"Jeff Cordes was prompted at returning calls, did a quality job of smow removal of my driveway for 12" snowfall. Cleared areas as requested and sent photo to confirm work was done allowing feedback before he left the jobsite. Great customer service and reasonably priced."

Customers say: Quick response

"Sonney came and did our windows and I am so pleased. GREAT work. He was super kind, friendly, and just fantastic with our pup when he was inside with us and the dog. Our pup can be a handful sometimes and the fact that this didn’t bother him at all was a cherry on top! He cleaned both top and main floors, inside and out, cleaned up after himself, and was very courteous. He played some light music which we loved, too! Really just a great guy and great job. We are satisfied and would recommend! Hope to hire them again for the next time we need our windows cleaned."

"We had 4 separate bids on our lighting project and chose Holiday Lighting & Design based on their competitive pricing, professionalism and friendliness. Our lights were custom strung and hung and looked great. Cords were creatively hidden and we had a beautifully decorated home for the holidays."

"This is the second year we have hired this company to clean our windows: inside and out, sills, screens. They couldn't be more courteous or professional! We are grateful they could come during the pandemic and appreciate their good work."

"It went great. Windows looked like brand new and stayed that way much longer than expected. Our entire house was pressure washed, but Matthew did not like how it looked while drying so he stayed multiple hours longer that he needed to make it right. I would definitely recommend and/or hire again."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

Nails are a popular choice for hanging string lights, but they are not the only option. Use outdoor hooks, zip ties, or even awning hangers to string up lights outdoors. For indoor lights, use simple tacks, zip ties, damage-free adhesive hooks, or drawing pins. When all else fails, just wrap the lights around some furniture or outdoor fixtures. 

Professionals use the same methods found in this guide unless they’re decorating a particularly large Christmas tree. In that case, they may also make use of tools like extension poles to get the job done. 

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. 

The simplest way to put Christmas lights on any metal surface is by using a magnetic hook or clip. You can also purchase magnetic lights, which should easily stick to any magnetic surface. Keep in mind that not all metals are magnetic. In that case, you’ll need to use a different clip.

Good news, Christmas lovers: you can keep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use LED lights instead of incandescent ones. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient. 

If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around $3,500 but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home.
