"He was very nice, conscientious, polite, and tried his best. He even came out in the rain when no one else would come out in the rain. He came out under poor circumstances, he even made two trips. When I told him I needed it done right away, he was available! It was done in a timely manner, and he picked up the mess of roof tiles that had fallen to the ground. The job turned out bigger than I expected. Almost 2 hours were worked. He gave me some advice on what was going wrong. I will use him again if needed!"

"We originally asked for a price to fix the post on the front porch and paint the exterior of our stucco house.  AC quickly gave us an online estimate of $2600 from pictures we had sent. We then arranged a time that week for him to come over and look more closely at the house.  He agreed to do the job as we requested but had some reservations about painting without doing some fix up prep work first.  He had his painters come look at the house and they expressed even greater concern and stated the paint job would not last nearly as long without replacing some rotted wood and doing extensive caulking and stucco repair which was obviously needed.  After talking with them we agreed that the prep work should be done at an additional cost of $2400.  They first worked on the post on the front porch and did a great job.  They were able to repair the post instead of replacing it which we appreciated.  They then took 2 days working on the prep work prior to painting.  They did a very thorough job and were even able to remove some extensive vine debris with no evidence of its remains after painting.  AC had recommended using Sherwin Williams for the paint but we were unable to get the color we wanted even after working with a SW dealer who honestly tried very hard to match our request.  AC agreed to use the Behr paint of the color we had chosen.  They applied an oil based exterior primer prior to applying the finished coats.  The painters were excellent.  Dither was very knowledgeable and thorough.  He and his painters worked hard and payed attention to details.  Both AC and Dither did frequent walk throughs with us and addressed all our concerns.  At the final walk through we had noticed bubbling on the concrete on the front porch. Although a primer was not recommended with the concrete paint they had used, they returned and scrapped the paint and repainted with an oil primer and another topcoat. We requested that $200 be held back on the payment until this work was completed and AC agreed without hesitation.  The painters returned to repaint within the week. We are very pleased with their work and would use them again needed."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it’s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn’t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.

The cost for professional holiday light installation averages around $430, with a typical range of $220 to $675. However, prices can be as low as $100 for simple projector setups or exceed $1,200 for extensive displays. The total cost depends on factors like the display's complexity, your home's size, labor rates in your area, and the type of lights used. For example, installation on a small, one-story home may cost $250 to $600, while a multi-story home over 4,000 square feet could cost $500 to $1,800. Costs can also be broken down by location (e.g., high roofs at $3.50–$6 per linear foot) or by the type of light strand, with prices ranging from $4 for basic incandescent strands to over $60 for color-changing LED strands.

You can attach Christmas lights to your palm tree by securely wrapping the strings around the tree. If you notice the strands slipping, you can also use a staple gun to secure them to the trunk.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.

Yes, a holiday lighting installation can be a DIY project. While it is possible for homeowners to do it themselves, it's crucial to ensure all safety precautions are taken. This includes using the proper tools, following electrical safety guidelines, and carefully planning the layout. For large or high displays, professional installation is often recommended to ensure safety and a more polished appearance.
