How do you attach Christmas decorations to the roof?

• <div><p>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.</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: Should you tip holiday decorators?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won&rsquo;t expect it, but it&rsquo;s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they&rsquo;re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between <b>10% and 20%</b> of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional Christmas light installation cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-christmas-light-installation-cost.htm#cost-factors">cost of professional Christmas light installation</a> is <b>$430</b> on average, but it can range from <b>$100</b> for basic projectors to <b>$1,200</b> or more for an extensive holiday light installation. The overall price also depends on the size of your home and any other location where you&rsquo;ll be adding lighting. For instance, a small, one-story home typically costs between <b>$250 and $600</b> for light installation, but a 4,000-foot multi-story home costs significantly more, ranging from <b>$500 to $1,800</b>. </p></div>

Q: What are the different types of lighting?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-lighting-your-home.htm">type of lighting</a> you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.</p></div>

They are good for haircut. It was $38 for the haircut, shampoo, and style. I like the atmosphere. It's kind of a sheek looking place. It's like an exterior decorator did it. It's not just the run of the mill. They send them to New York to be trained.

He talks a good game but did not deliver in the end. His crew did most all of the work and he showed up for a few minites to examine the work. The scoring was good but the staining was not because he did not use the colors we told him that we wanted. In fact, his crew did not know that the...

For my hair I use Haute Couture Salon. Cut and color is $40.00 That is reasonable. For a full hair cut and color. I like the decor, I like the people's attitude. But most of all I like their quality of workmanship.
