How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn’t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn’t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it’s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don’t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</p></div>

Q: How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn&rsquo;t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn&rsquo;t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it&rsquo;s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don&rsquo;t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</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: Who does holiday decorating?

• <div><p>If you need help with your holiday decorating, the first step is determining your lighting and decor needs to narrow down your pro options. For example, if you want a custom outdoor light display with all of the bells and whistles, you&rsquo;ll likely need to hire a local holiday light installer who specializes in that service. But if you only need to hang some lights inside in hard-to-reach places, consider hiring a handyperson or an interior decorator instead. It&rsquo;s best to contact at least three different companies for quotes and to find out what services they offer.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell which Christmas light is burned without a tester?

• <div><p>If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.</p></div>

Q: Can installers remove the lights after the season?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include removal as part of the package. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Sam was very friendly. I picked them because of the cleanup reviews and price. They start early and are done in a day. The only thing about starting early is they need to be more careful around gardens and yard decorations that maybe they don't see in the dark. They did break a couple of...

Good job on finding the problem with the AC after we waited out the hot humid holiday weekend. The tech fixed everything in a timely manner. I was quoted a price of $69 trip charge + parts, but was told that if we used a credit card to pay for repairs they would add on another 3% handling...

First and foremost note that Mike does not have one negative review - can't say that about Kristie or others on Angie's. Mike is everything he says and with his price you could never get what he provides in my opinion from any other realtor - this was not our first transaction. From day one...

We were very satisfied with the service we received. The crew cleaned up after themselves and were very personable. We enjoyed talking to them. As far as the curbing we could not be happier, well unless it was done free and they finished landscaping for us. We will definitely use them again if...
