What’s the safest way to hang Christmas lights?

• <div>There are several ways to hang Christmas lights safely. Here are some key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/christmas-lights-safety-tips.htm">Christmas light safety tips</a> to keep in mind:<ul><li>Always use Christmas lights and extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.</li><li>Don’t overload outlets by plugging in too many lights.</li><li>Opt for LED lights for a safer display that saves on energy costs.</li><li>Do not use old or broken Christmas lights.</li></ul></div>

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

• <div>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.</div>

How can I save money when hiring a holiday decorator?

• <div>One of the easiest ways to save money when hiring a holiday decorator is to provide storage for your decorations. If you have the space, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by avoiding storage costs through your professional. It’s also a good idea to provide as much direction as possible for your professional, as this can cut down on design services. Finally, you can pay for your decorator to take down your decorations at the end of the season, but packaging and storing them yourself will save money on labor.</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...

Great responsiveness; they came out on a holiday weekend. They didn't have the part but tried to fix it anyway, they then returned on a holiday to replace the board. The price was reasonable. They gave advice to prevent future board problems; to buy a surge protector. I would definitely use them...
