What type of Christmas lights will my professional install?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-christmas-lights.htm">types of Christmas lights</a> to choose from when working with a light installer. The main types available for outdoor lighting are dome, LED, incandescent, and C9, and your lighting professional’s choice will depend on the location and overall design. </p><p>C9 lighting is typically the most expensive option, ranging from <b>$15 to $70 per 25-foot strand</b>. These usually have fewer bulbs per strand, so you might need more than expected to cover a large area. Dome lighting is usually the most cost-effective option, ranging from <b>$6 to $15</b> <b>per 25-foot strand</b>. These bulbs are smaller and rounder than other options, creating a softer look. </p></div>

Q: Should you tip holiday decorators?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won&rsquo;t expect it, but it&rsquo;s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they&rsquo;re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between <b>10% and 20%</b> of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to staple Christmas lights to your roof?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s a somewhat common method for hanging Christmas lights, using a staple gun is not safe for your roof. Poking any kind of hole can potentially damage your roof and expose it to the elements, whether it&rsquo;s from nails or a staple gun. Shingle tabs are the best way to hang lights on your roof without the damage.</p></div>

Q: How is holiday lighting added or removed safely?

• <div><p>Safe installation involves using appropriate anchors for weight and weather-resistant fixtures, ensuring all connections are secure and safe from water exposure. Removal should be performed carefully, avoiding pulling or yanking on cables to prevent damage to lighting and home exteriors.</p></div>

Q: Can I use both LED and incandescent Christmas lights together?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. </p></div>

Our dog was happy and clean when we picked her up! The pick up times were limited due to it being over a holiday and a weekend...so we ended up paying for 2 extra days and really just wanted to get our dog home! Overall, it was a great experience and we would use them again.
