Is it safe to fix my own Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Yes, tackling blown fuses and broken light bulbs is definitely safe. Fixing the wiring on a strand of Christmas lights isn’t a good idea, though, because of the danger of shock and fire. However, if you don’t feel comfortable working with any type of electricity, consider hiring a professional Christmas light installer to manage the job safely and efficiently.</p></div>

Can I replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs on a light string?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn’t insert an LED light into an incandescent socket. It usually won’t fit anyway, but in the unlikely chance that it does, its electrical demands are too different for it to work properly. </p></div>

Q: How can I hang Christmas lights on my ceiling without nails?

• <div><p>You now know you can hang Christmas lights with adhesive hooks, but if you need alternatives, consider pushpins, tacks, staples, and adhesive putty (for small projects). If you have a drop ceiling, look for clips and hooks designed for the metal framing. </p></div>

Q: Are there any alternative methods for how to hang Christmas lights on fascia?

• <div><p>There aren&rsquo;t many alternative methods to hanging Christmas lights on fascia without using clips. But if you don&rsquo;t have fascia clips to hang your Christmas lights, you can use clothespins in a pinch. To do this, hold the strand of lights in place and clip it in place with the clothespin. Using nails or staples is never a good idea, as they can damage your fascia.</p></div>

Q: How do you synchronize Christmas lights to music?

• <div><p>Several Christmas light software options, like Vixen, LOR, xLights, Animated Lights, and Light-O-Rama, allow you to sync music to your Christmas light show right at home. All you need is a computer, the software, and a controller that connects to your laptop. Depending on your technical skills, you should choose more beginner-friendly software like Animated Lights or Vixen. </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...
