Q: How can I hang Christmas lights without damaging my gutters?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: How much do professional holiday decorators cost?

• <div><p>On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/christmas-decorating-service-cost.htm">holiday decoration services cost</a> around <b>$800</b>, but prices can range from around <b>$300</b> to to <b>$2,500 or more</b>, depending on the extent of the work and home size. Simple interior holiday decoration can cost closer to <b>$300 </b>while hiring a decorating pro to hang exterior lights and exterior decorations alongside the interior work will total around <b>$800</b>. For large decorations or extensive design and decoration services, you can expect to pay <b>$2,500</b>. Note that these prices only include labor, not the decorations.</p></div>

Q: What’s the most expensive Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Typically, the most expensive type of Christmas tree is either the Douglas fir or the fraser fir. That being said, lots of different factors can affect what you&rsquo;ll pay for a Christmas tree including supply and demand, size of the tree, and more. Your best bet is to speak with a pro at your local Christmas tree farm to find the best tree for you. </p></div>

Q: Is it OK to hang Christmas lights from gutters?

• <div><p>It's safe to hang Christmas lights from gutters with a few considerations. First, when installing the lights, follow safe ladder-use guidelines and avoid getting onto the roof. Second, for best results and the integrity of your lights, use clips to keep the bulbs away from inside the gutters where they could run into trouble with water or ice. </p></div>

Q: Do you need gutters to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>In the Christmas days of yore, people braved winter weather to staple or tack their Christmas lights onto their rooftops or nearby surfaces like the fascia boards. Problems quickly emerged with that approach. Damage to the roof, even small marks from staples, provides entryways for moisture and similar issues that can hasten roof rot, wear, and associated leaks. Plus, some homes had tough fiber cement boards or other materials where staples and screws didn&rsquo;t work.</p></div>

Very well. Only issue was a delay in getting the needed part- probably because it was over the Christmas holidays.
