"Scott tackled a project for me long distance...installing an AC unit in an old farmhouse for my sister. He did a great job in a difficult setting and even helped her by fixing a screen door. Very reasonable pricing. I will use him again!"

Gick Builders started business in March, 1979 as a framing contractor. Brothers Bob and Mike Gick, lifelong residents of Benton and Tippecanoe Counties, are the principals. In 1979, Bob and Mike formed their own company, primarily for remodeling and as framing subcontractors for other builders in Central Indiana. They framed over 400 homes in both Lafayette and Indianapolis areas, and worked on many multi - family housing projects. They served as project managers for over 66 multi - family units.\n\nIn addition, Gick Builders has done work on several commercial jobs such as BoJangles and Harrigan's Restaurants, the Lafayette Shrine Club and Paw Prints, Franks Nursery in Lafayette. In 1987, Bob and Mike began building their own custom homes. To date, they have completed 60 custom homes ranging in price from $75,000 to $500,000.\n\nWe believe that the craftsmanship that goes into your new home should be performed as if we were the ones making the mortgage payments. If the quality measures up to what we would expect in our homes, you can be sure that it will measure up for you as well. \n\nTo ensure that we complete our mission and achieve the best quality possible, Mike and / or Bob are always on the job, from start to finish. Bob and Mike have total control over the finished quality of their homes because they do all of the excavating, framing, siding, trim, wiring, painting, septics, concrete prep.\n\n\n\n\n

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can synchronize Christmas lights with music to create a DIY light show. To do this, you will need several components. For hardware, you'll need standard holiday lights, decorations, lawn ornaments, tools, outdoor-rated extension cords, a computer, and a light show control system or digital controller. You will also need specialized software to program the show; popular options include Light-O-Rama (LOR), Vixen, xLights, and Animated Lights. Some, like Vixen and Animated Lights, are considered more beginner-friendly. The process involves using the software to program your lights, choosing an audio method such as speakers or an FM broadcast, and testing the entire system to make sure it's working correctly before the show.

No one has figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Tying icicle lights down or adding weights to them can help, but it’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.

Most contractors will include removal of your lights in the price of installation, but it’s always a good idea to double check. Storage of the lights is often also part of the package when you hire an installation professional, since you might choose to use the same lights for several years.

To hang Christmas lights on a ceiling without using nails or traditional hooks, you have several damage-free options. Adhesive hooks and clips are a popular choice. For smaller projects, you can use pushpins, tacks, or adhesive putty. Specially designed transparent tape that can hold weight without damaging paint is also effective. For a more creative approach, consider stringing the lights over a curtain rod near the ceiling. If you have a drop ceiling, look for clips and hooks designed to attach to the metal framing. Note that staples can also be used, but may leave small holes.

There is no formal date for Christmas light removal, but January 2 is a standard day to take them down for many homeowners. However, some homeowners’ associations have strict rules around this topic, mandating that residents remove lights no later than two weeks after Christmas. Check with your local association or community for more information.
