Q: How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn&rsquo;t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn&rsquo;t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it&rsquo;s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don&rsquo;t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</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: Is it worth fixing Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Repairing a strand of Christmas lights will save you a few dollars and the hassle of going to the store to purchase new ones. That may or may not be enough to make fixing them worth it to you. However, if the lights are already hanging or around the tree, removing and replacing them is far more time-consuming than performing a quick repair job. </p></div>

Q: Can installers remove the lights after the season?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include removal as part of the package. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to hang Christmas lights on the roof?

• <div><p>The easiest way to hang Christmas lights on your roof is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hang-christmas-lights-gutters.htm">attach them to your gutters</a>, but there are plenty of user-friendly methods to try. You can use light clips to easily hook Christmas lights to your shingles, eaves, gutters, or soffit. However, using a telescoping pole is a surefire way to ensure your safety while hanging Christmas lights because it doesn&rsquo;t require using a ladder or climbing onto the roof.</p></div>
