Q: 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll pay an average price of <b>$200 to $650</b>, but you&rsquo;ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely. </p></div>

Q: How do professionals put lights on a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Professionals use the same methods found in this guide unless they&rsquo;re decorating a particularly large Christmas tree. In that case, they may also make use of tools like extension poles to get the job done. </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: Can you hang lights on eaves?

• <div><p>Yes, if your roof is in stable condition, you should be able to hang Christmas lights from the eaves. Hang Christmas light directly from the eaves for best results, using light clips or an alternative type of adhesive. When installing lights on your eaves, be sure to work carefully and avoid adding too much weight or pressure to them.</p></div>

Q: Are LED Christmas lights safe to leave up all year?

• <div><p>No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They&rsquo;re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they&rsquo;re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. </p></div>

Our dining room set is over 40 years old, and over the holidays one chair back was severely cracked along both sides. We weren't sure it was even repairable. We brought it into Ageless, and within a few days -- and for only $60! -- they had it fully repaired. You can hardly notice where the work...

They were great. They painted my mouldings and quarter round along with my ceilings. They were fast, efficient and I felt safe with them in my home. I would certainly call them to do more work in the future. They got me ready for my next step of home decorating.
