Q: Can I install holiday lights myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible, but professional installation ensures safety and a polished appearance, especially for large or high displays.</p></div>

Q: Should you DIY or hire a pro to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>You can tackle hanging Christmas lights yourself with the right tools, accessories, and a trusted friend or neighbor. You&rsquo;ll need to purchase a ladder (<b>$100 to $300</b>), clips (<b>$10 to $20</b>), hooks (<b>$10 to $15</b>), and lights (<b>$25 to $100 per string</b>).</p><p>Otherwise, you should hire a trusted <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/holiday-decorators/">holiday light installer</a> near you. You&rsquo;ll pay an average price of <b>$200 to $650</b>, but you&rsquo;ll have peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and safely. </p></div>

Q: How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn&rsquo;t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn&rsquo;t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it&rsquo;s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don&rsquo;t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</p></div>

Q: How do you make Christmas lights easy to hang next year?

• <div><p>Take a picture of your house to easily replicate the same design for next year and keep the clips and accessories. When storing your lights, wrap them around cardboard so they don&rsquo;t get tangled. Purchase a ladderless extension pole kit to hang your lights (around <b>$30 to $50</b>) for hard to reach areas.</p></div>

Q: What bulb makes Christmas lights blink?

• <div><p>A blinking, or twinkle, bulb makes Christmas lights blink. Usually, this type of bulb has a silver or red tip, making it easily distinguishable from other non-blinking bulbs. Most packages of Christmas lights come with additional blinking and non-blinking bulbs. Additional bulbs can be purchased at a hardware store or online retailer.</p></div>

The company was highly professional and did exceptional work. They were extremely punctual, hardworking and cleaned everything up after themselves. I would highly recommend this company and have already used them twice. And the owner is very responsive and very easy to work with.
