How do you hang Christmas lights on a roof peak without a ladder?

• <div><p>If you don’t have a ladder, you may be able to use a light-hanging pole. If not, you’ll have to rent a bucket lift or other machinery to reach your roof. </p></div>

What does it mean if half my string of lights is flashing?

• <div><p>The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.</p></div>

What are the best types of Christmas lights for a roof?

• <div><p>When it comes to bang for your buck, LED lights are the clear winner for Christmas lights. While these will cost more upfront, they’ll last you for many holidays to come—far longer than your basic halogen bulbs. Along with that, they also save you big on energy costs throughout the season.</p></div>

Q: How do you hang Christmas lights on a roof peak without a ladder?

Q: Does cold weather affect Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. </p></div>

Q: How many string lights can be on one outlet?

• <div><p>How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It&rsquo;s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per 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...
