Q: How can I save money when hiring a holiday decorator?

• <div><p>One of the easiest ways to save money when hiring a holiday decorator is to provide storage for your decorations. If you have the space, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by avoiding storage costs through your professional. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to provide as much direction as possible for your professional, as this can cut down on design services. Finally, you can pay for your decorator to take down your decorations at the end of the season, but packaging and storing them yourself will save money on labor.</p></div>

Q: Can holiday lighting installations be a DIY project?

• <div><p>Yes, homeowners can undertake holiday lighting installations by ensuring safety precautions. Using proper tools, following safety guidelines for electrical connections, and carefully planning the layout can make DIY projects fulfilling and manageable.</p></div>

Q: What safety concerns should I keep in mind when considering a holiday lighting project?

• <div><p>Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren&rsquo;t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn&rsquo;t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don&rsquo;t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.</p></div>

Q: Can I use duct tape to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it&rsquo;s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn&rsquo;t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.</p></div>

Q: How many lights do I need for a 7-foot tree?

• <div><p>Christmas trees need about 100 lights per foot, so you would need 700 lights for a 7-foot tree. </p></div>
