastic gutter clips minimizes the likelihood of scratching gutters. Remember not to rest a ladder, especially a metal one, against the gutters, and use a ladder stand-off device or stabilizer if you need to use an extension ladder.
