"Mr. Warnick did a great job. He and his crew were very thorough and made sure they didn’t leave without making sure everything was complete and better then when they showed up. Very professional! I will definitely be hiring him again."

"I ordered a Murphy bed from Wayfair that was far more difficult for me to assemble than I thought. Jehu Solis provided a reasonable bid, arrived on time, worked diligently, and, most importantly, did a fantastic job. I would rehire him again."

"I'm Jared, a hands-on handyman with a knack for solving problems before they become expensive ones. My business is built on showing up when I say I will, doing the work right the first time, and treating every job like it's my own house. Whether it's a leaky faucet, a wobbly deck, or a full room refresh, I bring the tools, the patience, and the pride to get it done clean.

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

Repairing a strand of Christmas lights will save you a few dollars and the hassle of going to the store to purchase new ones. That may or may not be enough to make fixing them worth it to you. However, if the lights are already hanging or around the tree, removing and replacing them is far more time-consuming than performing a quick repair job. 

When it comes to bang for your buck, LED lights are the clear winner for Christmas lights. While these will cost more upfront, they’ll last you for many holidays to come—far longer than your basic halogen bulbs. Along with that, they also save you big on energy costs throughout the season.

Professional holiday decorators are used to working with homeowners with varying needs, so the services can include nearly anything related to holiday decorations. Some services you might want to consider include the following:

  • Exterior light hanging

  • Other exterior decorations

  • Exterior tree decorating

  • Interior tree design and decorating

  • Removing holiday decorations at the end of the season

  • Packaging decorations after removal

  • Holiday decoration storage

Decorating a tree yourself will only take between one and two hours, but a professional designer may take more time to create their vision. When hiring a pro, assume the work will take a minimum of three to four hours.

There are many types of Christmas lights 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. 

C9 lighting is typically the most expensive option, ranging from $15 to $70 per 25-foot strand. 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 $6 to $15 per 25-foot strand. These bulbs are smaller and rounder than other options, creating a softer look.
