Q: What type of Christmas lights will my professional install?

These usually have fewer bulbs per strand, so you might need more than expected to cover a large area.

These bulbs are smaller and rounder than other options, creating a softer look. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth hiring a professional Christmas decorating service?

• <div><p>If you are hosting a large party this year or have staged your home for potential buyers, having a professionally-decorated tree can make a big impact. Christmas tree decorating services can also be more than worth it if you're unable to reach the top of your tree and need assistance with precarious ladder work.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don&rsquo;t shop for bargain lights&mdash;often, you&rsquo;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&mdash;LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year&rsquo;s Christmas during this year&rsquo;s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan&mdash;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>

Q: What’s the safest way to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Always use Christmas lights and extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.</p></li><li><p>Don&rsquo;t overload outlets by plugging in too many lights.</p></li><li><p>Opt for LED lights for a safer display that saves on energy costs.</p></li><li><p>Do not use old or broken Christmas lights.</p></li></ul><p></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>

"The painter did not retape but went over the section with paint. The ceiling looked great, the walls meh there were a couple nail holes and one empty nail that were painted over not repaired as per the deal. I was left a message that the quality of my paint was the issue. That may be partly true but painting over instead of doing repairs which were to be included in the deal was not ok. The ceiling was painted free since the painter didn't like how it looked. I guess it was worth the price but I think I could have done the same thing myself.
