Why is half my strand of Christmas lights out?

• <div>It can be frustrating to see one half of your lights working while the other half is dark. Long strands of Christmas lights often contain more than one circuit. If half of your strand won’t light up, there’s likely a burned-out or loose bulb on that circuit in the strand. Check the strand and replace any loose or damaged bulbs. </div>

How much does it cost to put Christmas lights on the roof?

• <div>Most homeowners spend between $220 and $650 installing Christmas lights, with an average price of $420. You can save money doing it on your own, but only if you’re comfortable with heights.</div>

Q: How is holiday lighting added or removed safely?

• <div>Safe installation involves using appropriate anchors for weight and weather-resistant fixtures, ensuring all connections are secure and safe from water exposure. Removal should be performed carefully, avoiding pulling or yanking on cables to prevent damage to lighting and home exteriors.</div>

Q: Can tree decorators handle artificial Christmas trees?

• <div>Decorators often prefer artificial Christmas trees. They&rsquo;re easier to handle and shape, and decorators don&rsquo;t have to worry about bugs or allergies. It&rsquo;s also an ideal choice because artificial trees keep up appearances without owners needing to schedule watering. However, always confirm that decorators are ready to unbox and set up the artificial tree. If they don&rsquo;t include tree set-up in their services, you may need to hire a general handyperson for that task. </div>

Did not go well. Craig seemed resentful of doing the work through Angi and asked for more money to shop for supplies. Replaced wrong board of door trim and did not use decorative trim to match what was replaced. One board was the wrong size. Much of this work will need to be ripped out and done...

Project went well - ramps are effective and functional, meld into the existing decor seamlessly. Returned quickly to install bar above ramp to provide additional stability. Grab bars in bath allow my spouse to remain at home. It went very well!

I stumbled on to Paul's Auto after I noticed a loud noise and discovered my car's exhaust pipes were dragging on the ground. Someone gave me a tip to try Paul's and he soldered a broken pipe together the next morning for a pittance of what I am sure any other shop would have charged. Most...

Do ask for help selecting colors. Marie is amazing and knows what colors will work with your space and your taste. Do ask about decorative faux finishes. It will make a huge difference. Don't worry, you will Love the finished work.
