Q: Can I replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs on a light string?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;t insert an LED light into an incandescent socket. It usually won&rsquo;t fit anyway, but in the unlikely chance that it does, its electrical demands are too different for it to work properly. </p></div>

Q: Should you hang Christmas lights on gutters or shingles?

• <div><p>You can choose to hang Christmas lights on either gutters or shingles&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of lighting?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-lighting-your-home.htm">type of lighting</a> you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.</p></div>

Q: Who can I hire to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Aside from a <a href="https://match.angi.com/booknow/zip?taskoid=61520">professional light installation company</a>, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they&rsquo;re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.</p></div>

Matt and his crew built the front porch last year. Like before they were clean, friendly and did superb work on the deck. I’m just sorry we don’t have another deck to rebuild! This deck will outlast us and I highly recommend them for future work!
