"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

Christmas light cords are long, thin, and flexible—which makes them exceptionally prone to tangling. As you try to untangle the very merry mess, the light bulbs and sockets may catch on the cords, making it even harder to pull cords through the knots.

Considering the pros and cons of hiring a professional holiday light installer can help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages:

Pros

  • Saves time

  • Reduces stress

  • Produces for custom, high-quality designs

  • Provides better-quality lights

  • Reduces personal safety risks 

  • May Include takedown and storage services

Cons

  • More expensive than DIY light installation

  • Less control over the design

  • High demand for installers

  • Contractors may keep the lights and decorations

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. 

Yes, you can hang Christmas lights from the soffit of your roof, but it requires a bit more effort than hanging from the gutters or eaves. You’ll need to add an adhesive hook or tie to the underside of the soffit to keep the lights in place. Consider adding a soffit hook every 12 to 18 inches for best visual results.

During the holidays, big box hardware stores sell many kinds of clips and hooks made specifically for hanging Christmas lights—including ridge clips, gutter clips, shingle clips, and mounted hooks. It’s best to avoid nails, staples, and screws since they can damage your roof.
