Q: Can you hang lights on soffit?

• <div><p>Yes, you can hang Christmas lights from the soffit of your roof, but it requires a bit more effort than hanging from the gutters or eaves. You&rsquo;ll need to add an adhesive hook or tie to the underside of the soffit to keep the lights in place. Consider adding a soffit hook every 12 to 18 inches for best visual results.</p></div>

Q: Does cold weather affect Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. </p></div>

Q: Should you tip holiday decorators?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won&rsquo;t expect it, but it&rsquo;s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they&rsquo;re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between <b>10% and 20%</b> of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.</p></div>

Q: Can tree decorators handle artificial Christmas trees?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p> </p></div>

Tony came thru and had all of the outdoor projects finished on time. We did have some weather issues but he & his staff managed to work around them. Very professional staff included. He power washed shed/house/and a two story deck. Then stained the deck all before the holiday.

Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.

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

Decorators often prefer artificial Christmas trees. They’re easier to handle and shape, and decorators don’t have to worry about bugs or allergies. It’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’t include tree set-up in their services, you may need to hire a general handyperson for that task.
