Q: How long does it take to decorate a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Decorating a tree yourself will only take between one and two hours, but a professional designer may take more time to create their vision. When hiring a pro, assume the work will take a minimum of three to four hours.</p></div>

Q: Are there any alternative methods for how to hang Christmas lights on fascia?

• <div><p>There aren&rsquo;t many alternative methods to hanging Christmas lights on fascia without using clips. But if you don&rsquo;t have fascia clips to hang your Christmas lights, you can use clothespins in a pinch. To do this, hold the strand of lights in place and clip it in place with the clothespin. Using nails or staples is never a good idea, as they can damage your fascia.</p></div>

Q: How can I hang Christmas lights without damaging my gutters?

• <div><p>Several options for hanging Christmas lights won't damage gutters. Using shingle clips avoids any hardware contact with them, and using plastic gutter clips minimizes the likelihood of scratching gutters. Remember not to rest a ladder, especially a metal one, against the gutters, and use a ladder stand-off device or stabilizer if you need to use an extension ladder. </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.
