How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.</p></div>

How do you hang Christmas lights on a ceiling without hooks?

• <div><p>If you can’t hang Christmas lights with hooks, try one of the above methods, or consider an out-of-the-box idea like stringing the lights over a curtain rod that hangs close to the ceiling. It’s also possible to buy transparent tape created to hold items with weight. Just make sure that it won’t damage the paint during removal. </p></div>

Can you hang lights on soffit?

• <div><p>Yes, you can hang Christmas lights from the soffit of your roof, but it requires a bit more effort than hanging from the gutters or eaves. You’ll need to add an adhesive hook or tie to the underside of the soffit to keep the lights in place. Consider adding a soffit hook every 12 to 18 inches for best visual results.</p></div>

Andi was quick, worked on the Thanksgiving holiday, got the job finished in one day. He did an excellent job as well. He went over the work with me when he was finished to make sure I was completely satisfied with the work. I will be hiring him again for more work that I need.

Lou and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They removed and replaced an old deck with composite material and new decorative skirting and stairs. We couldn’t be happier with the finished deck and would absolutely recommend Perfectview Remodeling.
