"To whom it may concern, I am Marcos Martinez I live in the area of Bergen County to be exactly in 314 Henry st Fairview NJ 07022. Three weeks ago I wanted a renovation in my apartment and one of my friends recomended me Mario Cana from C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC, and I contacted Mario Cana from C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC to look at the job that I needed and get an estimate from him, later on we got a deal with his company and I asked him to get me the job before a certain day and I was suprice that they accomplished what I asked for. His crew has done a wonderful job. The crew of Mario are always on time, professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mario Cana and his company C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRCUTION LLC for any general construction needs."

Customers say: Quality work

"Artique Constructions did an amazing job with my bathroom and kitchen remodeling. Can not recommend enough for their quality of work and commitment to deliver to perfection. I chose very modern high end designs and their work was impeccable. I would have spent more than double if I had gone for anyone else. I got complete remodeling of kitchen(floor/cabinets/island/pantry/installation of all kitchen appliances/backsplash/open shelves/led ceiling lights) bathroom(bathtub/vanity/floor/bath tiles/built-in shelves/toilet), changed all switches and electric boxes, trims throughout the house, paint, door knobs, hinges, custom wall paneling. Garry made the house look like a million bucks houses featured in magazine. He is very trustworthy and patient. His attention to detail is amazing. Would suggest anyone who wants to get their house in amazing shape with no hidden costs Garry is the person to go to."

They were not only punctual but also displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process.

Holiday Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you must use an extension cord specifically rated for outdoor use to power outdoor lights, such as Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use lack the protective properties to withstand exposure to outdoor elements. To safely hang and power lights outside your house or in your yard, always connect them to an outdoor power source using an outdoor-rated extension cord.

Outdoor Christmas lights cost between $80 to $300 on average without installation. This comes out to about $4 to $50 per strand. You can get a box of outdoor Christmas lights for as little as $20, if you just want to decorate a small area, like a doorway. If you want to go all out and cover your entire home, you'll need between 10 to 20 strands of 100 to 200 bulbs each.

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.

During the holidays, big box hardware stores sell many kinds of clips and hooks made specifically for hanging Christmas lights—including ridge clips, gutter clips, shingle clips, and mounted hooks. It’s best to avoid nails, staples, and screws since they can damage your roof.

If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.
