"Recently had a new system installed and winterized a week later due to colder weather drawing near. Had a few days to play with the system. Discovered a punctured line the next day which was quickly resolved at no cost (warranty). The owner Steve is very friendly and speaks to you as a person rather than a company trying to sell you something. Very happy with the service performed and the price. Will go back to Black Diamond for all future maintenance."

"When Paul met with me the first time, he spent about 2 hours going over our options for a dog run. He had a lot of good ideas and recommendations for the safety of our dog. The natural stone was a perfect recommendation, and it turned out great. Our dog loves it and doesn’t get his paws muddy like before. Paul’s team arrived on time, were professional and a pleasure to work with. They did a great job removing our bush, removing some grass to put down the natural stones. They cleaned up everything after they were done on both days. We are glad we hired them and would use them again in the future if needed. We recommend OCR, Inc. Luisa and Eric R"

Lighting questions, answered by experts

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. 

If your lights are shorting out during rain storms or other winter events, you should probably replace them. These shorts indicate electrical issues that could cause serious hazards. Look for outdoor-rated lights with connectors made for rainy conditions to replace them. But if your Christmas lights are new and you want further protection, you can find weatherproof covers to add to the male-end connectors of your Christmas light strings. These can minimize the risk of shorts.

You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. 

Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.

Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.

Professional repairs involve diagnosing issues, replacing components, rewiring, or repositioning fixtures to restore optimal performance.
