How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness.

Q: How much do outdoor holiday lights cost?

• <div><p>Outdoor Christmas lights cost between $80 to $300 on average without installation. This comes out to about $4 to $50 per strand.

Q: How can I prevent Christmas lights from becoming damaged?

Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar&mdash;winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. </p></div>

I’m satisfied with the service. They showed a high commitment to customer service and satisfaction. When it wasn’t right after the first day, I spoke with the owner and they sent a crew the next morning to complete the task. I’m very pleased with the end result and hopeful the problem is solved.

I called Troy, and within one hour he was at my door to look at the work to give me a quote. He had work for two weeks out, but he did show up on the date he promised, performed the work in less than a day, and cleaned up very nicely. I was impressed and will be using them again.
