Q: Do Christmas lights need to be grounded?

• <div><p>Christmas lights typically do not need to be grounded like electrical circuits in your home do. However, it's crucial to use outdoor outlets equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) for added safety. GFCIs can help protect against electrical shocks and are recommended for outdoor electrical connections when using Christmas lights.</p></div>

Q: Can tree decorators handle artificial Christmas trees?

• <div><p>Decorators often prefer artificial Christmas trees. They&rsquo;re easier to handle and shape, and decorators don&rsquo;t have to worry about bugs or allergies. It&rsquo;s also an ideal choice because artificial trees keep up appearances without owners needing to schedule watering. </p><p>However, always confirm that decorators are ready to unbox and set up the artificial tree. If they don&rsquo;t include tree set-up in their services, you may need to hire a general handyperson for that task.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How much do outdoor holiday lights cost?

• <div><p>Outdoor Christmas lights cost between $80 to $300 on average without installation. This comes out to about $4 to $50 per strand. You can get a box of outdoor Christmas lights for as little as $20, if you just want to decorate a small area, like a doorway. If you want to go all out and cover your entire home, you'll need between 10 to 20 strands of 100 to 200 bulbs each.</p></div>

Q: When should I consider installing my own holiday decorations?

• <div><p>If you only need strands in safe and easy-to-reach locations and are sure of your electrical system, you can probably purchase and install lights yourself. To do this, carefully test your outlets to ensure there aren&rsquo;t any sparks or other concerning issues. Your budget might also influence this decision, as going the DIY route can be significantly cheaper.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to hang Christmas lights from gutters?

• <div><p>It's safe to hang Christmas lights from gutters with a few considerations. First, when installing the lights, follow safe ladder-use guidelines and avoid getting onto the roof. Second, for best results and the integrity of your lights, use clips to keep the bulbs away from inside the gutters where they could run into trouble with water or ice. </p></div>

"S&C contracting was amazing to work with during the process of my new driveway and back patio. I called looking for a quote and they were out the next day to give me a price. Price was very competitive against all my other bids. They helped with the design of what I wanted for the patio and were prompt on getting me on their schedule. Communication was top notch, they were constantly updating me for when install would be. I wasn’t home during the install and they communicated with me while they were installing. The finish of the concrete turned out amazing and clean up was great as well. I highly recommend giving S&C a call!"
