Get matched with top holiday decorators in Brooklyn, NY

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: Are LED Christmas lights safe to leave up all year?

• <div><p>No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They&rsquo;re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they&rsquo;re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. </p></div>

Q: How many feet of lights do you need to wrap a column?

• <div><p>For a 7-foot-tall column, choose a light strand that is at least 32 feet long. You&rsquo;ll also need to measure the distance from the column to the closest outlet to get outdoor extension cords that are the right length.</p></div>

Q: What are the best types of Christmas lights for a roof?

• <div><p>When it comes to bang for your buck, LED lights are the clear winner for Christmas lights. While these will cost more upfront, they&rsquo;ll last you for many holidays to come&mdash;far longer than your basic halogen bulbs. Along with that, they also save you big on energy costs throughout the season.</p></div>

Q: Can I use both LED and incandescent Christmas lights together?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;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. </p></div>

"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."
