"I was extremely pleased with the work done on my patio. Jason is a very hard worker and is focused on making sure of the customers satisfaction. I would highly recommend Jog pressure washing and cleaning."
"John and his crew did an outstanding job. They were neat and clean and picked. Up everyday. They installed the deck just the way we wanted. We would highly recommend them for any work needed to be done. Mike and John were fantastic."
"I could not manipulate the 90 degree turn around my staircase in order to move my queen size mattress into my upstairs bedroom. Every contractor told me that the baseboard would have to be split down the middle, then folded in half which would weaken the support when nailed back together. However, the Danco handyman removed the staircase railing and easily transported the mattress intact. No disassembly required. The railing was replaced without difficulty. The cost was under $70. He was honest, skilled, fast, careful and trustworthy. Job well done. I would hire him for future home projects."

"We discovered we could not give them access to the outside of the windows, because the screens could not be removed. They came to do an estimate and we would definitely had hired them if we could have resolved the screen problem."

You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar—winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring.
How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It’s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit.
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’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.
Yes, you can hang Christmas lights from the soffit of your roof, but it requires a bit more effort than hanging from the gutters or eaves. You’ll need to add an adhesive hook or tie to the underside of the soffit to keep the lights in place. Consider adding a soffit hook every 12 to 18 inches for best visual results.
