Currently I am a commercial electrician or a as a mechanic in the trade. Unfortunately I am not a master electrician for any major projects that might need a permit pulled I can’t do that do to state laws. Just being honest. But my rates are fair I don’t don’t charge the customer for material, I usually give a list for the customer to purchase and only charge labor.

"It went pretty good.  I purchased it at the beginning of this month but the work was done recently.  There was an additional cost apart from the $649 deal.  I had to pay additional lights.  One issue was, we talked about holiday colors and he did not have any of those.  They only have the standard white light bulbs."

"The owner inspected the site and even talked to the beat cop (this is a busy downtown location) to get the lowdown on what to expect and when he could put up ladders. We met him at the site a few days later agreed on a price and color and signed an agreement. He showed up the next day with his crew, we let him in the building for window access to help with patching, painting and moving the ladder (it's 4 stories and a long ladder).

Luckily it was pretty warm and dry that day so the work went quickly due to fast dry times.

Other buildings on the block were painted recently due to city citations. Ours looks the best by far.

"Excellent handyman. Even today, a holiday this handyman answered the phone, agreed to fit me into his schedule. 
He communicated before his visit to order the correct part. He arrived timely with the part that was needed. 
He was efficient, affordable, and completed the job perfectly. He fixed my bathroom wall mounted faucet. All hail the reliable handyman. Fantastic.

"Tyler and his friend did an excellent job of power washing our vinyl siding and clearing our gutters. He responded quickly to my request for a quote and came to do the job two days later. . He worked a solid day doing the requested work and even power washed our cement and shed, which was not part of the original plan. He and his friend were so pleasant to work with. They were eager to make us happy with their work. Tyler did the job and the extra at the originally quoted price (which was very reasonable). We are very pleased with the job he did and will definitely call him for future work. Thank you Tyler."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.

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’t work.

How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. 

Considering the pros and cons of hiring a professional holiday light installer can help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages:

Pros

  • Saves time

  • Reduces stress

  • Produces for custom, high-quality designs

  • Provides better-quality lights

  • Reduces personal safety risks 

  • May Include takedown and storage services

Cons

  • More expensive than DIY light installation

  • Less control over the design

  • High demand for installers

  • Contractors may keep the lights and decorations

There are many types of Christmas lights to choose from when working with a light installer. The main types available for outdoor lighting are dome, LED, incandescent, and C9, and your lighting professional’s choice will depend on the location and overall design. 

C9 lighting is typically the most expensive option, ranging from $15 to $70 per 25-foot strand. These usually have fewer bulbs per strand, so you might need more than expected to cover a large area. Dome lighting is usually the most cost-effective option, ranging from $6 to $15 per 25-foot strand. These bulbs are smaller and rounder than other options, creating a softer look.
