Should you DIY or hire a pro to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You’ll need to purchase a ladder (<b>$100 to $300</b>), clips (<b>$10 to $20</b>), hooks (<b>$10 to $15</b>), and lights (<b>$25 to $100 per string</b>).</p><p>Otherwise, you should hire a trusted <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/holiday-decorators/">holiday light installer</a> near you. You’ll pay an average price of <b>$200 to $650</b>, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely. </p></div>

Q: How do I keep my icicle lights from tangling in the wind?

• <div><p>No one has figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Tying icicle lights down or adding weights to them can help, but it&rsquo;s a very time-consuming process and far from foolproof. If your winters are too windy, we suggest simply switching away from icicle lights to straight runs of non-dangling lights along the edge of your roof.</p></div>

Q: How do you attach Christmas lights to palm trees?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you synchronize Christmas lights to music?

• <div><p>Several Christmas light software options, like Vixen, LOR, xLights, Animated Lights, and Light-O-Rama, allow you to sync music to your Christmas light show right at home. All you need is a computer, the software, and a controller that connects to your laptop. Depending on your technical skills, you should choose more beginner-friendly software like Animated Lights or Vixen. </p></div>

Q: Can I use duct tape to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it&rsquo;s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Tristan did a great job, he finished before the time first given by scheduler. The price was more than I competing company, BF would not match lower quoted price but they replaced the unit that day. I do not hold that against Tristan but feel his manager could have helped me out. After 4 days on...

This company is fantastic and the experience was great. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and handled our plumbing situation in very bad weather conditions and on a holiday at the last minute. I recommend this company to everyone and already have them scheduled for additional work.

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.
