Can you hang lights on soffit?

• <div><p>Yes, you can hang Christmas lights from the soffit of your roof, but it requires a bit more effort than hanging from the gutters or eaves. You’ll need to add an adhesive hook or tie to the underside of the soffit to keep the lights in place. Consider adding a soffit hook every 12 to 18 inches for best visual results.</p></div>

Q: Should you hang Christmas lights on gutters or shingles?

• <div><p>You can choose to hang Christmas lights on either gutters or shingles&mdash;either option is fine. If you have gutter covers, shingles may be your only option. But, all-in-one clips are designed for both applications.</p></div>

Q: Can you hang lights on eaves?

• <div><p>Yes, if your roof is in stable condition, you should be able to hang Christmas lights from the eaves. Hang Christmas light directly from the eaves for best results, using light clips or an alternative type of adhesive. When installing lights on your eaves, be sure to work carefully and avoid adding too much weight or pressure to them.</p></div>

Q: What safety concerns should I keep in mind when considering a holiday lighting project?

• <div><p>Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren&rsquo;t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn&rsquo;t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don&rsquo;t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.</p></div>

Q: Who can I hire to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Aside from a <a href="https://match.angi.com/booknow/zip?taskoid=61520">professional light installation company</a>, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they&rsquo;re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.</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.
