How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn’t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn’t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it’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’t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</p></div>

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.

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: Do I need special tools to fix Christmas lights?

• <div><p>An affordable Christmas light bulb testing and replacement tool can make the job easier. But you can most likely make all necessary repairs yourself using common toolbox items if you&rsquo;d rather avoid purchasing another gadget. </p></div>

Q: What are the different types of lighting?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-lighting-your-home.htm">type of lighting</a> you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.</p></div>

Q: How can you hang Christmas lights outside without nails?

• <div><p>To hang <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hang-christmas-lights-without-nails.htm">Christmas lights outside without nails</a>, consider using alternatives like adhesive hooks, gutter clips, or even hot glue. These options allow you to secure lights to various surfaces without causing damage to your roof or siding. Be sure to clean and prepare the surface before applying these alternatives for better adhesion.</p></div>

John came in today on a holiday day to check my roof. He is a very honest man. He told me my roof is still good for another two years, and doesn’t need any repairs at this time. I highly recommend him for any roofing projects. Thank you John!

Carl's measured our home, we discussed options, made choice, were given price and installed. There was a bit of a lag in the time between quotes and installation due to the holidays. But the cost came out as quoted. I am very happy with Carl and his service.
