"I called Ares Construction after 2 other Appliance Repair companies fell through. Justin called me the same day and tried his best to make it out the same day to repair my refrigerator. He communicated through out the day to let me know of his schedule. He could not come the same day but he was out the next morning. He showed up on time, called prior to his arrival, and quickly diagnosed and repaired the problem with my refrigerator. Its hard to find reliable contractors in this area. Now that I have found one I will send as much work as I can to him. Thank you Justin for all your help."

"Larry and his son did an excellent job repairing two holes I had in my drywall. The end result was a flawless job. He even patched up some drywall issues I had in a bathroom I had free of charge. I can't recommend this company enough. Thanks, Larry"

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to have your house decorated for Christmas depends on the extent of your holiday vision. Interior decorators charge between $50 and $150 per hour on average, so if your decorations are minimal, you could pay as little as $200 for a couple of hours of decorating. Interior decorators might also bill $5 to $12 per square foot, or a flat rate of $500 to $1,300 per room. You can also pay to have your Christmas tree professionally decorated for an average of $200 to $600. Contact a local interior decorator for a specific quote.

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. 

Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.

It’s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit.
