Are holiday decoration services worth it?

• <div><p>For many people, hiring a holiday decorator is well worth the investment. It’s an especially popular service for homeowners who don’t have the time or capability to decorate their property for the holidays. If you want an upscale holiday—especially if you’re hosting family or friends—then a high-end <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-help-decorate-holidays.htm">holiday design and decoration service</a> can be worthwhile to make sure your home stands out and wows your guests.</p></div>

Why is half my strand of Christmas lights out?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Are LED Christmas lights safe to leave up all year?

• <div><p>No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They&rsquo;re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they&rsquo;re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. </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>

Q: How long do Christmas lights last?

• <div><p>While Christmas lights are a wonderful way to light up your home during the holiday season, they don&rsquo;t have a long lifespan. Most incandescent Christmas light bulbs are designed to last between 1,000 and 1,500 hours&mdash;or about one to three holiday seasons. More durable LED bulbs should last about 10 times as long. </p></div>

Pascal was great! He showed up on time which is really important to me. Being prompt may seem unimportant, but I believe it shows respect for the customer and I really appreciate that. He took the chair and repaired it and returned it within 2 weeks over the Christmas holidays. I'm very happy...

This service was performed during holidays and they were short staffed. But they worked hard to keep the schedule and delivered the car to my home.
