Q: Do you need gutters to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>In the Christmas days of yore, people braved winter weather to staple or tack their Christmas lights onto their rooftops or nearby surfaces like the fascia boards. Problems quickly emerged with that approach. Damage to the roof, even small marks from staples, provides entryways for moisture and similar issues that can hasten roof rot, wear, and associated leaks. Plus, some homes had tough fiber cement boards or other materials where staples and screws didn&rsquo;t work.</p></div>

Q: What date should Christmas lights be turned off?

• <div><p>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&rsquo; 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. </p></div>

Q: Can I leave my Christmas lights up year-round?

• <div><p>Good news, Christmas lovers: you can<b> </b>keep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/incandescent-vs-led.htm">LED lights instead of incandescent ones</a>. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient. </p><p>If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around <b>$3,500</b> but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install Christmas lights on a roof?

• <div><p>The average cost to have a professional install Christmas lights on a roof is about $420, with most homeowners spending between $220 and $650. Some companies may charge between $1.25 and $3 per square foot, excluding the cost of the lights. For extensive or complex jobs, the cost can exceed $1,000. While doing it yourself can save money, it is only recommended if you are comfortable working at heights.</p></div>

Q: Does cold weather affect Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. </p></div>

"We hired Ken to install a gas griddle that came in a million parts and looked like an absolute nightmare to put together. I was worried even a handyman would have trouble…but he was on time, friendly and worked in the 90+ degree heat to get it put together in under two hours. The price was so reasonable too. We will definitely hire Ken again for any projects around our home!"
