"Freddy helped me install Govee lights and reached out right away after I contacted him. He gave me a very fair quote and was punctual, arriving exactly when he said he would. He took his time to make sure the project was done right, and the final result came out great. He even helped me with a small side project I had, which I really appreciated. Overall, he was very trustworthy, communicated clearly throughout the process, and was easy to work with. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for quality work."

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts

Between seasons, inspect cords for damage, replace burnt-out bulbs, and clean lighting fixtures to prevent dirt buildup. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions will extend the lights' lifespan and minimize repairs or replacements when redeployed.

Using a staple gun to hang Christmas lights on your roof or shingles is not recommended. Puncturing your roof with staples can cause damage, leading to cracks, leaks, and exposure to the elements. Staples are also less reliable than other methods like roof clips. For a safer alternative that won't damage your roof, use shingle tabs.

Christmas trees need about 100 lights per foot, so you would need 700 lights for a 7-foot tree. 

The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.

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.
