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

• <div><p>No, you shouldn’t insert an LED light into an incandescent socket. It usually won’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: Who does holiday decorating?

• <div><p>If you need help with your holiday decorating, the first step is determining your lighting and decor needs to narrow down your pro options. For example, if you want a custom outdoor light display with all of the bells and whistles, you&rsquo;ll likely need to hire a local holiday light installer who specializes in that service. But if you only need to hang some lights inside in hard-to-reach places, consider hiring a handyperson or an interior decorator instead. It&rsquo;s best to contact at least three different companies for quotes and to find out what services they offer.</p></div>

Q: How do you hang string lights without nails?

• <div><p>Nails are a popular choice for hanging string lights, but they are not the only option. Use outdoor hooks, zip ties, or even awning hangers to string up lights outdoors. For indoor lights, use simple tacks, zip ties, damage-free adhesive hooks, or drawing pins. When all else fails, just wrap the lights around some furniture or outdoor fixtures. </p></div>

Q: Can you hang lights on eaves?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I use both LED and incandescent Christmas lights together?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. </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.

Everything was excellent - the shutters look great, are good quality, and the price was very competitive. We love them and will definitely use Decorator's Delight again when we want more shutters or window treatments.

Went very smoothly despite small delays in delivery and some minor tile issues. Subcontractors coordinated well. The only thing I would do differently is use a decorator to help pull some of the loose ends together. Although it looks great, in retrospect I probably would have made some slightly...
